Re: [MBZ] We Have Seen the Harness and it Is Us

Harness is done.  Pig of a job, but definitely easier than the W140 lower 
harness which is far more complex.

Started right up and idled quite smooth.  Didn’t drive it but I still have an 
ASR light.  Grr.

Tomorrow it gets the hood pad and I start on the paint recovery.  I’m going to 
put the C3 to it again and see if anything new is going on with codes.

OK, I wasn’t ready to post them, but go to the link in my original post and you 
can see some close ups of the old and “new” harness.

Harness is rebuilt.  Took about an hour of work while listening to Terry Gross. 
 I will rest my bones then head back out to reinstall in a few minutes.

[MBZ] We Have Seen the Harness and it Is Us

Was planning on rebuilding the lower engine harness on the 400E this morning 
until youngest son sticks his head in my office and says, “Hey Dad, want to go 
to the range at 11:00?”

Yup.

So after a couple hours of range time on an absolutely beautiful Florida winter 
day (80F, 30% humidity, no clouds) we grabbed some lunch and then I started in.

It took me a little under an hour to extricate the harness while listening to 
George Gershwin and Rhapsody in Blue among other things..  You can see a 
picture of the remains here:

Far simpler than the W140 lower harness.  Only four small wires and one BIG 
one.  The convoluted tubing that was on it totally shattered and has formed a 
large pile under the car.   I’ve got everything on hand to rebuild it, so after 
I get a cold beverage I’ll head back out to the garage and have at it.
