Ugh. My brother’s SDL got a short in the trunk light, and we had to run quite a bit of wire to fix the damage. Trace back the harness, likely the hot wire melted some insulation all along the way, and you have some shorts in there. Peter > On Oct 24, 2022, at 6:14 PM, Kaleb Striplin via

Yep, it does, and you would think it would only go in one way. However if you try hard enough, it will go in just fine upside down.  With these adapters they sometimes do not have a big enough of a tab to prevent this.  Its not hard to get it in upside down but goes in smooth with it correct.

And pardon my asking, but was this with a 7 pin (round) trailer connector? Those have a rib on the plug that will only allow it to be inserted into the socket one way. I’m confused. -D > On Oct 24, 2022, at 7:35 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > Yes. > > Sent from my iPhone >

I figured out what she did.  She managed to plug the adapter in upside down which sent the 12 volt acc straight to the ground of the 4 flat on the trailer.  It burned that wire all the way to the frame of the trailer.  In looking at the adapter, the 4 flat ground is fused to the adapter and I

I guess on the bright side if she was towing it with the GL and the trailer wiring shorted, it might have fried the rear Sam. It looks like the brake like module in the back that I suspect it fried is only $25 at the flaps. Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 23, 2022, at 7:07 PM, Buggered Benzmail
