is SOLD
thats sucks. if you knew someone well at the dealership maybe they could have sold it to you separately. each item has a part number and you should be able to get it separately.

BS - just cause a parts dep dude does not know how to search for partnumbers doesn't mean that they don't sell single connectors...wannabet that I can give you the partnumber of the connector you needed?

I'd bet Steve could even find a part number for a connector housing that is NOT in the parts list!

greetingz,
i hope your right.if you are; do you think i can bring in the rest back and explain to the manager that the guy direct me to the wrong part and get part of my $$$ back?
hey he did try to tell me that i needed a new unit, then i pull out the other part of the clip from the unit told him this is the only thing i needed.the idiot went to ask the mechanic and they told him i needed the whole wiring harness.maybe they wanted to scam me.

mb overcharges for everything! and everything they tell u "oh we dont make that small piece, you have to BUY THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY"

i'm just waiting for that day where they say... "oh we dont make that assembly, you have to buy a new car and swap that in"
