My C250 was flooded due to a devastated typhoon, up to the height of the seat sitting cushion was flooded with water. Now I am looking for used repaired parts. I want to know the names of electronic devices those are located on the floor of the left hand side of the front seat, mine is RHD version.
Thanks.

Save yourself grief and just get rid of it.

I get the idea that you're not in the US, so may not have the same access to insurance and must try to salvage the car yourself. You should look a factory workshop or repair manual online that can be downloaded as pdfs and provide all the parts and wiring info you need. A flood car is likely to be an ongoing nightmare unless you replace all the electronics and wiring that were affected. Very costly in cars with so much electronics, especially if you're not a technician.

Thanks your advice. I had successfully found some parts and am looking for the wiring loom inside the passenger compartment. The connectors of the original wire are not reliable anymore. Any hints of where to find it. I went through eBay but failed. I think the wire set itself does not cost a lot thus the dismantler shop will not pull it out for sale.

I am guessing you are from HK? Shouldn't your insurance cover damages like that as well?

Normally insurance doesn't cover lost due to typhoon. Considering the value of the car and the cost for repairing it, I decided to go. Of course, lots of follow ups to go. Anyone can help to recommend someone I can approached to find the wire set?

Good luck, this guy had his C63 written off after just 2 months when a car splashed his car in heavy rain.

Wow, interesting thread as I just had my 2007 S550 AWD flooded today. Everything seems to work but the car won't start. Frustrating.
