I broke the gray locking pin while disconnecting the passenger side front bumper harness connector.

Anyone know if it has a part number or is sold separately?? I've also seen them on headlight connectors.

Broken pin



You can see it @ 4:15 in this video

 

Help

 

Any clue what that wire is at 4:15?

 

its in the front bumper on the right inner fender. My car has parking sensors in the bumper I guess. I've added a zip tie for now. Thanks.

 

It appears most MB cars have it. check video @ 1:20



Maybe I can find a salvage harness?

 

When I changed out my factory illuminated star for an aftermarket one, it did NOT come with a plug end, just bare wire ends. I didn't want to cut the original factory plug just in case I wanted to change it back so I had to find an original factory plug end. Sounds like a simple find right, I mean after all there are countless wire connectors used in every German car made over the last unpteen years. After searching the web I seen a few that 'might' be the right part but didn't show a clear photo of the inside. Rather than order something that might work I took the original star with the factory plug end to a couple of repair shops that specialise in Foreign cars. On my 3rd stop I found a shop that works mostly on BMW's. I showed the guy what I needed and he fumbled around in a box full of wiring harnesses and pulled out one that was an exact match! Cost was $25.00, which was probably twice the actual cost but hey he was holding the part that I needed in his hand so I bought it.
Hope that helps ya' Benzdude!

 

I think I found it. Thanks!



I googled and found a picture. There is my gray pin!!! $10
