It appears that my engine wiring harness is starting to age and malfunction. This is causing repeat check engine lights to occur, but my car still runs ok. The dealer wants $1080.00 for the part (Part #:A 202 440 96 05), and I was curious if this can be purchased anywhere else for cheaper. Has anyone found a place other than the dealership that sells this?

Thanks!

First off, welcome to the board. Secondly, you're in the AMG W202 section and not the general W202 section. Most of us aren't going know about the wiring harness on your car. Check ebay and the various parts websites. I usually look at http://www.buymbparts.com/index.html

The wiring harness is expensive. Mine was $1400 for a new one. The non AMG is around the price range you mentioned.
