Zayed do you have any info on the wiring?

cm60k

Unfortunately i didn't remember a clear spes. for wiring installation,, i told my friend to send any pics. he had for that Tip- installation & he sent "3" pics.,, but as far as remember i only changed "2" connectors(Recognition switch & Reverse wire),,



ZAYED,,

amg4.3

Did you have to buy new connectors?

Which pins do the wires go in the gauge cluster?

I will have to get this info as it impossible guessing which wire goes where

cm60k

As i mentioned before,, there’re a different models & versions of the gear harness,, im not sure which version AKA wires in your car, you have a

better idea than the one i did,, if one of those CLK320 you found has a Tip., you can simply take it with a gear harness either,, that will make the

things easy to you, better to not loosing time of connections & wiring job, like we did....

I have ordered a new one from dealers. So i will have to do with that now as they wont take it back.

cm60k

Did you ordered the Tip Shifter or the gear Harness.....??

ZAYED,,

amg4.3

Gear harness i ordered from dealer. Shifter i will be getting on monday hopefully

cm60k

Which gear harness you ordered..?, is it the same one you have in the car....??

ZAYED,,

amg4.3

I ordered the one you gave the part no for?

cm60k

Do you mean the Cluster indicator cable. #: "203 267 00 64"....??

ZAYED,,

amg4.3

Yes thats the one i ordered. Do i need another harness?

cm60k

This is NOT the gear harness,, this cable for ignition lock & shows the position of the gear selector you desired in the Cluster,, the gear harness is the main wires connecting from the shifter to the TCU goes to the main Trans. plug,,

I didn’t give you the Harness # before, cause i thought there is a good Electrician around you can do the connections,, don’t worry about that, just you are lucky to find a CLK320, you can take the Harness right away,,

By the way: the Harness should comes with #: "202 440 69 09", or "202 440 70 09".

ZAYED,,

amg4.3

So the wiring has to be changed aswel?

amg4.3

Zayed can you please confirm this?

cm60k

Sure my friend,, if you change the wires, that will make things easier to you,, as i told you: unless if there’s a professional garage that has

an Electrician can do the wires & connectors swap.....

ZAYED,,

amg4.3

Zayed im confused why does the wiring need to be changed? We are not changing TCU so why change wiring. If we changed TCU then i understand the wiring needs to be changed

I will be doing this mod my self

cm60k

See, all W202 & W208 comes with a different versions of wiring harness, im not sure which version you have, when i pulled out my friends C43 wires i noticed he got a different version than i do,, although we have a same 98 C43s models & spec.,,

All TCUs has the same pins & connectors, the wiring which i talking about for the Tip shifter it self,,

Some of the earlier Tip wires has a minor different than the one we have, but some of late version of the Tip wires has more different,, that’s why i cannot confirm which version of wires you have, need to pull them-out & see.....

ZAYED,,

amg4.3

Ok i see zayed the part numbers 202 440 69 09, or "202 440 70 09" are these what i need to look out for? If i have these part numbers i don't need to change wiring is this correct?

cm60k

These part #s for the Tip shifter, NOT for the one you have,,

Do you ordered the Tip shifter from CLK320...?, if so, which model is that...??, and is it from the junk yard.....???

ZAYED,,

amg4.3

Yes its from clk 320 and its from junk yard. I e mailed the guy about the part no but he hasnt got back to me. He hasn't taken it out of the car yet

How will i know which harness i have?

cm60k

Did he told you which model of that CLK320......??

ZAYED,,

amg4.3

I think its 1999 model

cm60k

That’s good, if you can tell him to send the wire from the same car it well be great.....
