Need Help Identifying Connector - Please take a guess.
Can someone please help me identify where this plug connects? I am trying to finish up the infamous balance shaft job on my wife's CLK 350 and had almost everything connected but this one plug. It is located in the front left. I wasn't concerned with it as I was putting in the engine because I thought it connected to the radiator or something up front but I cannot for the life of me see where it is supposed to go. I am at a standstill until I identify what this connects to. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Does that say "210-540-43-81" on the end of the connector? That gives me "travel sensor" but I'm not sure what that would be in the front-left of the car
I dragged out a light and a magnifying glass and at first I thought it said 43, but after looking at it for a while I think it says 210 540 63 81 rather than 43. What is a travel sensor anyway? Maybe the same plug is used for other things in different parts of the car.
That's probably what I will end up doing. I just pulled the engine, did a balance shaft replacement and have reinstalled the engine, so I suspect I will have a number of error codes to work through. But, one of them may jump out as the clear culprit.
Sadly it looks like that part number was used for a bunch of different connectors. I see an 'air quality sensor' and a bunch of ESP / Traction control sensors with that plug
Got it. It turns out I covered the connection for this connector when I flipped up the bottom cover for the radiator. This plug connects to the bottom left corner of the radiator. It is a sensor for the expansion valve (I guess that is what it is).
Brain dead me flipped it up before checking for that connector.
Yes it is. Turns out I flipped up the black bottom radiator cover before looking at that plug. I thought about it later, flipped it back down and saw the connection.
