Can someone help a stupid person?
It was a long day Sunday when my brother in law and I had the devil getting the plug back into the torque converter while changing the transmission fluid and filter. It was getting late when we finished and we still needed to change the oxygen sensor using the Bosch 13275 which is the universal replacement for the 400E. We were in a rush, bad mistake.
I intended to splice the oxygen sensor on the inside just like I did on my 300E. While my brother in law was putting in the new oxygen sensor under the car, I was busy on the passenger inside removing the connector and pulling and cutting wires. As it turned out, the wires were not long enough to reach the inside, so we should have just spliced under the car and the wires would have matched. To make a long story short, I ended up with wire colors that didn't match because the female part of the connector had black, brown, yellow, black with a blue stripe wires. The male part of the connector had wires the same as the oxxgen sensor, black, gray and 2 white. With the female part of the connector destroyed, I had no idea how the wires matched up. I now have a completely incapacitated 1993 400E sitting in my driveway. If someone out of the kindness of their heart who has a 400E or possibly an E420 up to 1995, could go to the oxygen sensor connector under the carpet on the passengers side and help me I would be eternally grateful. If you pull the connector off, the male side will be numbered 1 to 4 going counter clockwise from top left. I need to know what color wire on the female connector matches each number. I have the male part of the connector, so I'll be able to match the wires with that info.
