Does anyone have an engine wiring harness #124-440-56-32 lying around spare that is for sale. My E320 needs a new one. Fuel mileage went south and idling is rough. Wiring harness is badly deteriorated. Dealer wants $870.00 plus 9% tax. Ouch.

 

Yikes! $799

If mine goes I think I'll try to make one or yank the new one off your car.

 

Those are pretty expensive prices for the wiring harnesses.

I only paid $400 for mine.

 

...that you bought from...

 

I had replaced a engine wiring harness on 95 E420 for $400 few years back. I got mine from www.mercedesshop.com

 

Thanks all. It seem that the best price is the e-Bay listing. Still too much in my opinion but it is MB.

 

you should probably buy anew harness, since you will end up in the same boat sooner or later with the old/used one.

 

...that I bought from...

...a Mercedes-Benz Dealership...

 

The engine wiring harness for the E420 is completely different from the E320 - apples and oranges.

I'm not aware of any low cost source for the 94 E320 engine wiring harness. As far as I know the price in this link is as good as any.

I have a 93 300e 4matic, how would i know if its time to replace my harness. Also i had a wire short int he engine bay and tracked it to a wire under the fuse box. And in a bundle of wire was like grey silly putty stuff. Is that normal form the factory?

 

I have new MB harness for a 92 / 93 400E. Let it go for $700. Paid nearly $900. It will only fit the 92/93 400E without ASR. Probably fit the 500E too.

 

jmoney6, here is a link for some reading on the subject. There should be pictures of what this problem looks like.

The gray putty probably indicates that the cheap-*** previous owner saw bare wires and put a "band-aid" on the situation, leaving you to deal with it properly.

 

Don't wait too long....electrical shorts in the wiring can cause extensive damage to other electronic components, requiring replacement of these items as well.

Best of luck in your hunt.

 

An engine harness from a 93 400E wont fit a 94 e420 will it?

 

I recommend spending the $$$ for a new one. Save yourself the hassle of doing the job twice.

 

I understand that i should just buy a new one, but i was wondering if the one from a '93 400e would fit because i could get it for free...

 

IT SHOULD ACCORDING TO THE EPC

 

Thank you ynavsoy

 

NO PROB IF U NEED HELP JUST PM ME
BY THE WAY MY NAME IS YOSVANY

 

Might sound crazy but has anyone tried repairing there own? Obviously the wires aren't in bad shape all the way back, so i was just wondering if someone ever had the time or the urge to try to fix an old harness. I have nothing but time this winter to give it a try so i was just curious if it was even worth the effort.

 

I've heard reports from others who replaced the wires on a bench, one at a time, until the whole engine wiring harness was refreshed. If you go this route, you'll need wire where the insulation can resist underhood temperatures. They aren't that commonly available over the counter, but can be ordered over the internet. And obviously, you'll need to match the wire gauge.

 

hmmm thinking about doing this over the winter...

 

I work at a mb dealership in ny and I can get you one for 775.00 plus shipping. That is the cheapest you will legally find one. I get employe discount. Also if you need anything else, let me know.

Thanks
