engine wiring harness

It appears my biodegradable wiring harness (94 E-320 wagon) is doing what is supposed to do only much to early. My dealer quoted a price of about $760 for the harness. Does anyone has a good parts supplier that only charges an arm instead of an arm and a leg.

Try to contact these people:

I would expect the wiring harness to cost only $525 for your car. Mine was $725 only because it was a late 95 model.

Now is a good time to buy because they're hosting a 5% off everything sale.

You may need to replace the connectors under each coil. I forget what they're exactly called but they don't cost much. These parts are known to give problems and this issue has been discussed many times in the past.
