Severed trunk wiring....AGAIN
I repaired my cut wiring on the right hand side of the trunk arm last year and now it is broken again. I did the repair again last night and added reinforcements and thinking it is not enough. I know this was a common issue with the e-class and I want to know what you guys did to permanently solve this problem?

His often do you use trunk open/close ?
Can you extend the short cables so they don't strain and twist on you..

common problem?
Common to whom?
not me - First time I am reading about it....
I suggest adding length to your wires during repair.
As most wire failures happen when they get pulled and do no have enough slack
Or bend back and forth a lot and at large angle

TRUNK LID HARNESS
some factory camera style (RFK) send CAN-B twisted-pair all the way to licence plate area. Its the bus in charge of "drain-by-parking".
Handle your "Brown-Red" pairs nicely without short circuits!!
