S400 CDI
Question CAN BUS

Hi,
I wish to know where I connect or placed this. I found it under the steering wheel compartment.
Thanks.

I have cluster problems.
When I disassembled below to clean I saw those loose cables.

That appears to be just a CAN bus connector - that is, just a convenient place to plug in bus leads. You should be able to find a couple of small slots somewhere that the harness will easily reach to snap it in place to hold it up out of the way.

No idea on the unused single connector - but it is not unusual to find such connectors scattered around the car, intended for an option that was not included in your car's build.

The problem is exactly this, I can not find any connector to plug it in.

It's not that kind of connector - it has everything plugged into it that it needs. It is just an interconnector for all of those brown and brown/red wires that are all part of the CAN bus. All you need to find is the bracket or slots where that connector is stored to keep it from rattling.

You are right. I discover where it parked.
Thanks 🙏🏻
