Hey Guys,

Thanks for the advise about the ticking noise and fluctuating idle problems in my E-320 you've been giving me over the last few months.

I talked to my mechanic and told him I was taking my car to the dealership, since he couldn't figure out the problem without me throwing various expensive (like a new wiring harness!!) parts at it.

The dealership discovered that the cruise control/idle control thingy was bad. They simply threw parts at my car until the problem dissapeared.

The part new from the dealer is about $1400! I found one from Potomac German in MD for a bit over $300 and my mechanic will install it for free since I've had this problem for so long.

Anyone interested in a good wiring harness for around $200? I still have the old one that was replaced without needing it.
