No mindless speculation.

Mercedes won't admit that there is a problem so rule them out at a source of info.

1. Wiring on the engine will fail more rapidly due to high heat and flexing / vibration.

2. Under hood wiring is subject to a bit less heat and much less flexing / vibration.

3. Dash wiring is only subject to closed car heat and minimal flexing / vibration.

Has anyone looked for a maker mark on the harness tags to determine if the engine harness is from the same maker as body wiring? Supposedly Delphi ( Parts arm of GM ) makes the updated replacement harnesses.
