Allan: I have the U.S. Tech DVD from M-B. The schematics cover all years and variations of the 129 chassis. Also, since your ETA is apparantly fine, your bypassed ASR problem might caused by a faulty switch on the brake pedal (according to the Mercedesshop archives).

Dale: you have a '93, and '93-'95 are notorious for having problems with wiring insulation in the engine compartment that disables the ETA. When you removed and replaced the throttle connector you may have disturbed the wiring in a beneficial way. You may want to do a search on "wiring", "harness", and "insulation".
________________________________

A note about the three wires. The blue/white wire is a 12VDC signal that the engine is running. Rather than cutting into a harness to sever the wire, you should be able to simply disconnect it at the terminal block located under a plastic cover near the ASR control module (anyone who wants a picture can email me). It is not necessary to interrupt the other two wires to disable ASR, since these are used simply to drive warning indicators.
