Can anyone identify unknown plug on a w107 1975 280?
 

Hi - I was helping/trying to fix a vacuum prob on a 1975 w107 and found this plug, can not see where this will fit, it was found behind the glove box ...is it a spare or does it need to plug into something??:confused: It has two brown wires and one white with red stripe see pic below?? Anyone know what this is??

Thanks guys

There was an option in the 107 for a rechargeable flashlight that plugged into the glove box. It doubled as the glovebox light when it was plugged in. That looks like the plug for it.

i agree, not sure if mercedes still sells them, i bought one from bmw a few years ago that was basically the same unit. fit right in

That is the glove box receptacle. I may have one or two of the rechargable flashlights sitting on a shelf in my garage. Not sure if they work or not though. I assume they may have some sort of cell in them, but haven't taken them apart to check.

thanks for that repair DIY on the flashlight. mine has been sitting on the mantle for almost 2 years whilst I tried to find out what replacement batteries to use!
cheers

BMW part number for the light is 82 11 9 413 147
i havent called, but price seems around $27.00

So the Mercedes one looks the same? does it have the Mercedes logo or blank anyone have any pics of the original Mercedes - I have not seen the Mercedes version online, thanks. PS email me also if anyone has the orig mercedes one :D

of the 5 or so of the mercedes ones i have seen they are dark grey and do not have a logo

They are dark grey. I will be gone for the weekend, but if I get a chance I will see if I can locate the ones I have on the shelf. Of course it is supposed to be -15 to -20F here in Minnesota this weekend so don't know how much time I can spend in my unheated garage before I freeze my tootsies off.

Anyway, I will get back to you folks once I find them. Sit tight...

Sorry folks, was out of town on business so didn't get a chance to get out to look for the parts. Will take a look tonight when I get home. (if it ain't too late that is)

I will send a PM when I find them.

Found one spare glovebox flashlight in case anyone is interested. BI and meltedpanda you have PM.
