I just bought a idle control unit for my 1985 380 SL (grey model) and I need the wiring harness so I can plug it in and mount it. It never had one installed when it came into the states. If anyone out there can help my name is Jim and I can be reached at (877) 633-4782 between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. Monday through Friday Pacific time.

If you have some sort of mechanical idle control, then you need to figure out how to adjust it. An idle relay won't do you any good without the idle air valve and its plumbing. You also need wiring from the temp sensor and ignition unit, AC switch, etc. I believe this is all integral to the engine/body wiring harness.

Thanks,
Jim
