After twisting the 'cap' loose, use an sharp knife (Xacto) and carefully cut the sheath being careful not to cut the wires inside. Once those wires are visible, you will know the 'state' of the wiring harness. If those are bad, so is the rest of the wiring harness . . . . independent of the ETA wiring. Quote:
Might be better to check out either Beckmann (more expensive) or Jaytan. If you take it off, they can test it provided you don't need that car. On the other hand, Jaytan prices look attractive, so just getting a refurbed unit might be the easiest solution. |

I'll check around on some prices. If you look at the pictures, I was pointing to the ETA (under the MAF) and the wire leading to it with the tip of a long screwdriver. The MAF plug obviously made its way into the picture. I replaced my wiring harness a few months back. It doesn't look like fun trying to get the ETA out between the manifold.
Do cars with the ASR option have the same mechanical throttle linkage as non-ASR cars? (specifically, the linkage in the picture).

Well, then solves that problem nicely! Quote:
Not sure but the ASR option is in the ABS module. I think they are the same?? Once you get it out, you will see the PN. |

Jim, your WAG wasn't far off. I couldn't find the part on MercedesShop.com, but Duval wants $1,068 for an ETA.

FYI: the old style ETA plug (90 deg) and cable is available separately from Germany very cheap (compare to ETA). If you want you could replace the cable and hope for the best. p/n 140 540 15 81. I ordered them couple years ago from Roy Tucker. http://rrparts.com/

I will certainly keep that in mind, even if I decide to get a new ETA and fix my old one. But, rebuilding the connector that goes into the ETA seems to be a complex job (it takes up the whole last quarter of the page in this link http://v12uberalles.com/throttle_actuator_rewire.htm).
BTW, my cruise control is working again. Go figure.

But keep in mind this p/n 140 540 15 81 is for the older 90 degree connector from I believe 92 - 93 cars. The newer ETAs have straight connector with different pin arrangement.

It's hard to tell whether any soldering would be required where it goes into the ETA. If I just wanted to change the cable harness alone, does anyone know whether I can just pull the old cable out or is it more complex than that?
Myarmar, when you refer to the 90 degree connector, is this what you're referring to?

From this picture, it looks like maybe there are pins that go all the way into the ETA.

Yes, that connector. Should have p/n on it. And yes soldering would be required. check JimF pictures of the ETA internals.
Look at the picture Jim attached in post #42. Connector and black cable is p/n 140 540 15 81. It goes inside ETA and each wire soldered to the PCB there. Mike Last edited by myarmar; 10-28-2007 at 11:18 PM. |

Thanks. This is all helpful information. Last week, I didn't know what the ETA was, where to find it, or whether my car even had one.

Yes, I understand . . . I've added to MENU#24 . . .

Check Pete's link for good picture of the frayed wires coming in from the cable. You will need good soldering skills and be able to match wires and pins. Not a trivial task . .

Follow-Up
Here's a follow up on the ETA wiring harness. I was able to order one through the dealer for $18.00. It had to ship from Germany. It looks like some soldering will be required where it goes into the ETA (11 wires total). I think I'll wait until my cruise control goes out again before I screw with it.
