W124 OVP socket popped out...where does it fit?
 

So my OVP socket came out and was hanging loose after I swapped out the OVP and for the life of me I cannot figure out where it was??

Where does it fit? Does anybody have a close up photo of the OVP installed so I can figure out where the engine harness socket-side goes?

Thanks!

Pictures for You
 

Look on the Driver's side of the Plastico Apparatus the holds the ECU.
(In Back of the "Battery Box" Plastico divider.)

The "Attachment" point is the two metal tabs on the OVP relay itself.

The metal tab (Towards the Front of the chassis) just slides into a Plastico fitting.
The metal Tab (Towards the Rear of the chassis just slides Downward from about a
45 degree slant from above horizontal into a Plastico U shaped fitting that's attached to
the Plastico upright that holds the whole mess. Sort of like the bar on a ancient castle gate.

Perfect thanks!!
So the connector isn't held in anywhere...

YMMV

BUT,check it out

you know how MB loves to standardize.

hmm mine does not have the bracket....irritating.

my e300d has the ovp mounted in the plastic tray - not external like you show.
