Thanks Bobs for that info! It cost my uncle $2400 to have the evaporator core done on his 1992 S320.
Good news about the wiring harnesses.

The evaporator swap will cost you about $5,000 because the monumental amount of labor involved. The wiring harness is almost a DYI job. In fact, someone over at Benzworld.org actually re-built the wiring harness on his S600 by hand!
