By the way: my car had never had the factory-recommended upgrade to the blower wiring: the problem is, because of the high current the blower uses on "High", and the amount of time the blower spends on "High" in warmer climates, it can overheat the terminal ont he bottom-side of the fuse block, causing the terminal to loosen and be pushed down by the spring tension holding the fuse. Better check to see if your car has had this; there's a lot of wiring in the bottom of the fuse box.

I would think that your idea of soldering in some new wire should work.
The thermistor operates on a fairly narrow resistance range, but a few inches of copper wire shouldn't make much of a difference.
I wonder if my 1984 300SD ever had the blower motor wiring upgrade?
How recent was this?
I wonder if it is a safety recall that MB might do for free?
