What's this?
What's this big white thingie?
Found in my 87 300D under the back seat, driver's side. Has only a 3pin electrical connection (which for me wasn't connected). Plugged it in, nothing happened. (except for a typhoon in Japan). No part numbers on it. What is it?

The only thing routed down that side is vacuum tubing as far as I remember. Some kind of electrical trunk release mechanism?

Superseded MB# 1248201026 + MB# 001A0008204687 New unit Claims to be an eight pole connector, which makes me suspect there is a TSB wire harness conversion involved. Last edited by whunter; 02-03-2008 at 12:15 AM. |

Answer:
Best guess:
The sub harness was removed to prevent anyone from re-connecting it. ![]() Last edited by whunter; 02-03-2008 at 12:21 AM. |
