Hi folks;

As a result of a parking lot incident I am able to economically convert my 1989 300E from US spec to Euro spec headlights along with the Euro wipers. The headlight wiring conversion was easy but the Euro wiper conversion has a problem.

The problem is that the US spec wiring connecters have 4 pins for the left headlight wiper motor and 3 pins for the right headlight wiper motor. The Euro spec wiper motors have 4 pins for each connector for both wiper motors. See attached pictures. The wiper motors were sourced from a 1995 E320 cabriolet in California as I understood that all '94-'95 W124's have the same headlight wiper motors no matter if they were US spec or Euro spec.

The shop connected the wiring connectors anyhow but blew a fuse so the connector differences are not trivial. It appears that the differences in the wiring connector for the right headlight wiper motor is causing the problem but not entirely sure. Can anyone direct me on what the problem could be? Is there another part that is missing such as a relay or other electrical part? Is it possible that I bought the wrong headlight wiper motors?

I appreciate your assistance as I would like to get my car operational!

Many thanks,
Paul
