| My 1994 c220 has had its check engine light on for awhile and there seems to be some intermittent electrical issues with the car either not starting properly, strange noises when i turn the radio on when the antenna goes up, the heat automatically turns on, the front headlights keep going out, the car hesitates when shifting from park to in gear or from neutral to in gear or park or reverse. i was told by a licensed mercedes service center that they can not repair any other items under my hood until the engine wire harness is totally replaced since it has worn insulation and frayed and bare wires. their policy is to do nothing to the car until harness is replaced. too dangerous, fire hazard, etc. *tr | |||
