| 1995 e300d wiring harness is disintegrating with respect to the wire insulation. when the wire is flexed during normal maintenance the insulation flakes off leaving exposed copper wire the can short out critical component's and cause a fire. *jb | |||

| Wiring harness failure. *jb | |||
| The engine ran very rough and raw gas was going out of the exhaust pipe. the check engine warning light did not come on. the repair shop said that the engine wiring harness had melted the insulation and cause the wires to touch. this caused the #6 injector to spray to much fuel. the wires that touched also burned out the engine control module. the crank case and the exhaust were filled with gas, and still no check engine light came on. mercedes-benz has a diagnostic directory # af07.00-u-3400a about this problem, but the will not pay for this repair. they say that they have never heard of this happening. i fell that mercedes-benz should be responsable and they should be made to recall this cars because of the obvious fire hazard.*ak | |||

| The engine electrical harness on 1995 e320 mercedes are flawed beyond belief. the entire harness bundle which includes high voltage lines for ignition coils and the fuel injection system has a severe fire problem due to the fact that the wire insulation is inferior in material quality. the insulation along these wire is cracking at a rate of every 1/4 inch, througout the entire harness. high voltage copper wire are making contact, these wire run on top of the fuel control system. all austin based mercedes shops inform me that this is a common problem with this year and model, but mercedes will not admit to it. this problem is as dangerous as any facing the current board and to have mercedes benz act like it is not a problem is just a bunch of fuey. please send an investigator to look at this wiring harness and i will assure you that this will be a recall event once you see what is happening to these harness's. thanks.*ak | |||
