I stripped the boot lining out of my SL55 on Sunday to try and get to the bottom of the Parktronic not working (never has since I had the car - it just alarms with all lights on, then switches itself off). A STAR readout showed faults on nearly all the sensors, which to me says ECU rather than a sensor issue, they are all clean with no damage etc.. Located the ECU in the boot, took connectors off, inspected for dry joints etc, cleaned and reattached but still got fault. One thing that did strike me though, there was a 6 wire multiplug just hanging loose in that area, not connected to anything (See pic) . There are no spare connections on any of the ECU's in that area, however I did notice a spare socket that looked suspiciously like it might fit it, on a short length of cable going through a grommet into the rear wing area (Second pic) , although it seemed to far away from the plug to reach. Does anyone know what this multiplug is for? Wire colours are :-
White/Yellow
Brown/Blue
Black/Yellow
Yellow/Red
Yellow/Purple
Yellow/White
Is this something to do with the Parktronic maybe? The socket that looks a possibility goes through a grommet into the rear wing area, under where the aerial is. I didn't want to try tease the cables together and connect them without knowing it's definitely the correct connector first! (visions of towering inferno and hysterically cackling insurance man!)
