This is going to be a Malcolm thread I think, so I have now retrofitted my used rear wheel carrier. After a lot of puffing, grunting and hurt body parts of varying positions around the body. My luck is that the rear suspension has been uprated already for towing so the required stiffening plates either side of the chassis were already there. Took them off and had them re powdercoated. New Nuts & Bolts of the required length and thread have been used all over. now come the problematic part. There are only three lights that need to be worried about. The two number plate lights on the lets call it a plastic shield that needs to have a new number plate it of a square one and the new high level 3rd stop light. Cut a long story short there is a single plug under the hinge side and three plugs that emerge out of the tubing at the top for the plastic cover bit.
1) does MB make the need harness and is it plug and play. This is the car side ?
2) looking at the electronic diagram for the rear wheel carrier has made it as clear as concrete. I see the bit that it refers too, but might as well be speaking urdu via a Russian translator in other words to me it is about 5 miles above my head.
3) If such a harness exists it would exit the bottom of the car left side looking from back behind the bumper.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Ian
