Hi, I found this socket not connected near the projector lights from the front bottom of the car (W210 E230 1997 Avantgarde), so what is this for ?

What colour is the wire that it is connected to?

What size is it? (Dificult to tell from the photograph).

It looks as if it has a seal around it, which would imply that it is plugged into another connector end or some equipment.

The picture is very close, maybe one a bit further back would give a better clue.

The wiring loom may well have the connector,even though the option is not on the car.It would surprise me if MB custom made a wiring loom for each and every car. Got my parachute ready if/when I get shot down in flames!:lol::lol:

Sometimes the wiring looms contain plugs for options that may not have been added at the factory, perhaps this is the case here?

edit; I have just seen Jay has posted similar solution. I must be a slow writer, took me 3 minutes to write one line, lol

Do you have cruise control fitted? If so, this is not used. It's the connector related to the throttle idle.
