Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1993 MERCEDES BENZ 300E AND THE WIRING HARNESS HAS BROKEN DOWN. THE INSULATION ON THE WIRES HAS COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED TO THE POINT WHERE THE WIRES ARE TOUCHING EACH OTHER. THIS IN TURN MAKE THE ENGINE RUN POORLY AND REPLACING THE WIRING HARNESS IS THE ONLY OPTION. THIS AT A COST OF OVER $1200 FOR PARTS AND PROBABLY $1000 IN LABOR. *TR
