problem #1

Mar 012006

SL500 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 72,000 miles
Parts of the electrical system began failing. Drivers window would not operate and after much troubleshooting by the repair shop, the switch was replaced. Several weeks later gauges on the dash failed and the passenger window and horn failed to operate. After disassembling the interior (seats, console, dash, etc.) the repair shop came upon the problem - wires shorting all along the wiring harness and cause sparks and shorts throughout.
