Title: cluster wiring 1979 sl "multiwire connector" 12 wires in place
Post by: blackroldo on November 09, 2009, 17:51:49

Can Anybody help me? I had the "grey market" cluster on my 1979 sl and I am in USA so it was hard to keep up the speed limits in kilometers.
finally i found the cluster for my car with miles on it, I was happy, disconnected original one and connected the mileage one, everything should work, but my "multiconnector" to the cluster slipped out and the pins diconnected from the plastic, I thought I put it in correctly in order, but I have some doubts about it, it goes like clock 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 all around on the plastic part, I am not sure I put it back the way it should be in, what if I switch the places, what would happen?
Please help, any wiring tips, any pictures, I am lost.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that was a typo and you have a 69 w113 280sl

i would reccoment taking the back cover off the female 12 plug connectior and compare the colors of the harness wires to the colors of the wires coming out of the center cluster.

BTW there is no pig tail lead coming out of a R107 cluster, there is a round female harness connector that plugs directly into the circuit board on the back of the cluster.

Have a look at the connectors pdf on this page of the Technical Manual: http://www.sl113.org/wiki/Electrical/Connectors
