So... I had the earth wire issue with my W204 C Class on the passenger side rear cluster. Melted about 30mm of sheathing, the connector and the base plate. I bought all the new bits and set about taking the pins out of the old connector. Now it's been about 3 years since I have been on the tools, and I've only gone and made a schoolboy error. I forgot to take a photo of the old connector, or make a note of the wiring order.

Anyone with a W204 able to have a look at the connector on the passenger side and help me out?

Much appreciated.
 
It's the connector going into the rear passenger side light cluster. I know that the brown is closest to the outside, as that is the earth and it was the one which melted.
 
Thanks. That looks like it. I knew it went brown and then white and black. And I knew that grey was the last one. So all tallies up with what I knew. Brilliant. Thanks, again..
 
It worked...!
