Hello I’ve recently noticed this loose wire in the engine bay of my w123 200. Thanks
If you are asking what the wire is, it is for the automatic choke unit if I remember correctly. It only looks like the outer sheath is broken. If the actual wire is OK just tape it up.
The wire is actually broken off.
I’ve connected this wires back together now. Not sure I’ll be able to tell if it work at the moment as it hot weather.
After connecting these wires I’m not sure if it has blown a fuse as my central locking as it isn’t working properly now. Is there any way I can tell? Thanks
Bear in mind that your central locking system on the W123 works on engine vacuum and is not electric, and I very much doubt if it is associated. However you may have disturbed the pipe that proivides vacuum for the system to operate.
What do you mean that it is not working correctly ?
I’ll try doing some trouble shooting by checking the pipes and fuses.
Just the main driver door is opening and I have to manually open the other doors from the inside.
