Anyone out there know the whereabouts of a vehicle speed sense wire on a 2003 Mercedes E300?

If you have a comprehensive tech sheet, even better.

Thanx

Try looking for a GREEN/ black at the radio. It should be there even if it is not that color.

The 03 is very different than the 02.

There is only a three wire power harness and a fiber optic connection on the back of the radio.

In addition, I can't even find an accessory wire anywhere on this vehicle. I check all three fuse blocks, and the ignition harness.

Nothing "drops out" on this car when the engine is cranking.

bizarre!

Try GREEN/ black along passenger door (floor). Often a whole bunch of them criped together with a butt connector.

I use the cig. lighter for accessory.
