Wiring a 1989 Mercedes Ignition Harness Help -- To Universal

I have a 1989 Mercedes 300E which has had about 15 owners, Over time the Ignition was replaced, I know this cause I ordered the Master Key from Mercedes... Anyway, I have started Wiring the new ignition (universal) and mounting it, the wiring goes: 12V Constant - Red Starter Wire - Purple 12V Iginition Wire - Pink/Red Accessory Wire - Pink/Yellow 2nd Accessory Wire - Pink/Green --Heres the thing, I have 7 wires coming from the Ignition Harness... 2 Red Wires 1 Purple 1 Pink/Red 1 Pink/Yellow 1 Pink/Green 1 Green/White Now I know Purple goes to ST, Pink/Yellow and Pink/Green go to ACC, Pink/Red goes to IGN... but do I wire the two Reds together on Batt... and then what is Green/White for??

    This is not a question on starting, it's a question on how to wire the new ignition.... I have 2 Red wires, do they go together on the switch? And what is the smaller gauge green and white wire to?

SOURCE: what are the schematics for wirinig an ignition

  1. The following fuses can cause the car not to start. Check and Replace fuses B, 5 and 6 and 7.
  2. Check the power to the neutral safety switch. When the ignition switch is activated there is no power to the neutral safety switch. Power to the neutral safety switch comes from the ignition switch on the violet wire. If there is no power at the violet wire when the key turns to start, the ignition switch is probably bad or there is a problem with the wiring to the switch.

ASD light is on in my mercedes 300E

First the sensor in the rear gearbox may be bad or corroded for sensing wheel speed. Also the engine wiring harness may be falling apart. From 1991-1995 the US made MB use biodegradable material on the wiring. When the insulation cracks you get shorts in the system. The same wires are in your EHA on the air inlet area. Check and replace as needed.
