[W124] Wiring harness

[Jonathan]

Felix,

If you are seeing exposed wires it's Really best to replace the 
harness.  If you try to repair one part undoubtedly another part will 
fail from having been touched.

The job is do-able for a moderate DIY...it's more a case of taking one's 
time and replacing the wires/ends a section @ a time.
