BusDepot also sells a great brand new alternator harness. For the time it would take me to make one, it’s about half the cost I would charge.

is that connector the same size as a headlight connector?

No, the terminals are all parallel on the alternator plug. Headlight plugs are shaped like |_| and use more complicated right angle “flag” crimp terminals.

Since BusDepot is making the new harness, I know the plug has to be available, but I couldn’t find it on DigiKey, and Mercedes is out of stock. It’s the same plug as many vintage Benz and BMW cars too.

I also looked at Mouser and Digikey, and did not find any. Maybe Kyle might know, but he might not share the info. He makes really high quality alternator harnesses.
