Its placement on the vehicle, specified as rear – left side, allows for unambiguous identification of the component during diagnostics or repair planning. This helps avoid errors in part selection and reduces service time.

Construction and Technical Function

The component combines a section of cable with a matching rear lamp socket, allowing for a near plug-and-play installation without the need for custom connectors or wiring modifications. The cable's construction is prepared for operation in the trunk area and lamp recess, where variable temperature conditions and exposure to moisture can occur.

Key functions of the rear lamp plug and socket cable:

• ensuring a stable electrical connection of the lamp to the vehicle's electrical system,
• transmitting signals for the brake light and other rear lamp functions,
• reducing the risk of loose connections and electrical shorts within the connector,
• facilitating servicing and potential lamp replacement without interfering with the main wiring harness.

Benefits of Using an Original Cable

Using a cable dedicated to the Mercedes W245 ensures consistency with the factory electrical installation. The proper fit of the connector and cable length translates to:

• secure mounting of the socket in the rear lamp,
• correct routing of the cable within the bodywork,
• reduced risk of mechanical damage and chafing,
• easier diagnostics of potential lighting faults.

This type of component is particularly useful in situations where the factory connector has been damaged, contacts have been burnt, or the cable has been broken due to vehicle use.

Product Condition and Service Application

The offered rear lamp plug and socket cable is a used part, making it an attractive solution for maintenance repairs and restoring the lighting system's functionality in older Mercedes W245 models. It is a practical option for workshops and individual users who want to reduce costs while maintaining compatibility with the factory installation design.
