I think this problem is what is scaring people away and driving the price down, but a repaired harness on eBay is $500.

It probably won't be easy, but it's work I enjoy.
If replacement harnesses are available, then I'd get a PPI and consider it.

I really like my W124. Mercedes of that generation remain DIYable, in my view.

My W211 is not very DIYable. Has Canbus, fibre optics, too many repairs need computer intervention using the expensive Star tool. Took me a month of swearing to install an Android head unit, I felt like a moron.
