“My 1994 mercedes C220 vehicle lost power and stop running during a 120 mile trip at 10 pm. During cold weather my pregnant wife and I were lucky to have a signal on our cell phone we contacted aaa had to wait 1 hour finally vehicle was towed. The next day a mechanic inspected the vehicle and he attributed the problem to an injectors wire harness that lost insulating capacity causing wires to touch each other creating a circuit short and fuel injectors malfunction.”
