The W123 chassis covers 240D's, 300D's, 300TD's, 280E's, and several other models of Mercedes coupes, sedans and wagons from model years 1977 to 1985.

Speed sensor on rear of W123 280E speedo.

Two wires are attached to the speed sensor solenoid module on the rear of my 280E speedometer - the one with the black plastic cover which screws onto the speedo back cover, One is Green-Yellow the other is Brown. Unfortunately my brown one broke off during disassembly so I had to solder it back on. In order to do so I had to disassemble the associated plug. In doing so both wires fell out before I could note their relevant positions in the plug. Can someone please tell me if the yellow-green wire is closest to the top of the speedo or the bottom of the speedo please?

Here is a picture out of the instrument cluster guide. This is from a 300D but this particular part is likely the same. It's the best picture I have. Zoom in to it for more detail.

It looks to me like green/yellow is on the right side/passenger size of said plug. Hope it helps.
