Front doors, 2 each, total 4 (1 for interior lights, alarm, buzzer, etc.; 1 for power seats)
Rear doors, 1 each, total 2
Trunk, total 1
Hood, total 1
Grand total 8 (I didn't count the glovebox, thanks for the reminder)
It is possible that later 124s had more sophisticated electronics ("convenience modules") and got along with one switch for each front door. My '87 needs 2 as shown in the attached picture, taken while I was replacing the dash in 2009. I had upgraded one of the switches but the other was still the old style. Since then I have upgraded all of them.
Is there a locking version of the glovebox switch available?
