300SD seat swap - and resulting damage.
Today, I swapped the two front seats- the driver's was really bad due to broken and weak springs. Took me about 3.5 hours, having never done anything like that before. I'll write more later if anyone is interested in how to do it.
But, when I was putting the driver's seat back in, it got jammed on the turn signal stalk and before I knew what happened, it broke! Now I need another combination switch (MB's term) and new ones are nearly $200. Does anyone have one they would sell me? The 300D is a different part number than the SD, so it has to be for an SD - probably 81-85 are the same. This is my daily driver and I need it quick! Thanks! Hans 1981 300SD

If you cannot find a decent used one:
https://www.***************/catalog/lookup_parts.cfm?SubcategoryID=4832&VehicleID=1194005&CFID=509229&CFToken=13390284 Saves a few bucks, anyway. Had to buy one myself due to a failure of the washer switch.

Let me know how much they want, and I can see what they want at my local yard. (they have an SD and a SEL there right now)

The Pick UR Part places are pretty cheap for this type of item. Just takes time.

The ideal situation is to find someone that pulled the steering wheel and just left it all apart
 Then you go in, remove the few screws and wires, and you are good to go! I have a turn signal assembly sitting in the garage with a non-working turn cancel. I haven't tried to fix it yet even though I know whats wrong. If you REALLY need one I can send this not perfect one. Brandon

It's not going to be all that much fun getting the switch out. The wheel needs to come off and the cluster needs to come out to gain access to the big connector plug. I've been checking it out over the last week and planning the R & R.
Boy, I remember when R&R meant rest and relaxation.
