I tried to crank up my 300D turbo in my 240d today. All electrical seems to be 100 percent but it won't crank. So I went back to the switch that I had a lot of problems getting apart when I got the car and the ignition switch was really messed up. I had a heck of a job getting the loom out of the back of that old switch. Now I have a new lock and key, new ignition switch body, but I can't get the plug to lock up on this new one. I thought I had it locked in, but after it wouldn't crank, I went back and pulled on the plug in part in the rear of the ignition switch body and it came right out. Well, I will take it apart again and with the paper clip to hold the piece down, try to get it to lock. Any other ideas.
