You will be removing and determine the problem before you have a bigger problem. Thanks for reminding me that I need to get the one off the parts car and into safe storage.

85SD 240K & stopped counting painted, putting bac together. 84SD 180,000. sold to a neighbor and member here but I forget his handle. The 84 is much improved from when I had it. 85TD beginning to repair to DD status. Lots of stuff to do.

Would be frustrating to see a nice bone yard W123 and want to get at the ignition/steering lock switch. Would be old but you could at least experiment with rebuilding it. Not sure how you would get it out w/o the key.

Kent offers rebuilt units for $375.
