Hello all; thanks for reading this post.
I am in the middle of working on my daughter's 1986 190D. It seems to need a new ignition switch. I have pulled everything apart carefully, although when i disconnected the 7 wires from the ignition switch, they all came out at once and I was unable to determine....well, you know what i mean, it was a mess.
Can anyone tell me which ones go where? The switch reads in a clockwise direction:
30, 50, 15R, P30, 15, 30, 15x

The wires are:
Red, yellow stripe
Red
Red with black or dark blue stripe
Purple
another Red
Red with green stripe
small green

Your help would be SO appreciated. Even if you only know half of the wires that would give me a start. I really don't want to pay a mechanic $800 or so to put all this back together.

Frank.

These are the ones I could find from the schematics, Frank.

15R 2.5 RD/BK
15 2.5 RD/BK to F1 electrical center
30 2.5 RD to F1 electrical center (should be 2 wires)
P30 .75 GN/WT to F1 electrical center
15X 2.5 RD/YL to Fuse 1 in F1 electrical center
50(?) 2.5 VI/WT to F1 electrical center

I hope this helps. Many of these ETM pages are very hard to read.

Hello Steve- Thanks! I was able to put it together and SO FAR, all seems back to normal. Tomorrow I put the dash back together.

PS, I had a 1989 Volvo 240 named Emma. (the Benz 190 is named Peggy)

Thanks Again, Frank
