I broke it when replacing my 300CD's worn out lock and key cylinder, I now have a spare lock assembly complete with key and I'd like to find out how to remove that delicate little switch without damaging it.....
TIA,.

I am stuck describing something that I did not do. When I did mine the steering column lock was broke and I had to replace it so instead of fooling with the the seat belt switch I cut the lip of on one side of the switch. After I removed the switch like that I saw a means it might be removed.
If you look closely at the bottom of each end of the switch you will find that under one side there is a channel in the metal. looking through that channel you need to rotate the switch till the switch plunger is all the way up.
Unseen on the sides of the switch is little plastic rounded hooks made of the same plastic material as the switch body.
What I think would work best to depress those hooks is the old cheap black or brown bobby pins made with flat wire. You need to grease the end up good and shove one of the straight parts on each side of the switch (do that from the side where the electrical connector goes) and the switch is supposed to slide out on the side where you can see the channel under the switch.
The dial up internet I am on does not allow me to post pictures any more.
