I have aquired an '85 300SD. The electrical issues are many but I'm wondering how many might be linked to a bad key switch. Currently, the car is configured to start with a set of wires that come into the cabin.

1. No guages work
2. Headlights blink on and off with the battery cables on the battery. Must disconnect the negative battery cable just to preserve the charge
3. Key switch turns off the car
4. No blinkers work
5. The hazzards work
6. The radio works
7. the blower motor doesn't work

How many of these can be traced to the interrupt of current because of the bad key switch?

Thanks

Don
