on my 85 300SD, the high beam comes on intermittently when i press the windshield washer switch. I need to remove and repair the turn signal switch assembly but can't figure out how to remove the cover over the steering column. Any suggestions?

On all my 123 series chassis cars, the cover for the turn signal just pulls away, exposing the turnsignal and the cruise control switch.

2-4 screws hold the turn signal assembly on. Then you will have to unplug it under the drivers side panel. Then the switch assembly should pull free.

I believe to get to the turn signal switch, you need to remove the steering wheel.

Gasman, that is correct, pull the horn pad away from the wheel and it will come off, then remove bolt holding the wheel, remove wheel and the switch and wireing is exposed. This is on my 83sd, steve

I need to do the combination switch on the SDL. I've confirmed, after two hours of troubleshooting and taking half the dash apart, that the switch is bad and will not power the washers.

Now, the SDL has the driver's airbag. Has anyone removed the airbag and the wheel from a W126? I sure don't want to experiment with that.

Remove wheel...
Take screws out

Now you have access to the combo switch. If you need any parts, let me know, I have a full setup with a bad turn signal cancel that you are welcome to rob parts off of.
