92 300D ignition switch woes
gents,
getting to my actual question will require a brief recitation of history: about a week ago the infamous problem arose of the ignition key getting stuck in 0 position. from the many posts on here as well as diesel giant i was able to dremel out the pin holding the lock cylinder, remove it, cut off the black cap, replace with a new key and tumbler. (benz mechanic assisted in the cutting and putting in new tumbler) mechanic let me borrow a universal lock and tumbler while my mine was being fabricated and delivered. so yesterday morning i took it in to exchange lock and tumbler and drove away feeling as though i'd saved hundreds and learned more than i could have imagined about the dash area of my 124. HOWEVER, i drove from the shop out to a rural location where i'm building a house, and at the end of the day, ready to drive back, the car wouldn't start. granted, i had the radio on for the day, but windows, radio, lights, etc didn't give any indication of battery drain. furthermore, the actual problem seems to be the key won't turn from the 2 to the 3 position. it stops at the accessory position, and won't turn the engine over at all. so after all this explanation, the simple question is, what is going on? quite a heafty tow bill to tow it into town... the odds would seem to indicate the lock cylinder, not having been replaced, might be at fault.? but i didn't want to take it all apart if it is something else i've overlooked. i'm exasperated... thanks in advance for any tidbits.
