sort of back on topic. 300SD is anthracite grey...I can drive fairly well by looking only at the reflection of everything on the hood...I'm trying to imagine a situation where this would be important. Chris

You need to turn the steering wheel to relieve the binding. Most of the time this is because after he ign it turned off, the wheel is turned and you hear the clunk of the lock bolt sliding in place. If the wheel is not touched, after the ign is turned off, the bolt will not seat unless the wheel is at center. If the wheel is not at center, the bolt does not seat in the column, and the key should be easy to turn. The electrical switch screws to the back of the steering lock. It too can jam, but that is rare. On diesels the electrical switch is combined with a vacuum switch. If you mess with it, mark which vacuum line goes where. If you reverse the vacuum lines, you have problems. You can leave the switch out of the steering lock and run the car with a big screwdriver as a key until you are sure what is going on. the wider the blade, the better. If the ign lock jams, the only recourse is to drill out the alignment pin on the steering lock, and it is not fun or pretty. It will cost you $100 to 1000 depending on if you do it yourself or send it to a dealer. Loren At 01:48 AM 2/28/2006, you wrote: >Very good. > >But what is the Switch that you refer to?
