On my '95 cabriolet, I cut apart the lock housing with a Dremel tool, because a thief had pretty much destroyed the ignition lock and no way to get the key to turn.
Once the dash parts around the steering column were removed, and the steering column loosened so it dropped down to grant more access, the body of the lock is pretty soft and I could easily cut it up so as to remove the switch. Replaced steering column, switch, and tumbler. Used parts work fine, except for the tumbler. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
