On my 79 TD, the LP switch (if I remember right) is down low on the left
on the refrigerant pipe, I think there is a fitting there with the
referenced device, and a wire(s) coming out of it. I think it traces
back to the compressor. It is fairly easy to get at, and to see if it
is open/closed with an ohmeter. I recall that testing this device and
jumping it was how I determined that my system was actually working and
that it was low refrigerant that was keeping it from working (contrary
to what the former owner/Benz mech told me). Alas, a gas leak kept it
from working for more than a day after I put some more in it.

Thanks Joe!
So, is it possible that the compressor clutch is always engaged whenever the
key is switched on, due to a faulty low pressure switch or compressor
relay? Remember, this system presently has no refrigerant, so I assume the
compressor shouldn't be allowed to operate--correct? Anyone know where the
low pressure switch and/or relay reside on an '84 300D?
