Most likely, but check your neutral safety switch first once you’ve confirmed
the battery is good. The electrical portion of the ignition switch can be
replaced without having to replace the whole assembly. It’s a bit of a PITA to
do in-frame, but it can be done with an offset screwdriver and so

Well, interesting dissertation. My W126, 300SDL, did leave me FORD once -
due to a faulty factory alarm system that would not let it crank, even with
a jump from another MB Diesel. Had to unplug the alarm system computer to
get the car to move again. IIRC, this group diagnosed the issue for me. So,
I agree completely. This is why I’m concerned about the W220 and want to get
back to a W126 diesel.
