I had a stuck switch on my 300SD. The seat would go back but not forward. As an alternative to having my ankles and wrists surgically extended, I took the switch out and cleaned the contacts with an old can of TV rotary contact cleaner. Remember when TVs had rotary switches? The switch is working again.
I have one that I picked up when I had the ‘87SDL. Pretty sure it’s good. I actually was going to list it on Ebay to thin out these W126 parts I don’t need anymore (picked a horse in the race – the W116 300SD – an am dedicating my life to the OM617. Well that and my wife and kids.)
Ping me offline with your address. I’ll send it and if it works for you, you can decide how much it’s worth.

Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Happy New Year and a parts request
Hey Gang,
First of all, Happy New Year to everyone on the list. May we all have a happy, prosperous, and successful 2011.
And, last night, I adjusted the driver's seat in my 89 W124 (a 260E, admittedly, a gasser) so my wife could drive it and when that ordeal was over, I found that I could not get the seat readjusted to my taste because of a failing switch. I priced new ones at about $115. Would anyone here happen to have a good used unit from which they'd be willing to part for a reasonable sum of $$?Regards,
Ben Pender
