Question I recently acquired a 1984 190e gas 2.3. The ignition switch when you turn it to the start has no spring tension to return to the original position. How do i repair it. do i have to take the dash apart. Is there a spring broken inside or something.
Regards
Answer Greetings! And sorry for your problem. This is not an easy task. Drop the lower dash cover, Then turn your ignition to the number 1 position, Then unplug the wiring harness. There will be three little screws that holds in the electrical part, Whick holds the tension on the switch. You will need a special small straight screwdriiver or modified driver to do this. It will need to be a short straiight screwdriver with about a inch and a half shaft on it. When you get thiis out and get your new electrical part, Turn the electrical part to thhe number 1 pos also and then install. Thanks and let me know if i can help you further. Good Luck and try to stay cool when doing this project. You have to have a good patience to perform this task. Thanks, Rick
