I had the ignition in my 92 300D 2.5T go bad. I went through all the steps to pull the ignition switch with some help from a friend. Well all went well except for one thing. My friend took the electrical connection apart instead of cutting the screws. Now that I’m putting it back together all I have is a bundle of lose wires. I need a diagram or write-up to tell me what order the wires plug into the switch. Can anyone help???

This is semantics but ignition in a Diesel is a byproduct of temperature and pressure, not turning a key in a switch.

The attached image is from the W126 key switch. Might help you decode your W124 key switch.

Thanks for the help, it worked great.

To MB DOC- You Rock ! Thank you so much for the help with the wiring diagram.......This site and the people on it are fantastic. I called 3 MB Dealerships over a period of 3 days and no help but you solved my mishap in 1 hour. Forever grateful....Kenn Muzikmakr9 Washington DC USA

The list of where the wires go in the connector is just what I needed. Thanks very much.
