I had this problem that was intermittant on my 1992 300E. after alot of searching, they discovered it was a crankcase sensor that was broken. does not show up on computer. it only happened when the engine was warm. the car would shut off after i had driven it 10 miles and would not restart till it cooled down. ANSWER 2 I think you will need to give LOT more information than this. Dead battery, corrosion built up on battery terminals, dead fuel pump, bad sensor, blown fuse, blown wiring, corroded wiring, bad distributor, bad spark plugs, out of gas, clogged fuel injectors, blown motor, dead cat caught in your belts, packrat taken up residence in your crank case, you ran it with no oil and it has seized up, I mean I could really go on and on. Please give specifics.
It is usually the seat belt buckle portion of your seat belt, the part secured to the floor or seat of the car but you will need to check this out with a local independent shop that has a scan tool to read this.

disconnect the battery first remove the horn cover use a 10 mm Allen 3/8's drive and remove the steering wheele its very tight the steering wheele will slide off without a puller remove the 3 screws holding the blinker/cruse switch housing in unplug them under the dash on the left side of the steering shaft. slide the steering shaft cover housing off and set aside insert the key turn it to the on position and now you can remove the hole ignition housing from the steering shaft if only trying to change the ignition and not the housing insert the key turn it to on and unscrew the outside of the housing and then pull it out then remove the the tumbler housing

The lights that light up your gauges. . . I don't think those are the lights being asked about. More likely you are inquiring about the service and warning lights.
What do you hope to achieve by rewiring them? Are they not working, or you want them to work differently, or???
this is sooo easy.use the trip odmomiter knob but instead pushing it to reset to "0" turn it either to adjust lights
Usually, for service lights, you have to take it to the dealer, and they can turn it off with their systems
To change the fog light on the Mercedes 300E you have the hardest part of the job complete. Now all you have to do is unplug the lightbulb from the wires that you see, install the new bulb and put the cover back on.

They tend to freeze up after 200,000 miles or so. We had our '87's replaced a few years ago at the dealership for approximately $600.
I can only tell you that the same thing happened on my 83 300D. The ingnition was just worn out. The ignition is encased in hardened steel and it cost over $700 to replace Is it as simple as the wheels are cramped and binding the steering wheel?
