I know of NO reliable repair except to replace the switch. Not sure 
about 123s, but there are three different switches used on 201s (and 
they were NOT interchangeable).

I had the same problem recently with my 190D. I finally had to replace 
the whole switch--couldn't figure out a way to repair it. Kind of a 
pain in the 190, since you have to remove the steering wheel, with the 
airbag in it.

[MBZ] Broken cruise control handle

2005-10-20 Thread Anthony Galioto
My cruise control handle/lever came cleanly out of the switch. I tried
putting it back with JB Weld. That held for about 10 pulls on the lever then
came out with the JB attached. It came cleanly off the lever and did not
remain in the switch. It als came off the lever with my nail. Is there
anything that can hold the two parts together and withstand the movement of
the lever? Does anyone have any experience with this problem?
