Re: [MBZ] Wanted: W140 LH Door Latch
Can you disassemble the actual switch? I have fixed microswitches before. Severe burning and melting, not so much, but this isn't a high-powered application. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] Wanted: W140 LH Door Latch
I have to pretty much disassemble the door and go through some wrist shredding gyrations a 'la 108/114 heater blower motor replacement to get at it. I don't want to do it without having a contingency plan..., Dan On Sep 17, 2013, at 10:49 AM, Jim Cathey j...@windwireless.net wrote: Can you disassemble the actual switch?

I have used that to find cars that might have what I need then drive there. Some if them are hit and miss as far as dealing with people over the Internet or phone and shipping. Some of them have an entire shipping dept and ship stuff all the time.

Re: [MBZ] Wanted: W140 LH Door Latch
I would think that a micro switch is a generic electronic part that could be sourced from one of the good online sources for less than $5??

I most likely have one but I am not sure exactly what part you are talking about as I have not had that area of a 140 apart before.

Re: [MBZ] Wanted: W140 LH Door Latch
I wish. It is engineered in to the door latch mechanism and associated wiring harness. There is some really funky linkage it interacts with in order to tell the closing assist system when the door is ajar. I have been a controls guy for many decades, and my area of expertise was in electromechanical controls, so I know microswitches. If there was a way I could use a stock or generic microswitch, believe me, I would. That's why I'm looking for a left hand door latch assembly from a W140. They all used the same microswitch. Just doing a cursory search shows that complete door latch assemblies are going for between $40 and $70 used in places like FleaBay and other online venues. A small price to pay compared to the cost of a new microswitch.
