... he is seeking a European source
--dick
I could complicate it further as I'm a Canadian.
A very sharp American EE friend advises me, " Limit switch is clearly of German design".
So the reason for posting here, as Dick states, is I'm hoping someone in Germany or surrounds will recognize the switch.
I don't care where I source it, I'm just trying to find a replacement limit switch to fit the door lock. I did not expect that the locks would be year or model specific, but I could imagine the design components MIGHT fluctuate every few years. And very likely a US manufacturer might make a comparable switch, but I don't have the resources here to find it.
It's not rocket technology, but the space available in the lock assembly does not allow a larger microswitch to be fitted.
I suspect there are a lot of Sprinters out there with faulty microswitches which could be replaced if a source were known.
