My w124 has lost its 5th gear, and the cruise control has also stopped working (Not bothered by the cruise control, but they may be connected).
I've removed the micro switch from the gear shifter and it appears to be working. Continuity tests ok between the 2 pins, and continuity breaks when the switch is depressed.
Could it still be the switch at fault? is it worth replacing just in case?
What else should I be checking?
The tranny fluid is long overdue a change, but I'm holding back in case there is something to investigate (Valve body??) while the tranny pan is off.
Any help much appreciated.
