The back-up light switch is incorporated into the neutral/park safety switch. The neutral safety switch on 1988-94 models is mounted in the steering column.
when it wont start, turn your headlights on, see if they work if they dont, find out why. When it wont start, take a wire from the positive battery terminal and touch it to the small post on the starter solenoid, it should crank. If it now cranks, theres a problem between the ign switch and the starter solenoid.
Most likely culprit is the headlight relay under the screwed down cover on the fuse box. It is spendy but if you can find a used one in any W124 or W126 body style mercedes they are the same. it controls all lights as it also controls the bulb out indicator. The neutral safety switch would not allow your car to start if the lights wouldnt come on. Also replace all aluminum type fuses with newer copper barrel type fuses to get rid of any electrical gremlins due to corrosion.
