So I decided I'm not going to drill through a new part or drill out 2 bolts. I don't have a drill press to drill that accurate of a hole. What a lousy design, leave it to the Germans to make it impossible to work on a car.
A friend recommended just installing a push button switch to bypass the entire ignition assembly. So I found the wiring harness wire colors on this site. I bought a $20 switch and mounted it in one of the spare spots on the dash left of the steering wheel. They I spliced the alligator clips into the wiring harness and the car won't start. The diagram says the starter is red/black stripe and the 12v always on is black/yellow stripe. Anyone know if these wire colors are correct?
It starts right up if I run a jumper from the connector on the firewall with the same red/black stripe wire to the battery.
