My 1978 280sel, has been acting up, to the point where I couldn't get it started.Someone came over looked at it, hooked a wire from the battery to the coil and it started right up, his diagnosis, bad ignition switch. I haven't replaced the switch yet , but the car still runs doggy, can barely make it up the drive when I took it for a test ride with the wire hooked up. I recently replaced the alternator, but I am totally stumped on this one, any help greatly appreciated!! Jim
