[W126 Coupe] headlight stalk

[Axel Wulff]

I think you are out of luck there...

The unit is one-piece and not serviceable. You could always try the contact 
spray and see if it will work, but I'm afraid the switch is worn out and 
needs to be replaced.

It is not too hard to replace, but I think you'll want to remove the 
steering wheel and shroud to get access to the part. The part itself I think 
is about $200 new, or whatever you can get it for on ebay.
