You may have a failed solenoid on the starter if you turn the key to start the engine.

I forget whether the headlight shut off when starting as it does on 1986+ or 1989+ 240. I guess not on 1994 US market 940.

Here some wiring diagrams. Mitchell service wiring diagrams:

However, the voltages you list are low. A charged, connected battery should show around 12.5-13.5 DC volts with key out.

The starter may have failed. So to a new Bosch or rebuilt by Bosch Bosch starter! Removing the starter motor can be a bother so replace with new or Bosch rebuilt.

The fault could be in the ignition switch connected to the ignition lock. Use the lightest keychain possible. Do not add a bunch of stuff to weigh a key chain down. You can test continuity through the ignition switch but to get into the 900 series dash is a pain sort of.

Also, when using the HREF or img src=, use the width= to 900 pixels in width.

I guess BrickPix remains on the fritz. The images are still there and you can link to them. The image do not display in the BrickPix pages here.

Hope that helps.
