If the lock barrel turns, then it's in as far as it needs to go. Otherwise, if the lock barrel doesn't turn, then it's faulty and needs to be replaced. This can unfortunately, sometimes entail replacing the entire Steering Lock Assembly.
Try moving the steering wheel back and forth. Usually the wheel locks itself when the key is out so the holes become misaligned
i have a Mercedes 1995 e320 and the car wont start i change the starter and it still wont start for the ignition but if i turn the key and then go to the starter it will start i tried putting it in neutral and starting it but still didnt work and there is a loud buzzing noise that's coming from under the hood could it be a relay or ignition i don't know i have a Mercedes 1995 e320 and the car wont start i change the starter and it still wont start for the ignition but if i turn the key and then go to the starter it will start i tried putting it in neutral and starting it but still didnt work and there is a loud buzzing noise that's coming from under the hood could it be a relay or ignition i don't know
Go to dealer, expensive, have to get one through them so key is the same as the original so you don't need two keys, door/ ignition. Tear apart steering column.
you got the wrong key.
u need a new ignition switch
not sure if it's the same on yours but on mine this is what i do. i leave the key in the ignition, i turn the ignition all the way back as far as it will go, tap on the key inwards and then try it again. on mine it's because my keys are worn down, yours might be the same, but it's worth a shot.
when i turn the ignition key i jus hear a click noise coming from the engine. any body have any ideas of what it could be ? and well it wont accelarate and go anywhere .. ?
where the key goes or the whole starting system? if it's where the key goes .does the key go in and turn freely, or is there a hang up, if not it's not the ignition. what is it doing?
It means that you are most likely trying to put the wrong key in the ignition. A slang phrase for male impotence.
change the ignition switch the little black thing on your key is wore down and not making good contact that should fix the problem
I would have the ignition itself replaced. These go out all the time and will leave you stranded. Get a new ignition keyed to your current key and you won't have to do programming. A locksmith can do this for you. Do it soon though before it stops turning.
Could be low battery power. Not enough to start the engine.
