Hi all,
Over the last few weeks I've been having some real problems with my 1998 Mercedes C250. it's Automatic.
every morning when I put the key in the ignition (it's one of the electric type keys with an infrared sensor on the bottom and not the old type metal key)
Well when I put the key into the ignition I hear a really sort of lazy sound, like electrical whining and the key will not turn. I think something is getting stuck and jammed into position maybe so I've been having to bang under the steering wheel a few times whilst inserting the key to get the ignition to turn.
When I arrive at work the ignition is back to making its normal release and unrelase sound when the key is inserted or removed.
by 5pm and it's time to go home I have all the ignition problems again.
I've sprayed WD40 into the ignition and that hasn't helped.
Does anyone know of this problem and a way to fix it at all? how do I gain access to the ignition?
Many thanks
