C180 - Key will not turn in ignition

[MKC]

I have a C180 Compressor (estate) with the electronic key - the remote part works, but it will not turn in the ignition - I removed & charged the battery (off for a few days). do i need to reset or reprogram anything ?

Try wiggling the steering wheel while you turn the key

Ignition switch is probably knackered.

You will need to get it recovered to a dealer for repair.

As BlackC55 more than likely need a new switch. You could try to see if it will re set by disconnecting the battery for 10 mins, with the key out
