How to Fix a Mercedes Ignition Key That Won't WorkOne of the most stressful issues to face when you own a Mercedes is the ignition key that doesn't work. It could also be a sign of other issues.There are three primary causes for Mercedes Benz ignition key problems. These are a bent key cable, loose cables, and malfunctioning electronic switches.Loose CableLoose cables could cause your mercedes ignition key to be stuck in place. This issue can be resolved by tightening the cable around the shifter.Make sure that the nut at the end of the cable that connects to the shifter is tightened so that the wire doesn't sag. This is crucially important if you drive your Mercedes with the gear in park, because this can cause the shifter to move the cable by a sixteenth of an inch or so, which may result in your key getting caught.The loose cable may cause the steering wheel lock to get stuck. This is a critical security feature of your Mercedes. It helps prevent thieves from pushing the car away, or using the steering wheel to steer it without a key.The ignition switch on a Mercedes can also wear out and need to replaced.

You can bring your Mercedes in for repair or buy a new OEM Mercedes ignition button.Certain ignition keys from Mercedes can get stuck even when the car's in park. This is a typical issue in older Mercedes models and is usually caused by a loose cable connecting the locking mechanism inside your ignition assembly to the shifter.If you have a key that's locked in its place, try a jump start to see if this solves the problem. This is a good way to test the battery and it's a simple and cost-effective solution.There are several other reasons that your mercedes ignition keys may not be turning but the most common is a dead battery.

As the key is turned it triggers various systems. The first position activates electrical components, the second will power the ignition and fuel systems, and the final cranks the engine.Each ignition key for mercedes is unique. When you insert the key into the ignition of your car the electronic switch checks that it's genuine. If it's valid it sends signals to the steering lock (if your car has one) and other computer components to unlock the door. This is a great way to help you start your vehicle quickly and easilyeven if you lose your keys, you can still gain entry and exit without difficulty.But, as much as we love the convenience of our ignition switches, they can also cause problems on the road.

This is where you should check for warning lights on the dashboard. The lights are usually activated when you press the ignition button. They then dim once your car is started.In other situations, the dashboard lights remain dark after you move your key to the "on' position. This is due to the fact that the ignition switch temporarily provides power to the fuel pumpand ignition systems, and other systems when the key is switched to "on". However it will shut off power when the key is removed.If you're experiencing any of these problems, the best option is to seek the advice of an auto mechanic. A professional can tell you whether the switch is defective and what steps you should take to repair it.Locking the Steering WheelMercedes ignition keys come with an anti-theft feature. If someone attempts to steal your car and manages to move the steering wheel while you're not there it will trigger the locking mechanism on the steering wheel and stop the vehicle from moving.This safety measure is designed to protect you and your family from harm in a crime. It also prevents thieves from stealing your car.However, sometimes the lock won't unlock or it could be stuck in a locked position. It can happen for a number of reasons, such as damaged or worn-out ignition tumblers.

In some cases, the tumbler will simply get worn out and requires replacement. In other cases, it could not be able to engage the electronic ignition switch.One of the main indications that the Mercedes ignition lock tumbler is faulty is that it will not turn to the correct position. If this occurs, it can be frustrating as you could be fighting with the lock for a long time before you can get the car running.A malfunctioning ignition lock tumbler could cause the key to become jammed or completely block when it is in the lock.
