| Description of the problem | So my 2009 c300 out of nowhere decides not to turn on when i put the key into the ignition. The key unlocks the doors and the instrument panel information comes on. However, the windows will not roll up or down. The glove compartment light will not turn on and the car will not start. Initially, i tried my spare key fob (that i never use) and it did turn the engine on and i drove the car around for about 45 minutes thinking it was a battery issue. However, the moment i parked my car and turned the engine off, same problem. It would not start now with either key in the ignition. Apparently this is happening to a lot of owners with this model and year, all within this past quarter of 2015. What's going on? |
