| Description of the problem | When i've got to the car, put the key in the ignition, and turn the key with no crank noise in the engine. After a lot of tries i had noticed that my steering was not unlocking, windows don't work no lights on like abs, check engine or all the lights that come on with the key on the on position, and that the car would not shift in neutral. After trying to jump the car and rearming/disarming the alarm i checked on line and found out that a lot of people have the same problem with their mercedes. Here is what i experienced 1. Put key into ignition, steering wheel doesn't unlock. 2. Instument cluster displays "remove key from ignition". 3. Turn key to accessory, no lights on dashboard, only the radio works, windows don't work. 4. Turn key all the way to start car, nothing happens. |
