Lost keys lost the keys and trying to replace ignition can not get out old one

Using the VIN # A dealer can make a new key for the original ignition for cars up to ten years old. To make a replacement work You need the transponder from the replacement ignition setup

it would be cheaper to have a locksmith make a key to fit your old ignition lock. I dont know why you didnt do that, before ordering a lock cylinder. Nothing on a MB is cheap. the key is the cheapest thing there is.

You can replace the ignition switch.

When ur keycan be pulled out even when ur running the engine or in the"ON" position. U have to replace ur old key or try to use ur spare key and see if it will come out of the ignition switch!

If it can't be pull out, the problem would be the ignition switch have to be replace, 'cause of eroded copper/brass pins inside the switch!
The problem of ignition switch key pull out would be the weight of other things attached to ur key chain! The vibration when ur running and many times u inserted the key, have lost the LUBRiCANT inside.Minimise the WEIGHT of ur key chain so that in the future the ignition key will not have any problem!
Hope that helps u out!

if im not mistaken your colum behind your wheel comes apart in 2 peices...after thast you will see 2 or 3 screws around the ignition switch go from there

Go to the dealer with the VIN and they can cut a new key to fit the original cylinder.

get a key made from a locksmith

You must get a new ignition at dealer, then your dealer will have to program the key it will never start without that chip..

be for you replace ignition key. try going to a ford dealer.bring your reg and see if they can punch a key out for you. if not try to find a lock smith to make a key.if no luck you can replace it the switch cost about $25.00

The best thing you can do is to probably make him work a few odd jobs to start paying you back for the $75 it's probably going to cost to have a locksmith come out to re-key the ignition cylinder. Without the original key, you can't even remove the old ignition cylinder to replace it with an aftermarket one, so a locksmith is probably the best way to go. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that's about all you can do at this point, shy of replacing the entire steering column, or trying to break the existing cylinder so that you can replace it with a new one. Hope this has proven useful. Try to have yourself a nice evening!

Oh yeah...don't be too hard on him. I lost the keys to my '85 Nissan 300ZX Turbo 3 times before I finally learned my lesson. Kids will be kids...but I'd still make him pay for it...lol.
