Make sure the shifter is all the way in park and then try if this still does not work try putting the car in nuetral and try you will probably have to use the release switch on the center console it will be in a little square tab that pops out.

Mercedes benz c240 2003 car cannot start ignition

Try checking the key reader it's usually a plastic ring around the key barrel. If it's dies will not read code in key to enable the car to start. Check your key is sending a code as well.

I cant turn the ignition or move the steering wheel on my 2003 nissan altima. When I insert the key I get the usual sound but I cant turn the key at all, and the steering wheel seems like its stuck.

i think there is a ignition problem , might try replacing it , of course you cant turn the steering if the key wont turn , its a theft prevention device.

if you turned the key with the ignition with the imobilizer, you now have to get the right ignition and a new PCM because the PCM now thinks the car has SKIM (imobilizer)

I put the key in the ignition and turn it forward i see my lights come on and radio comes on but when i try to turn key to start the car it wont turn

The solution lies in the interlock with the shift linkage. Make sure the transmission and therefore the shift colomn make it into park or neutral.

Ignition key wont turn

Make sure car is in park then try moving ignition switch back towards you and then forward as if trying to start it. That seemed to work for our 86 Dodge 600 auto.
