The EIS (Electronic Ignition Switch) is malfunctioning. You will have to replace the EIS and take the car to a dealer to reprogram the keys.

I have a mercedes c200 sport 1999 version my fob key locks and unlocks my doors but for reason the fob key is not turning in my ignition .is this a key problem or is it a ignition problem

I think it's more likely to be a key problem than an igniton problem, but you never know. Make sure there isn't a separate key for the ignition.

My vehicle is a Mercededs C200 compressor yr2002 The key in the ignition is not turning to start the engine as the steering lock is not unlocking. What is the cause and solution?

With your foot on the brake try and move your gearshifter in to the neutral position it may start in nuetral. If not check around the switch some Mercedes have a small safety button that needs to be pushed to remove your key sometimes you can try pushing the button and moving your switch several times and it will unlock. Those are just a few things to try, good luck.

My car mercedes c200 model 1995 problem with door lock it not open with remote .my remote is ok what i do

You need to re-sync it with the car. Open the door with the blade key and insert the key in the ignition. If the ignition light then the key has been reset.
If it does not you need to resit it. Place the key into the ignition, it may not turn at all, thats ok. Press the "LOCK" button on the key 5 times in a row, about a second each press, then press and hold down the "UNLOCK" button for about 15 seconds.
This should reset the key.

Ignition: when switch on the key model W 202 1996

C200?

Is your 2nd key fob giving you the same problem?

Have you change the battery inside the key fob?


Check the mirror for alarm/immobilize indicator.

If you using a dead key fob then alarm system will immobilize the ignition system.

Mercedes 1999 c200 key fob

Hello Haq!
Could it be the key just needs re-coding? maybe you are worrying to much as £177 would be about right as that would need coding etc., Try phoning your local Merc dealer or take the key and V5 to them for coding (Hopefully)
Good Luck!
