SOURCE: Key stuck in the ignition

Well the radio code is an anti-theft issue. you have to take it to the dealership and they get your VIN number and they will retrieve the serial number to your radio. With that they can look up your code. It will cost at least $75 dollars.

Make sure they connect it back up correctly because then if you live in climates that reach under 20 degrees your radio will shut off. or when hit a bump in the winter your radio will shut off and you have to enter the code everytime it goes off.

I have an '01 montero sport XLS. Battery died and I had to experience this the hard way.

SOURCE: cant get in car to pop hood, dead battery key hole jammed!!

at this point you have 2 options, 1, go to a parts store and get a jimmy kit that helps you break into the car by unlocking the door, whicch sometimes can be tricky or if you have aaa they will unlock it for you for free, 2, you would have to reach from underneath and feel around for the cable, folow it to the latch assembaly and carefully release the latch assembaly, this way wil be very difficult and a tight area.
Good Luck.

All I get is rapid clicking after replacing the starter and the neutral safety switch

surely not done with batter connected, right
or battery reconnected backwards.
clicks key off? no told when or how.
my wild wild guess, battery is dead or simply DIS charged.

I have a 2000 Oldsmobel Intrigue and i changed the battery. Let it set for 15 minets had power until I turned the key

Double check your connections to the battery and also the starter. Be careful at the starter with battery connected you don't want to touch any metal with your wrench while tightening the wires best to disconnect wires to battery then tighten starter positive then reconnect batter terminals.

Charging my mercedies 2001 battery and the car alarm wont stop and i cant turn the key to try and start my car

put key in ignition turn to number 2 and press the fob buttons open close etc. see if that reset system. also if you charged the batter while on the vehicle you can only charge them with a tried and tested charger from mercedes as you can damage the engine management unit and the voltage control module fitted to the vehicle. failing that you will need to remove the negative lead on battery and leave off for an hour or so. and reconnect, the alarm will still go off until its internal battery goes flat ruf 30min or so. when reconnecting battery make sure the doors are all unlocked and boot is unlocked, you also will need the code for the radio and other units that can be in the vehicle from manufacture. if this does not work then you may need another unit to replace before the engine will start again as it has been damaged. when battery connected sit in the vehicle and turn ignition to number 2 and press fob to lock unlock doors then try to start engine if all goes well the engine and alam will not be a problem anymore
