The ignition key in my '91 Mercedes 300E is stuck and i cant get it out or turn on the car.

I cant seem to get the key to where i can take it out or get the key to start the car. was wondering if there was maybe a trick to get it out. it did this three times except the third time the key wouldn't come out other times we started it and drove away. had to tow the car home where we still cant get the key out. it is a much needed car.

SOURCE: MY WILL NOT START THE CAR C240 MERCEDES BATTERY IS NOT DEAD

I am assuming that the engine won't even turn over. could be lots of different things. The simplist is to make sure the car in in PARK , won't start if not. Other things could be , Security imobilizer if you have one. Does your key have a electronic chip in it ? Try your other set of keys if you have one. Check if battery connections are clean and tight.

SOURCE: cold start problem on ml270

Hello,
I had a similar problem. Would take 5-6 attempts to start of a morning when cold. It was caused by air in the fuel lines. Once the fuel line seals were replaced problem went away.

SOURCE: mercedes c200 sport ignition key will not turn in

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.

Key stuck in ignition of 1993 300e

The entire key hub will have to be replaced - it's a long and delicate job, only highly trained people should do it. Select a repair shop carefully, bad ones will do a lot of expensive damage trying to fix this.

What are the schematics for wirinig an ignition for a 1991 300e mercedes benz? I am not sure what wire goes where when wiring my ignition

  1. The following fuses can cause the car not to start. Check and Replace fuses B, 5 and 6 and 7.
  2. Check the power to the neutral safety switch. When the ignition switch is activated there is no power to the neutral safety switch. Power to the neutral safety switch comes from the ignition switch on the violet wire. If there is no power at the violet wire when the key turns to start, the ignition switch is probably bad or there is a problem with the wiring to the switch.

I have a 1991 300e merecedes and i drove it all week no problem now i cannot get the key to turn in the ignition i tried moving the steering wheel jiggling the shifter and moving the key around even...

when locksets start wearing out sometimes the key will only start the car with a certain side up. also you can try tapping the key when it is in and see if that works. It's probably time for a new lockset and key
