Can you turn the wheel slightly while trying the key?
Testimonial: "No the key won't turn in the ingnition I tried tapping the key while in the ingnition I tried wiggleing the key as soon as I opeen the door the alarm just gos of after about 30 sec it gos off by it self...what else can I do this has never happened"

The steering locks don't necessarily engage when the key is removed, I always turn the wheel before exiting to engage it. There are several positions that will allow the pin to lock in but if between these, it may seem that it isn't locked.

The Alarm on my Mercedes ML320 sounded every night, then it started doing it more often, Showed it to the dealer he says it's the 'Tow Sensor', that needs to be repaced. $700, down the drain. I have already started hating this car, it eats $500-600, every 6 months...

Hi what is happening is that your turn off your car and left the wheels turned to one side and specially if your car is parke in a hill what you have to do is to force the steering wheel to the same direction of your wheels this will free up the ignition switch it is going to be hard let me tell you but it will work and this is why your shift don't work once you have the ignition switch free then your shift will work again

<Have heard that putting key into ignition in 'on' position and waiting
sixty seconds for alarm to go off, then turning key off and back on
will disable alarm. Haven't tried it yet.>
rweh is correct! Thank you! It worked for me!
