Is your battery dead??

**ThrillKill** · 09-16-2005, 12:28 AM

No I have lights. you know when you put the key in the ignition and it makes that sound, then you can turn the key? I dont get anything cant turn the key and the anti tow light is blinking. I crossed the wires also, do you know where the ignition fuse is?

Looks like N73 in the driver side fuse panel controls the electronic ignition starter switch control module. I HOPE for you, that this is what the problem. is.

Actually, there is another one in the passenger side fuse box of the engine compartment.

P.S. I would take the car to a professional.

Before you go to a pro, just check the fuses.

FACK!!! $782 for a new ignition. Let's hope that is all it is!! My wifes gonna beat my ass.

I called them back and asked, for that chunk of change would they put in the other sill and they agreed....a little sumpm sumpm.

Also they're gonna change my harmonic balancer while it's there. She told me if anyone replaced this on their own, MB will reimburse the cost. Does anyone know if I can claim this on my insurance? and with a $500 deductable would it be worth it?

How do I get reimbursed? I need a receipt right?
