What are you trying to fix?

 

[pinoypride619]

i think my ignition my key only turns to the first click so i think my ignition is stuck

So you cannot start the car? I notice you are new to the forum and you just bought this car... congratulations and welcome... unfortunately the new W140 is not being nice to you.

yeah it worked for 2 weeks now it only turns so far don't know what to do

So, you bought the car and it worked for two weeks. You didn't do anything between the last time it worked and the time it didn't work? The key worked one day and the next day it would not turn? Odd.

Usually a little SINGER oil does the trick , poor it over the key not into the ignition barrel .:thumbsup:

The Mercedes part number for the lock cylinder lubricant is 001 989 26 51 10. It's about $15. My local dealer had it in stock. The service manual says to "spray the cylinder with grease" but I think I would follow merc s500's advice and try applying it to the key first. I did that to my wife's C car and it's been fine for years.

You find that Singer oil in any supermarket ,if not ,hardware stores and sewing machine stores have it ,it dosnt cost much but it works wonders with many things .:thumbsup:

 

[pinoypride619]

i called my local dealer and they said they never heard of cylinder lubricant so i'm gonna go find some singer oil any other advise

 

[pinoypride619]

i went and bought the mercedes lubricant but still i cant get the ignition to go past the first position.

Unbelievable...I'm guessing this is not your daily driver to be.

Follow the earlier post and take the cylinder out and try it then.

Personally, I would get it into a shop and get the beast on the road.

yeah i think that what i have to do what does the lights on the rear view mirror mean
