Sometimes you can unplug the battery and it will help but these cars can be a problem when something's wrong with them 😂😂😂 but they are the best cars though
I fixed it ! Lint, dust, dirt had collected on the inside of the cracked key. After taking it apart I used a Q tip and rubbing alcohol to clean the inside. Haven't had the problem since!
You need TK replace the steering lock motor. The car checks the steering lock before it starts along with other check, immobiliser etc. The lock is located at the bottom of the steering shaft, little tap with a small hammer will get you out of trouble till it totally packs up and you get it replaced
There is a laser inside the key fob that communicates with the ignition switch I had come across that sometimes there is debris inside the key fob blocking the laser, try open the key fob and clean it inside most of the time it fixes the issue.. there are videos of people doing this,, is a very common problem with Mercedes and the old key fob design
Back in 2011 the ignition module died on my 99 c230. It was about 1700 bucks from the stealership to replace. Because the steering wheel was locked the tow truck operator took off the rear wheel and used a "spinner" to spin the rear hub telling the sensor to unlock the steering wheel. It worked, not sure where one gets the spinner device, never seen one before or since, but it would be useful if the steering wheel gets locked up.
Old video, but So weird man. My c280 would do the same for years. My technique was put the key in *slightly turn it while pressing the unlock button. Boom every time lol I guess I never had to worry about someone stealing my car. But It was fixed when the key fob chip went bad and a new one was ordered 🤷🏾♂️
You saved my life you have no idea my damn on a late raining night stuck in the streets car would not start I hit CZcams right away got it started in the first 50 sec cause of ur video saved my buns good sir and to that I say thank you
Press button on key fob while looking at the tip WITH YOUR CELL PHONE. IF LIGHT IS DIFFUSED AND NOT FOCUSED CLEAN THE INSIDE OF KEY FOB USING RUBBING ALCOHOL AND Q-tip
Need help same things happens with my E320, the key wont move at all not even for ignition i need to start my car been sitting at a garage for months, a mechanic came other day he is already talking about $1200 or above to get it fixed.

The EIS Module is going bad. EIS recognizes the right key in the ignition and removes the steering wheel lock. Its that simple.
How did you fix it?

Would it not let you start the vehicle?
