hello all,
well it had to happen after a year and a bit of MB ownership my clk has let me down. on a plus note i've done 350 miles this weekend and it waited untill i got home to play-up so im not swearing at it yet...on to my probs
the key will not turn. the steering does not unlock.
the dash milage and clock ect lights up when you put the key in
i thought that was good but it does the same if you push a pencil in the 'keyhole'
i used the search function on here and have tried the mobile phone camera trick pointing the key at the phone produced the blueish ir light on all three functions
the car locks, unlocks, and opens the boot from the keyfob it also works from a couple of car-lenghts away.
the car battery is ok as i connected another and it made no difference
(i thought it needed a jump start at first)
im going to get some new batteries for the remote anyway and have a general prod about under the column if it stops raining.
any more ideas for simple fix or any ideas on what may be wrong?
it would be nice if there was a fuse that only powered the steering lock but i doubt it!
anyhoo any helpful comments chaps?
