Is the car not recognizing the key? Does the car have power?

Do you have a bunch of shit on your key chain? In other words, is your keychain heavy? A mechanic I know said that they see this problem with these new keys because the weight of the chain pulls the rear of the key downward and wears down the tumblers or whatever inside the ignition switch. And the car can't read the computer chip in the key. His advise was to only keep the car key and maybe an house key on the same ring.

On high line vehicles it costs a ton when the car loses the code for key recognition because you have to reprogram the computer AND the key. A lot of times a new key has to be ordered and if your Mercedes is relatively new at all they will either be a reverse cut key or a proximity key. LOTS of cash.

Yeah, forget that fancy stuff. When I want my car to fire up, I just get out and crank start that bitch. :popeye:

Call a locksmith, most of those guys can reprogram keys /FOB's for a 1/10 of the price that the dealer charges.

Idon't have a solution to your problem. But just don't feel so bad paying $500 for a water pump. Thanks. You made my day better.
