If he needs professional help, he can contact Bill T. at C&B Automotive on Chicago Ave in Ft Walton Beach or Gene Hunter AKA Dr. Benz. Also in Ft Walton Beach. Bill fixed my lock cylinder failure about 10 years ago but it cost several hunderd $.
There is also an active MBCA group in that area that may have some ideas. Bill Vickery is the pres and Daryl Bittle is the number 2. Technical: Did the same key operate the doors and ignition before? If so and it works everthing but the ignition, he may have a bad lock (odd coincidence) or the steering wheel lock bar is sticking. Did he have any problems with a sticky lock before? Seems we neen more info here.
