Re: [MBZ] 79 300SD W116 - the dreaded "key won't turn" situation

Sorry, I gave a rather confusing account. There are 3 positions: 1 - Off and steering lock 2 - Accessories 3 - Run The key turns about halfway to the first detent (position 2), but not nearly far enough to push in the wire and extricate the cylinder. D. On 7/15/19, Max Dillon wrote: > >I don't

[MBZ] 79 300SD W116 - the dreaded "key won't turn" situation

The key will no longer turn much past the first detent on my 1979 300SD W116. Alas, this situation arose without warning near the end of a long day trip. Fortunately the steering is unlocked if the key will turn at all, so I managed to get the car started by disconnecting the vacuum shutoff lin
