KEYFOB wont turn in ignition

[Chas]

My friend has a 2000 E CLASS KOMPRESSOR.

The key he uses all the time works fine.The spare key opens the doors ok but when he puts it in the ignition it won't turn !

Any ideas folks

cheers

It could be the brake light switch,its a listed fault, but more than likely it will be the DAS ignition switch

Thanks Malcolm.

I should have said the other key he uses all the time is ok , it's just the spare key that wont turn in the ignition

I think you seem to be having the same problem a friend of mine had on his 1999 W210:

Chances are your gonna need to buy a new key !

OK then no question about it the DAS section has failed on the old key, a new one at £150 is the only way

The only snag would be that the key has to be ordered,so they would take away the car
