Hello. Did write one thread but its missing?
Having problems with my Sprinter 316 2003.
Yesterday I was going for a ride, put the key in and turned it to start.
But it didnt start, the starter did just spin full speed (solenoid not activated?), it still did spin when i turned out the key so I was forced to remove the battery cables. After a awhile a did put the cables back, and when I put on the last cable the starter starts to spin full spin (dont runs engine, only starter runs). Alot of times I tryed.
Did turn on and out the key alot if it was something there but didnt make any change.
Also tryed with the spare key.
Did let it stand for the night, then the steering wheel lock started to give trouble after the night. It never troubled before.
Couldnt turn the key to get the steering wheel lock out. Yes I turned the steering wheel and did try "everything". Did spray some 5-56 in keyhole, after much rattle and tryes I could turn the key and get the steering wheel lock out.
Then towed it to a garage, did some more 5-56 in the keyhole and I could turn the key, but it's need to be rattled and with the right "technique" I could turn the key.
Put on the batterycables, and starter didnt start.
Then I could start the car. Alot of times without problem. But still the key need to be rattled and takes some time to be possible to turn it, sometimes faster then other times.
So what do I do? Same thing with the starter happend about one year ago, put off the battery, and after 30min it was ok. Never been anyting after until now.
Do I change the electric ignition switch on the backside? Becuse the starter did get the startsignal but not the solenoid?
Or the key with the lock cylinder?
If I buy one used ignition with key, do the key need to be programmed to my car? Or could I tape the original key where the ir (?) feels the key? And I use the used ignition with key I buy used?
Dont wanna be stranded along way from home...
