I did option 1 since that is the way I took it out, and option 2 looked like an added degree of difficulty. The tip for pushing the pin down was great. Thanks for both videos, they saved me a ton of money.
Excellent video…will definitely help a lot of people! I currently have the same issue with my MB slk230. What’s difficult for me is, my key won’t turn at all. Not sure how to remove if the key won’t budge
@@FixCarYourself so what I ended up doing is drilling out the push pin on the ignition lock that holds onto the steering, after drilling out the pin, i was able to remove the complete ignition like u did in your video. Then basically follow our video by drilling out the other silver piece, then was able to turn the ignition. It's working now. I repaired the tumbler, because I wanted to use the same key. But your video gave me the extra Balls to do it🙂
@@FixCarYourselfIch habe das gleiche Problem. Mein Schlüssel läßt sich nicht mehr drehen, nicht einmal in Position 1. Ich frage mich ob die Feder & das Metallteil eine Aufgabe haben, & wenn sie nicht mehr da sind es irgendwann wieder Probleme gibt.? Tolles Video. 👍👍👍
Thankyou for posting this Ill be doing this on my crossfire in the next couple of days. I'm just curious what the function of the piece you removed was and does removing have any negative effect on the car or steering lock
It does not effect the car or steering lock one bit. I think that piece just allowed the ability of the key to turn slower in stages. The point of trying to emphasize is slower. The key will still turn in stages but now it just feels smoother and quicker to turn the key to the eventual On position. Hope this kinda makes sense.
I'm really not sure. Its a good thought, but that depends on if the key gets programmed anywhere else other than the ignition switch assembly which I do not know... So if you got a key from another vehicle AND the ignition of that car....maybe it would work. If you do this please let us all know.

Ok great I'm glad it worked out for you after all. Best of all, you saved money and did it yourself!!! GREAT JOB!!!

Nice. I'm really glad you got it fixed, and thought outside of the box. Great job!
👀 See how to REMOVE (Part 1) of the Key 🔑Assembly here: 👉👉 th-cam.com/video/2C6WC1yHM7c/w-d-xo.html
What did you do to the piece you took out ( the small metal piece, spring and the little clamp, of the assembly?
Did you clean it , replace it,
Neither. Those pieces are not necessary anymore and serve no beneficial function. I think I put them with my mixed jar of screws.

Tolles Video. 👍👍👍
Did you figure out the problem.
I used option #1. But my electrical connection was easy pulled out in the first place.
Good to know! Hoping to get more feedback from others. Maybe they'll engineer the vehicles better in the future in certain areas.

@@FixCarYourself I believe I understand what you mean thank you for replying
I lost my key ..can I replace the ignition switch with another one and another key
