Hi there,
Here are some possible common reasons why your 2000 Mercedes Benz C240 key might not turn on and potential solutions:
1. Make sure the steering wheel is not locked. Try turning the steering wheel slightly back and forth while gently pushing the key into the ignition.
2. Replace the faulty ignition switch. If the key is turning freely but not engaging the starter, a bad switch might be the culprit.
3. There are times when the ignition cylinder can get dirty or sticky. Try using a small amount of graphite-based lubricant (not W-40) in the ignition. Insert and remove the key a few times to spread the lubricant.
4. A weak or dead battery can prevent the key from turning. Use a voltmeter to measure the battery voltage. The multimeter display should show a reading of 12.2 to 12.6 volts, indicating a full charge.
I hope these details will help in any way. You can (always) consult your trusted auto repair shop or mechanic for diagnostic and troubleshooting.
