intermittent Problems Locking with Remote
Hi all,
This is my first time posting to the forum but I have been reading it for a while.
I have a problem with the remote for locking the car as it seem to work intermittently. I have noticed that if it wont lock, when I try and put the key into the ignition it is a little stiff. When it finally goes in I start the car and then turn it off and remove the key. The car the locks fine.
Is this a problem with the ignition or the key?
From reading some old posts some people have trouble with the ignition switch, which I think is the problem.
Can I put some sort of lubricant in here or could I damage something else?
I might also add that there are two MB dealers close to me and I have had bad experiences with both, therefore I am reluctant to go to a dealer.
I would appricate any comments or suggestions.
