2001 ml 320
Happy new year all
I apologize if this has been brought up before.
When I went out to start the the suv the key broke. The car was not turned over and never taken out of park at that time
My key broke inside the ignition and I can't get it out. I am unable to turn the key with the stub.
can anyone recommend a tool or process?
My battery is dead and I was told that it would not allow the key to be taken out due to a safety feature,Is this true?
Please if anyone knows a way to remove the tumbler it would be greatly appreciated..once again it cannot be turned at all.
Any place online I can order from?
Thank you in advance

Buy a Broken Key Extractor kit and have a go at it yourself. It is not that difficult.

Please post a photo of the remote with the remaining broken key.
How did this key break? Was your steering wheel locked and you forced the turning of the key?
There is only two ways that the remaining key can be inserted. Have you tried inserting the key both ways?

Good Day,
I have am having difficulty attaching the pics...i will try to change the format and paste.
There is aprox half an inch left
i have tried to insert different ways no luck....it is hard seeing the remaing piece inside.
so it had a tiny crack at the breaking point...i didnt think it would snap as it never had befor and i put it in as i regularly do,,no force and when i tried to turn it..it snapped..no force at all...minimal

thank you
I tried but no luck
I may need to remove the tumbler but unsure which. Tool would work
plus some sites indicate that the key needs to be turned to. One position
I can't do this
Ps I ordered the extraction tool thanks for advice

You better try hard with the extraction tool because you will have to change the tumbler and the housing and it isn't easy .
