Hi Guys,
Just parked up my 1989 814 Mercedes truck, went to start it five minutes later , but lights up dashboard and then nothing as I turn the key.
No click on the solenoid , just a switch noise coming from the fuse box on the passenger dash.
Any ideas ?
Cheers,
Des

There is a solenoid which permits key release.
If there is insufficient battery voltage to operate this, you wont be able to get the key out. Dont immediately condemn the barrel or key.
Charge batteries to 24v and it should beok.
