If it wont turn over try the neutral safety switch, if it wont start in neutral either the switch most likely needs to be replaced.

Hi there. The reason it only leaks when you turn the car on is because the gas tank is pressurized, but only after the car has had a chance to pressurize the tank (when the car is turned on). To fix this, you need a new gas tank! Alex

My vehicle is a Mercededs C200 compressor yr2002 The key in the ignition is not turning to start the engine as the steering lock is not unlocking. What is the cause and solution?

With your foot on the brake try and move your gearshifter in to the neutral position it may start in nuetral. If not check around the switch some Mercedes have a small safety button that needs to be pushed to remove your key sometimes you can try pushing the button and moving your switch several times and it will unlock. Those are just a few things to try, good luck.

What are the schematics for wirinig an ignition for a 1991 300e mercedes benz? I am not sure what wire goes where when wiring my ignition

  1. The following fuses can cause the car not to start. Check and Replace fuses B, 5 and 6 and 7.
  2. Check the power to the neutral safety switch. When the ignition switch is activated there is no power to the neutral safety switch. Power to the neutral safety switch comes from the ignition switch on the violet wire. If there is no power at the violet wire when the key turns to start, the ignition switch is probably bad or there is a problem with the wiring to the switch.

The switch key is not turning it's in but refused to turn

it sounds like your shift cable is stretched or the safety switch is bad do you normally have to put your foot on the brakes to start and if so try to start but try in neutral and if that doesnt work try and play with the shifter in park push it a little forward and see if it starts if so it is the neutral safety switch/ or adjustment

My 93 jeep cherokee does not start sometimes, I have to play with shifter to engage it, when it does engage I hear a click. Have to put it in neutral sometimes to start.

The neutral safety switch is faulty which would explain why sometimes you have to position it in neutral for it to start.The switch is located on side of the transmission,It has a long wiring harness that runs up near the transmission dipstick tube.U can purchase that switch at advance auto.

1991 Ford F150 Jumps out of 4W drive sometimes in reverse

My 94 did the same thing. In a automatic, you have to come to a full stop, it usually grinds when in 4L ,And for the shifter, I had to look at mine, 2w is all the way forward to the dash, then 4H is toward you 1 click, and "N" is the next toward you, then 4L , you have to push the lever down and pull backwards. Always come to a full stop when changing gears and wait a few seconds before changing direction.

1994 toyota camry 4 cyl no reverse , only forward in N, 1, 2 ,3

It sounds like the linkage may be out of adjustment a bit. If it is not either in Neutral or Park, of course it will not let the starter engage, Try to start it in Neutral if it will not start in Park, or try it in neutral, and pull or push on it a bit. If it starts when you push or pull it, adjust the linkage that goes to the switch, I think it is under the console cover.
