Ignition key problem
Hi guys!
I got CL 1999 5MT. And l got problems with the ignition key - it turns, starts the engine, but with time key doesnt fixe in the exact position. And when you,ve started the engine - audio and 12V mostly doesn't work. So you have to turn key slightly forward and backward to find the exact position to start the audio. I've been doing it for 3-4 times every time i start the engine, so it have pissed me off!
Is there any other options, than changing whole 3 locks in the car?
TY!

Do a search but I think you can swap out the ignition cylinder itself.

Ignition switch failure is fairly common on your car, but not positive about the necessity to change the key itself. Do some searching to see if you can definitely determine that otherwise other members may be able to answer you. To get you started -
