Help..can't turn my key on?
I just went out to start my 81 240D and they key will not turn in the cylinder.
I went back and got my other factory key thinking that might help but NO-GO. The keys have not been damaged and the key cylinder worked just fine this morning. I have not forced anything but tried firmly to turn the key on. Nuttin... she won't turn. Any suggestions?

Had the same experience happen a couple of weeks ago with the TE. Ended up getting a complete new ignition switch assembly. Install wasn't too bad with help from the forum here.
