The car is a 92 190e. My key is stuck in the ignition switch. I think the safety switch on the gear selector that indicates when you are in park has gone bad. Yesterday I could not get the car to start; the engine would not turn over. I moved the gear selector from park to drive several times and finally got it to start. Today it will start, but I can't get the key cylinder to turn all the way off to get the key out. The key turns freely and will turn to the 1 & 2 positions and almost to the 0 position, just not all the way off to remove the key.

Do you think my diagnosis is correct? If so, can someone tell me where the switch is located? I looked in the console under the gear selector but did not see it.


Thanks, David
