Hi All,
I've got a key problem with my 2004 L322 4.4 v8. My key won't turn in the barrel. Today a new blank key turned up that I ordered, I was hoping I could swap over the electrics and key, as mine is falling apart, but after taking the keys apart obviously it wasn't possible. I put the keys back together and later tried to start my car. But the key wouldn't turn in the barrel.
I've done lots of searching and read many posts on this and other forums regarding my problem and it seems I have the symptoms of the steering lock ECU problem. But as I took apart my key today and later had the problem, I think it could be my key. I don't have a spare key to do any tests with
So could my key loose its code from taking it apart, I didn't disconnect the key battery?
If my key had lost its code, would my key not turn in the barrel? Or should it still turn?
My steering lock is on, and it seems most steering lock ECU problems, the steering locks won't lock?
I have also pulled fuse 18 and waited 15mins then tried to turn the key, but still had no joy.
Any help would be great
Thanks Dan
