Product Description

Restore reliable starting and security to your Mercedes-Benz with this Arrowhead Ignition Barrel & Key, designed for direct replacement in select models. The ignition barrel is a crucial component of your vehicle's starting system, allowing the key to turn and engage the ignition switch to power up your engine and accessories. This part comes with a matching key, ensuring a secure fit and smooth operation.

This ignition barrel and key set is compatible with various Mercedes-Benz models. To ensure proper fitment, please confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering. Compatibility can vary even within the same model range, so double-checking these details is important.

Common symptoms of a failing ignition barrel include difficulty turning the key, the key getting stuck or not inserting fully, intermittent starting issues, or a key that spins without engaging the ignition. Other signs may include loss of accessory power or the inability to remove the key from the barrel.

If you are experiencing any of these issues, it is recommended to replace the ignition barrel and key promptly to avoid being stranded or causing further electrical problems. Replacement is often straightforward but may require basic mechanical skills and, in some cases, minor re-coding of the immobiliser system.
