Today my steering wheel and igniton have locked up. I started the car perfectly fine, turned it off for a moment, then when starting again, it was hard to get the key into the ignition, and the wheel and ignition are locked. The steering wheel is locked to the far right with a little play left while the wheels are pretty straight. I’ve tired turning the key while moving the steering wheel to no success. While the car was running the first time I tightened two lug nuts which resulted in the car rocking back and forth a few times if that could influence things. Any advice?
Your year of Benz is known for failure of the EZL, (electric steering lock) but you must have a second key to try first.
