Default 99 c280 ignition switch

car won't start. checked all the fuses, replaced the battery, replaced the position sensor, last thing is the ignition switch? do you have to go through a dealer? I've got the tool i've found on ebay motors.

if the car is cranking its probably not the ignition...try using a differnt key..
also make sure the alarm is disarmed otherwise car might not start.check for fuel pressure and spark. spray some 2+2 carb cleaner or starting fluid in the throttle body and see if it will start running. if it does run then youvr got spark.

that car has a saddle gas tank and are known for bad fuel level sending units. gas gauge could read 1/4 to 1/2 tank but the sending unit has failed to pump gas to the other side of the gas tank..try putting in 5 gallons of gas first. make sure you dont have some bad gas in there...been seeing alot of bad gas coming out of new jersey and pa recently.
