What is your question?
I can only open and close the door via the passenger side. The key just turns around in the driver side hole and thus I cant open or close it.
How long has your 1992 Mercedes-Benz 500SEL had this problem?
Two weeks now

Hello, There is a rod that connects the door lock cylinder to the door lock actuator. It is no longer connected. The reason the key has to stop when you turn it is because the rod can only move so far. repairing the issue will be difficult because you will have to remove the door panel without damaging the 25 year old soft interior panel. It is complicated by the fact that it must be done with the door closed, blocking all the access points. In short, you can remove any components from the interior door panel to look for a way in, but there this may require damaging other components to access the lock. I suggest contacting a European auto specialist who has been around the industry for a while. There may be a point of entry I'm not aware of.
