2. Noticing Some Trouble?
• If you feel like you are always having to jiggle
your key in and out of the ignition you may have
yourself an ignition issue.
• Over time the car’s ignition switch can get
damaged and eventually break if not cared for.
• When this happens your car wont even turn on!
3. What Can You Do?
• Typically, one should call a locksmith when trying to
fix their ignition switch.
• When a locksmith comes he will assess the issue and
work accordingly to fix it.
• When an ignition switch becomes damaged the
linings inside become rough giving the key a tough
time fitting in smoothly- which will eventually not
be able to fit inside at all- or the key won’t turn.
• A locksmith can replace your damaged ignition
switch with a new one so your key will have no
problem fitting and turning.
4. What Can Cause Them To Break?
• There are a number of things that can be the cause of an
ignition switch not working.
• Sometimes, and for some cars, the steering wheel needs to be
straight in order for the key to turn. If your ignition switch
isn’t working, try adjusting the steering wheel.
• A worn out transponder can also cause one to not work, try
using a metal copy of the key.
• Broken wire connections are another possible contributor.
Usually the wire that connects the tumbler assembly to the
electrical ignition can get disconnected.
• Lastly and simply, dirt or dust can easily disable an ignition
switch from working. Check the insides for dirt accumulation
and try cleaning up a bit, maybe that will work for you.
