Diagnosing the Cause of a Non-Turning Ignition
When your ignition key will not turn, the first step is a thorough diagnosis. Our technician will assess common culprits, starting with the key itself. A worn or damaged key blade often causes issues. We can cut a fresh key on-site to see if this resolves the problem, which it frequently does for many vehicle owners.
If the key is not the issue, we then examine the ignition cylinder for internal wear or damage. We also check for a steering column lock that may be under tension, preventing the cylinder from rotating. Our approach prioritizes the least intrusive and most cost-effective solution first.
The Process of Rebuilding or Replacing Your Ignition Cylinder
Should the diagnosis confirm a worn or faulty ignition cylinder, we have two primary solutions. A cylinder can often be rebuilt by replacing worn internal wafers, allowing your existing key to function again. This involves carefully disassembling the cylinder, replacing components, and reassembling it to factory specifications.
If the damage is too severe for a rebuild, a full ignition cylinder replacement is performed. Where possible, we re-key the new cylinder to your existing door key. This ensures you do not need separate keys for your doors and ignition, maintaining convenience and consistency.
Addressing Keys Stuck or Broken in the Ignition
A key stuck in the ignition or one that has snapped off inside requires delicate handling. For a stuck key, our technicians use specialized tools to release the cylinder mechanisms without causing further damage. This is often linked to a worn key or an internal cylinder issue.
If the key has broken, we employ extraction tools to carefully remove the fragments without damaging the ignition cylinder. Following extraction, we inspect the cylinder for any stress or wear and cut a new, functional key on-site. This ensures your vehicle is operational and secure once more.
