Diagnosing and Repairing Common Ignition Cylinder Failures
When a key goes into the ignition but fails to turn, it typically points to one of three common issues: a worn key blade, internal wear within the ignition cylinder itself, or a steering wheel lock under tension. Our technicians begin by cutting a fresh key based on your vehicle's code; a surprising number of "faulty" ignitions are resolved by a pristine key that engages the wafers properly.If a new key does not solve the problem, we then focus on the ignition cylinder. We can rebuild many cylinders on site, replacing worn internal components such as wafers and springs. In cases of severe wear or damage, a full cylinder replacement is necessary. Where feasible, we can key the new cylinder to your existing door key, so you do not need multiple keys for your vehicle.
