You can remove the steering column trim with specialized tools to access your ignition cylinder module. Refer to your repair ignition lock cylinder manual for learn how to do it correctly.
1. Check the Switch
One of the most common ignition issues is a malfunctioning switch. It controls when relays are activated and deactivated, acting as bridge. Since it doesn't channel the full power of devices like the starter, it's a lighter component that is less likely to fail. However, it's still possible for the switch to be damaged or damaged or corroded.
One sign of a damaged switch is a difficulty turning the key. This can be caused by various factors, including improperly inserting the key, or deteriorating the mechanism over time. It's not common to see people mix their keys up with someone else's. This can cause mechanical damage.
If the switch isn't working, there are some things you can try before calling a locksmith. First, you'll want to make sure that the battery is fully charged and that there are no other electrical issues in the system. You should also check the voltage of every component to ensure that they are sufficient power. After you've completed these steps, it's time to begin troubleshooting.
Fortunately, the ignition switch is easy to replace. It's connected to the ignition cylinder, which is a round module that holds everything together. To replace it, you'll require a flathead screwdriver and something long enough to press the pin into. You can make use of anything from a paintbrush to kabob stick, but avoid anything brittle as it could be broken into the hole.

To determine whether the ignition switch is bad or the ignition coil is bad, you must conduct a quick electrical test with a Voltmeter. The voltmeter should be reading around 12.6 volts when the ignition switch is in the running position. If the voltage is below that, there is an open circuit somewhere within the system. This could be the battery, solenoid, or the ignition coil.
Connect the electrical connector to ensure that it doesn't interfere with the test. Then you should set the voltmeter in the continuity or resistance mode and put one lead on one of the terminals on the ignition switch. The other lead should be connected to the positive terminal of the battery. If the voltmeter is "open" or fails to register any voltage, you should replace the switch.
Use a brand new ignition key and a high-quality ignition cylinder when you replace the switch to ensure your vehicle runs and starts properly. When replacing the ignition switch, be careful not to strike the cylinder's pins on the ignition with your tools, or they'll become stuck and your engine won't start. You'll need to remove the steering wheel as well as the gear selector in some vehicles to access the ignition cylinder. This isn't easy, and it is not recommended until you have an owner’s guideline that states it's safe. If you do not you could cause serious damage to your steering column and shift mechanism.
3. Check the Cylinder
If you've tried the battery, the wiring, and the ignition switch but still cannot get your car started It could be time to inspect the cylinder. The cylinder is the piece which holds the key and is mechanically connected to the steering lock so that a would-be burglar can't drive the car without it.

Sometimes, the pins in the cylinder become stuck when they adjust to the shape of your key, which may cause your car to not start. The cylinder could also be loose however a tap using the small hammer from a tack can assist in releasing it. Just be careful not to jumble the springs inside and ensure that your key is correctly inserted before tapping.
Another indication that your cylinder is in trouble is when you have to move the key around and test it in various positions before it begins. This is a negative sign, and it should be corrected right away because it will get worse over time.
To check the cylinder you will need to remove the steering wheel cover and disconnect the battery. Then, you'll be able pull out the old ignition switch and the cylinder made of metal. If you don't have a spare ignition switch lying around, it's that you could take your original ignition switch and the cylinder to a locksmith and reuse them as long as they're in good condition. After replacing the ignition switch and cylinder make sure to reconnect the wiring and secure it before reattaching the panels and covers that you removed.
4. Check the Spark Plugs
The spark plug is the last link in your ignition system chain. When it breaks, the engine can't run. It can be that your car will not start at all or it will run poorly. In either case, it's likely that one of several things are preventing or impeding the flow of electricity across spark plug gaps, which then ignites the fuel mixture and air within your engine.
Make sure you wear protective tools and gloves before working with your spark plugs. Spark plugs can be hot and cause serious injury if you touch them with your skin.
When a spark plug goes bad, you may be able to see that the top of the electrode's central portion has some light brown or gray substance on it. It could also have a black layer on the side of the electrode. These deposits, also known as fouling, can stop high-voltage electricity from jumping across the spark plug gap and igniting your engine.
If you suspect your spark plugs could be the cause You could test them by remove them from the tube that is inside the ignition coil. This can be done by disconnecting the coil from the plug wire, and following the proper procedure for your car key ignition replacement near me to remove components that cover the spark plugs. After removing the plugs, place them on a metal surface that is grounded and begin the engine. If they're working you will be able to see a strong blue spark across the gap at the tip of the central electrode.
If you do not detect a spark, you've discovered the problem. The next step is to go backwards through the ignition chain and test each component until the spark plugs are no longer functioning. It is important to keep in mind that all systems wear down and break over time, and this is especially the case with ignition systems. Routine maintenance can help to slow down the process and prevent a major headache at the worst possible time.
