Ignition switch replacement

The ignition lock is a mechanical-electric component which starts the electric circuits and activates the starter. It usually fails due to wear and moisture. The following are the symptoms of its malfunctioning: difficulty putting the key in and turning it, no response from the electric devices, inability to switch off the engine. Repairing it is usually very expensive so it's better to replace it with a new one.

Tips

  • Avoid keeping other keys together with the car key as their weight may accelerate the wear of the ignition
