naiko: what could be the cause?my key just refuse to go into ignition. can it be as a result of wrong programming or an electrical fault or a burnt fuse?never experience this before,house help Hi, got your message. When you say the key won't "go into ignition",do you mean the key won't physically go into the slot? Or it goes in, but won't start the car? |

Sounds like your ignition lock is damaged. I think the internal tumblers have collapsed. If that's the case, you'll be looking at a new ignition lock. |

It sounds to me like you have a failed ignition lock cylinder, and the only way to fix it is to replace the cylinder. What happens is the tumblers inside the cylinder get stuck, and the key will no longer go into the cylinder. It happens the other way sometimes, too, where you can't remove the key from the cylinder. Unfortunately, if you can't get the key to go in, the cylinder will have to be drilled out. This is no easy task, as they are designed to withstand being drilled out. You may be able to get some kind of lube into the cylinder so that the tumblers can be freed. Source: justanswer.com |
