Steering Lock

The steering lock is a crucial security feature to stop your Ignis from being taken away while it's in drive. It's a helpful safety feature however, it can be a hassle when you're in a rush and can't unlock the wheel. There are a few simple ways to solve the issue.

In the beginning, verify that the ignition switch is in the "on" position. Then, if this is the case, try to turn the key in the direction you were turning it before the wheel locked up. It could be difficult, but in most cases it is enough to unlock the wheels.

If the wheel still doesn't unlock then you can spray a tiny amount of canned air into the ignition cylinder in order to lubricate it. Just be sure to put on eye protection before doing this so that you don't get any air that has been sprayed into your eyes! You can also make use of liquid graphite to lubricate your cylindrical.

If none of these strategies work, you'll need replace the ignition lock assembly. It's an easy component to find at any auto parts retailer. Be sure to buy an identical replacement and then compare it to your original before attempting to install it. Also, make sure to remove the cover that covers the ignition so you can view and reach the assembly.

Worn

The steering lock can cause the ignition switch to become stuck. This safety feature is designed to stop your Ignis from moving when the engine is running. If this happens you can release the steering wheel by manipulating it.

Over time, the Ignis keys can wear out and become difficult to turn. It's not as common as a defective ignition switch, but it could occur. If this is the situation you need to replace your ignition key.

You should also check to check if there's something that is blocking your Ignis key from entering the ignition cylinder. Sometimes, there is debris or dirt that can be wedged inside and keep the key from turning exactly the way it should.

In the end, you can try a little oil to see if it helps. You can purchase a variety of lubricants at your garage or in a local auto parts store.

A silicon "glow-in-the-dark" key cover is a different option. These covers absorb light energy and release it when in dark or murky conditions. They will also help protect your key or fob from wear and tear. They are available for a wide range of suzuki key programming models and can be bought online or at a suzuki grand vitara key replacement dealership near you.

Bent

A key can become bent over time. The teeth of the key might not be able to connect with lock cylinders the same way. This can stop the key from turning. If this is the case the key needs to be replaced. If you have spare keys, it is best to have it duplicated, and keep it in a safe spot.

The ignition cylinder can also wear out. If the lock pins in the cylinder are stuck or jammed together it can stop a key from going all the way in or out of the cylinder. Removing the cylinder is a solution to this problem, but it's better to do it before the key gets stuck in the ignition, to avoid further damage.

If your Ignis key still stuck after trying the simpler fixes it could be time to consider lubricating the cylinder. Graphite powder or liquid graphite can assist in allowing the lock pins to move more freely, and also free your key. You can buy it in a lot of auto parts stores. When applying the lubricant, ensure that your ignition is in park. Don't attempt to manhandle it to unbind it. This could cause more serious issues.

Broken

If you've tried everything to get a key off, but it's still not moving, your last resort is to try a lubricant. You can buy this lubricant at a local auto parts shop and apply it using a cotton swab or an abrasive to the inside of the lock cylinder. Try again. Move the key backwards and forwards gently to spread the lubricant. If you are able to push it forward, do it, but be careful not to push too hard or you could break it off inside the cylinder.

It's also possible that the internal circuitry of the key will begin to fail as time passes. This isn't as frequent and typically means that you'll want to have the key duplicated to make room for a new one.

Finally, the case of your Suzuki key fob can get damaged or worn. This is especially true in the case of a cheap replica key fob that has a rubber or plastic shell. The Key Crew may be able to migrate the internal circuitry of your old keyfob into an alternative case based on the situation. This will save you the expense of buying a new keyfob.
