A car plays a vital role in our everyday life. We have come to rely on it and expect it to be working for us when we need it. Unfortunately, when problems arise, they can ruin your day. We have listed the common things that stop your car key from turning and how to fix it.
Check Your Steering Wheel
The most common issue that prevents your car key from turning in the ignition is actually nothing to do with the key itself. Instead, it’s an issue caused by the steering wheel. Thankfully, it is an issue that is easily solved.
If the steering wheels turn while the key is not in the ignition it can cause this problem. By turning the steering wheel, you may find that your key works once more.
Inspect Your Car Key
The key may be worn out or taken damage. If you have a copy of your car key, use it. If the key is worn, it may work if you don’t put the key all the way in. Instead, pull it out a little and try again.
If the key has taken damage and you do not have a copy, arm yourself with your key and your VIN number before asking your locksmith for assistance in creating and programming another key.
Car Key Copy Issues
If you have recently bought a copy of your car key and it is not turning in the ignition, your key may have faulty or unfinished programming. Your locksmith can help you ensure that the key has the correct programming to make it work in your car.
If the key has suddenly stopped working after working previously, check the battery of your car key fob.
