Read why it's better to repair the original ignition switch than to buy a replacement.
When the Ignition Switch Requires Repair
Car ignition switches are components that simply wear out over time. Few people know that this part deteriorates similarly to brake pads. When the car lacks a remote central locking key, we must consider that the key working in the lock and ignition switch wears down doubly: both the tumblers and the key wear out. Sometimes, symptoms such as grinding noises or issues with removing the key indicate that the ignition switch is failing.
A broken ignition switch is easy to identify: the inserted car key won’t turn, gets stuck, or locks up. It’s also possible that it broke after being turned or cannot be removed at all. The diagnosis usually points to a broken spring, damaged housing, or worn tumblers. In such cases, if we don’t want to pay several thousand zlotys for a new ignition switch with a key, it will be necessary to have the ignition switch repaired by a professional who can use the existing key.
Individuals lacking the appropriate knowledge often mistakenly use lubricants like WD-40 to fix a stuck ignition switch. This makes the tumblers more “fitting” to the key, leading to further locking of the ignition switch.
Therefore, if you cannot start your car because the ignition switch is locked, damaged due to a break-in, or simply cannot turn the key, it’s advisable to consult a professional who can regenerate the ignition switch. Włamywacz has been helping its clients in such situations for years.
