Why Do Keys Stick in My Car’s Ignition?
If your keys stick and have struggled to turnover in the engine or you haven’t been able to get your vehicle running, there are a few common issues that arise with most vehicle owners. Here are a few quick tips on getting your car’s ignition to run more smoothly and cleanly in the long run.
Is your wheel sticking or just the ignition?
The steering wheel you are using has a lock mechanism for turning more fluidly. When you are noticing issues on that end, there’s a high likelihood that the are other issues within the vehicle on the transmission side or other parts. However, if it isn’t the interior mechanisms of the vehicle, your key might be at fault.
If the key itself is warn out, it’s likely you’ll have to get a replacement soon. Don’t take this lightly. Leaving it as an issue you can just “fix later” will result in you having troubles soon after. Whether it be a FOB or a traditional key, both can have funky functionality for different reasons. The key itself can end up not only getting stuck in the ignition, but chipping in your door or getting twisted beyond repair. Then, you’ll have to deal with a lockout as well.
