How to Fix Car Ignition Switch Problems
There are a variety of reasons your car might run and start but the ignition fails to start the spark plugs. Some are easy and inexpensive to fix, whereas others require specialized equipment and the assistance of mechanics.
Lubricate the key socket first. You can use either graphite powder or a silicon aerosol spray. Make sure that the ignition cylinder is free of no obstructions or loose springs.
Battery
If your car doesn't start, it could be due to the battery being dead. This is a common problem that can be solved by getting a jump or charging of the battery. If this does not fix the issue your ignition switch could be bad. This component carries battery power to the other electrical components, such as the starter motor and ignition coil. If the ignition switch is not working properly, it is not able to allow current flow through, and the engine will not start.
The battery is the source of all electrical energy in your vehicle. It's a dark box with positive (+) and negative (-) terminals that are on top. The terminals can be damaged, preventing the battery from providing power to the rest the vehicle. Clean the battery terminals by disconnecting the battery and using a wire brush to remove any corrosion. You can also clean the terminals with baking soda as a solution.
It's possible that your vehicle's battery is nearing the end of its life and needs to be replaced. A new battery will provide the proper voltage to your vehicle's spark plugs. This is necessary to ensure that your engine is running properly.
The ignition coil is responsible for converting low voltage from the battery into high voltage that will spark your car's spark plugs to start the engine. If the ignition coil is damaged it will not be able to spark the plugs, and your engine won't start. The ignition coil can be checked by checking the engine for a spark or car Ignition Switch turning the key to see whether it is turning.
You may also need to replace your starter motor. If you hear a grinding sound as you turn the ignition key it means that the starter bearings are wearing out. This can be a costly fix, therefore it is recommended to replace the starter motor early on in the event that you notice signs of wear and wear and tear. Changing the starter motor is an easy task that requires replacing some bolts and parts.
Alternator
The alternator is the one that charges your battery and also powers the electrical components of your car while the engine is running. If you suspect a problem with your alternator you should test the battery first. This will enable you to determine if the alternator is draining the battery or if the battery is old and requires replacement.
Your car's alternator also supplies power for the dashboard lights, windshield wipers and power windows, electric steering, heated seats and your radio when the car is running. A voltmeter can be used to test the voltage of your alternator and battery. If your battery is less than 6 volts, it should be replaced or charged right away. A dead or low-volt battery can also stop the starter motor from cranking the engine, and will require more jumper cables to start your car.
Before you start dismantling the alternator, ensure that the ignition is turned off and all the doors are locked. You should also disconnect the negative cable from the battery, and then put it away somewhere safe and put on safety equipment. Refer to a vehicle specific repair manual for instructions on how to access the alternator as well as any other parts you need to take off.
If your vehicle has a warning light wire, you can disconnect it from the side of the generator after taking off the belt. It will typically connect directly to the alternator's terminal that's labeled as WL or IND. Certain vehicles have a separate relay to perform this function. If your warning light doesn't appear, it is likely that there is an issue with your vehicle.
It is recommended to regularly check your alternator for any signs of malfunction. While you can do some of the tests on your own, it's recommended to bring your vehicle to Les Schwab for a free inspection and expert advice. Our technicians will test for corrosion on your battery posts, battery (+ and -), fuses, relays as well as voltage output, cold starting amps, and much more.
Starter Motor
The starter motor is an essential element of the lost ignition key system. It is responsible for turning over the engine to suck into air, which is essential to ignite the fuel. When your car won't start it is often due to a problem with the starter motor. There are a number of troubleshooting methods to help you determine the issue and fix it.
When you turn on your vehicle's ignition key, a switch inside the starter activates a pinion gear that fits into grooves of the flywheel. The pinion gear turns the flywheel, which in turn begins the engine. When you release the key, the pinion gear retracts, and disconnects from the flywheel to avoid damage.
There are a myriad of things that could cause problems in the starter motor, including an electrical failure in the internal windings, mechanical issues (such as teeth no longer meshing on the flywheel or pinion gear) or a dead battery. A malfunctioning starter motor may sound like a dead phone battery. It will make a clicking sound when it tries but cannot turn the engine over.
The state of charge and the battery's terminals will be checked by a mechanic if the starter motor doesn't work. If the battery is depleted or has rust on its terminals, it will require charging or replaced.
Depending on the severity of the issue, the mechanic could test the solenoid on the starter using a multimeter. The solenoid is a huge magnetic switch that sends a rush of power from the thick battery cables to the starter. The switch connects the long battery cable to windings within the starter that actually make the electric motor turn, plus it pushes a rod that actuates an engaging fork that will then push the gear pinion to automatically engage with the flywheel.
Another option is to disable the ignition switch by using a jumper wire. This is only an option for a short-term fix and you shouldn't try it unless you're sure how to do it. You'll need to carefully route the jumper wire through the battery terminals, and ensure that the switch is set to the "Start" position.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is the place where you insert your car key. This will enable electrical flow to your starter and then start the engine, but it's not immune from wear and tear as other parts of your car ignition switch repair. The switch can also become stuck in its slot or locked. You should check for problems regularly so you can act before the car stops working.
If your key seems to struggle to turn or gets stuck in the ignition, it might have been locked. This is a common issue for a variety of vehicles and occurs due to a lack of lubrication. You can apply a graphite- or silicone-based lubricant to lubricate the release pin. Spray some lubricant on the ignition, and then move the key. If you're stuck, try using a hacksaw or piler blade.
An ignition issue can cause a variety of other issues as well. The anti-theft function may not work or the starter motor may not turn on when you insert the key. This could also cause the other functions to stop functioning or lose power.
A failing ignition can also cause additional wear and tear to other components. If you have keys that have multiple items, or a large one, it can cause strain on the ignition switch and increase wear on the internal components. Extreme temperature fluctuations can affect the lubricants and materials used in the ignition switch.
It's important to test the replacement ignition switch prior to reassembling other components and the steering column. Make sure the replacement works and that the engine is running without issue. It is also important to confirm that the new ignition switch is compatible with the vehicle's make and model. It might be worth it to hire a dealership to install the ignition switch for you if you aren't confident in your ability to do so. They can also test the new switch and install any other components that need to be connected or replaced.
