How to Unstick a Suzuki Ignis Key
Suzuki's quirky, affordable city car gets a re-designed refresh. It's not a hot-hatch, however it does eat up the tarmac in rural and urban areas with ease, and its clever turning circle makes city driving a breeze.
The new model is also packed with clever driver assistance and safety technologies that includes lane departure warning and a sleepiness alarm, which are welcome features for long drives.
Steering suzuki swift key G28CarKeys steering lock is an important security feature that will stop the theft of your Ignis when it's in drive. It's a useful security feature however, it can be frustrating when you're in a rush and can't unlock your wheel. There are a few simple actions you can take to solve the issue.
First, make sure the ignition switch is set to "on". If that's the case, then try turning the key in the same direction as you did before the wheel became locked. This can be a little difficult, but it's usually enough to unlock the wheel.
If the wheel doesn't unlock after spraying canned air in the ignition cylinder, you can lubricate the cylinder. Wear eye protection to prevent getting canned air in your face. You can also use liquid graphite to lubricate your cylinder.
If none of these work, you will need to replace the ignition assembly. This component is easily found in any auto parts store. Be sure to purchase an exact replacement and compare it to the original. Take off the cover from the ignition to view the entire assembly.
Worn
The steering lock can cause the ignition switch to be stuck. This safety feature is designed to stop your Ignis from moving even when the engine is running. If this happens you can detach the steering wheel by manipulating it.
In time, your Ignis key will wear out and become harder to turn. It might not happen as often as a bad switch, but it does happen. If this is the case, you should replace your key.
Find out if anything can block your Ignis ignition key from gaining access to the cylinder. There could be debris or dirt that may get stuck inside the ignition cylinder preventing it from turning.
You could also try using a small amount of lubricant to see whether it can help. There are a myriad of types of lubricant you can buy, so look around your garage or at an auto parts shop in your area to find one that will work.
A silicon "glow-in-the-dark" key cover is another option. These covers absorb light energy and release it in murky or dark conditions. They also protect your key from wear and tear. They are available for most Suzuki models and can be purchased on the internet or at a local Suzuki dealership.
Bent
In time and over time, with repeated use a key can become bent. The teeth of the keys may not connect to lock cylinders in the same way. This can hinder the key from turning. If this is the case, the key will need to be replaced. It is a good plan to duplicate your spare key and store it in a secure area.
Another reason is that the cylinder that controls ignition can wear out. If the lock pins within get stuck or snagged together this could prevent the key from going all the way into or out of the cylinder. Removing the cylinder is a solution to this issue, but it's recommended to do so before your key gets stuck in the ignition to prevent further damage.
If your Ignis keys are still stuck, even after you've tried the simplest solutions It's probably time to lubricate the cylinder. Graphite powder or liquid graphite may aid in allowing the lock pins to move more freely and unbind your key. This can be found at the majority of auto parts stores. Make sure you put your Ignis in park prior to applying the oil. Do not try manipulating the Ignis with your hands to release it from its binding. This could cause more serious problems.
Broken
If you have tried all of the easier ways to make a key unstick, but it's still refusing to move, the final option is to use some lubricant to get it moving. You can purchase this lubricant at a local auto parts store and apply it with either a cotton swab, or rag to the inside of the lock cylinder. Try again. Move the key backwards and forwards gently to spread the lubricant. If you can massage it forward, do so but don't push too hard or you'll break it off in the cylinder.
It's also possible that the internal circuitry of the key will begin to fail as time passes. This isn't as common and typically means that you'll want to have the key duplicated to make room for an entirely new one.
Finally, the case of your Suzuki key fob may become worn or damaged. This is especially common when you're using a cheap replica key fob with a rubber or plastic shell. The Key Crew may be capable of transferring the internal circuitry from the old keyfob to the replacement case, based on the circumstance. This will save you the expense of buying an entirely new keyfob. We'll inform you the possibility for your particular situation when we call to schedule the service.
