Ignition Repair and Replacement
Symptoms of a Broken Car Ignition The ignition consists of two parts that are the ignition switch and the ignition lock cylinder . The power switch is what controls and provides power to the electrical accessories and the car's computer. On the other hand, the cylinder of the ignition lock is the component where the key is inserted to start the vehicle. The ignition lock cylinder services as protection against car theft because it requires a unique set of wafers that allow the car to start only if the correct key is inserted. Therefore, if these wafers are damaged or broken due to an attempted car theft or normal wear, then your key cannot turn the lock cylinder . Another symptom of a bad ignition in your Toyota is that it will start to be difficult to turn the cylinder of the ignition lock to start the car and, finally, the key will no longer enter the lock or get stuck inside the cylinder of the ignition lock. At this point, you will need an expert locksmith to repair
