How to Unstick a suzuki ignis key [knowing it]

Suzuki's quirky, inexpensive city car gets a re-designed upgrade. It's not a hot-hatch, but it eats up roads in rural and urban areas with ease, and its handy turning circle makes city driving effortless.

The new model is loaded with intelligent driver assistance and safety features which includes lane departure warning and a sleepiness detection alarm, which are welcome features for long drives.

Steering Lock

The steering lock is a crucial security feature to stop the theft of your Ignis when it's in drive. It's an important security measure however it can be a pain when you have to go someplace and you're not able to unlock the wheel. Fortunately, there are some easy things you can try to fix the issue.

First, verify that the ignition switch is in the "on" position. If this is the case, try turning the key in the same direction you did prior to the time that the wheel became locked. It could be difficult, but in most cases it's enough to unlock the wheels.

If the wheel doesn't unlock after spraying canned air into the ignition cylinder, you can lubricate the cylinder. Wear eye protection to prevent getting the canned air in your eyes. You can also use liquid graphite for lubrication of your cylinder.

If none of these options work, you'll need to replace the ignition lock assembly. This component is readily available in any auto parts store. Just make sure you purchase the exact replacement and compare it to the original before attempting to install it. Also, be sure to remove the cover covering the ignition to view and reach the assembly.

Worn

The steering lock can cause the ignition switch to become stuck. This is a safety feature that is designed to stop your Ignis from spinning away while the engine is running. If this happens, you can unbind the steering wheel by manipulating it.

As time passes, the Ignis keys can get worn out and become harder to turn. This isn't the same as a faulty ignition switch, but it could happen. If this is the case, then you need to replace your key.

You should also check to determine if there's obstructions that are preventing your Ignis key from entering the ignition cylinder. Sometimes, there could be debris or dirt that can be trapped inside and prevent the key from turning exactly as it should.

Then, you can try a little lubrication to see if that aids. You can find a variety of lubricants in your garage or at your local auto parts store.

Another alternative is to choose a silicon "glow in the dark" key cover. These covers absorb light and then release it when the environment is dark or murky. They also help keep your key or fob from wear and wear and tear. These are available for many suzuki replacement key models and are available online or at a suzuki swift key programming dealership near you.

Bent

A key can bend over time. The teeth of the keys may not engage with lock cylinders the same way. This can stop the key from turning. If this is the case, the key will need to be replaced. It is a good idea to duplicate your spare key and store it in a secure location.

The cylinder for ignition can wear out. If the internal lock pins get stuck or stuck together it can stop keys from going all the way in or out of the cylinder. Replacing the cylinder could solve this issue, but it's recommended to do it before your key is stuck in the ignition to avoid further damage.

If your key from Ignis is still stuck after trying the easier things to fix, it may be time to try lubricating your cylinder. Graphite or liquid graphite will allow the lock pins move more freely, and ultimately unlock your key. It is available in a lot of auto parts stores. When applying the lubricant, make sure that your Ignis remains in park. Don't attempt to manipulate it to loosen it. This could result in more serious problems.

Broken

If you've tried everything else to unstick a key and it still won’t move, your last resort is to try some oil. You can buy the lubricant from your local auto parts shop and apply it with either a cotton swab, or cotton swab to the inside the lock cylinder. Try again. Move the key backwards and forwards gently to spread out the fluid. Try to massage it forward but be careful not to push too hard as you may damage the cylinder.

The internal circuitry of the key can also be unresponsive due to aging and usage. This isn't as frequent and usually means you'll need to have the key duplicated to make room for another one.

Lastly, the case of your suzuki swift car key key fob may become damaged or worn. This is particularly true if you are using an inexpensive replica key fob, which has a plastic or rubber shell. The Key Crew may be capable of transferring the internal circuitry from your old keyfob into the replacement case, based on the circumstance. This will reduce the expense of buying a new keyfob.
