Ignition Locks
The ignition locks are an anti-theft mechanism that prevents thieves from taking your vehicle. When you insert your key inside the ignition lock, you are telling your car's integrated system of security that you have your original keys and that you are able to start the vehicle. The system locks the vehicle until you remove the switch from the lock position with the keys you used to get it there, or replace it with a different one.
While they appear to be indestructible to some, the ignition switches of automobiles aren't immune from the elements and may malfunction. A common cause of the issue is a worn out spring or pin. These parts wear out over time, and it can be difficult to tell when they're due to be replaced.
It is possible to restore it to working order by disassembling the ignition and lubricating all moving parts. You'll need to disconnect the battery first and take the steering wheel off, which requires the use of a specific tool, such as a steering wheel puller. You'll need a screwdriver which has a small tip to press the release pin at the bottom of the switch.
