5 Laws That Will Help The Suzuki Ignis Key Industry

How to Unstick a Suzuki Ignis Key

Suzuki's quirky, cheap little city car is getting a midlife upgrade. It's not a supercar, but it can eat the tarmac in rural and urban areas with ease, and its nifty turning circle makes driving in town an easy task.

The new model comes with clever driver assistance and safety technology such as lane departure warning and a drowsiness alert that is a welcome addition to long drives.

Steering Lock

The steering lock is an essential security feature to avoid your Ignis from being stolen when it's in drive. It's a great safety feature however it can be annoying when you're in a hurry and are unable to unlock your wheel. There are fortunately, a few simple things you can do to fix the problem.

Make sure that the ignition switch is set to "on". If that's the case, then try turning the key in the same direction as you did prior to the time that the wheel became locked. It's difficult, but in most cases it is enough to unlock the wheels.

If the wheel isn't able to unlock after spraying canned air in the ignition cylinder apply lubrication to the cylinder. Wear eye protection to avoid getting sprays of air that have been sprayed onto your face. You can also use liquid graphite for lubrication of your piston.

If none of these works then you'll need to replace the ignition assembly. This component can be found at any auto parts store. Make sure to purchase the exact replacement, and compare it to the original. Take off the cover from the ignition to see the assembly.

Worn

The steering lock could cause the ignition switch to get stuck. This is a safety feature designed to prevent your Ignis from slipping away when the engine is running. If this occurs, you can unbind the steering wheel by manipulating it.

Over time, your ignition key can start to wear out and become harder to turn. It may not occur as frequently as a damaged switch, but it does happen. If this is the case, you should replace your ignition key.

You should also check to determine if there's obstructions that are preventing your Ignis key from getting into the ignition cylinder. Sometimes there can be debris or dirt that can be wedged inside and keep the key from turning exactly as it is supposed to.

Try a little lubricant to see whether it will help. You can find a wide range of lubricants in your garage or local auto parts store.

Another option is to use a silicon "glow in the dark" key cover. These covers absorb light and release it when the environment is dark or murky. They also to protect your fob or key from wear and tear. They are available for a variety of Suzuki models and can be bought either online or at the Suzuki dealership near you.

Bent

A key can become bent over time. The teeth of the key could not be able to connect with lock cylinders the same way. This can hinder the key from turning. In this instance it is necessary to replace the key. It is a good idea to duplicate the spare key and store it in a secure place.

Another possible cause is the cylinder for ignition itself could wear out. If the internal lock pins are stuck or jammed together this could prevent a key from going all the way in or out of the cylinder. Removing  G28CarKeys  is a solution to this problem, but it's better to do it before the key gets stuck in the ignition, to avoid further damage.

If your key from Ignis is stuck despite trying simple fixes it's time to lubricate the cylinder. Graphite or liquid graphite will aid the lock pins to move more freely, which will loosen your key. You can find this in most auto parts stores. Make sure that you place your Ignis into park before applying the oil. Don't try to manipulate the Ignis in order to release it from its binding. This could cause more serious problems.

Broken

If you've tried everything to remove a key but it still won’t move the key, your final option is to try a fluid. You can purchase this from your local auto parts store and apply it to the inside of the ignition lock cylinder with a cotton ball or rag. Try again. Move the key forwards and backwards gently to spread out the oil. If you are able to push it forward, do it, but do not push too hard or you could break it off in the cylinder.

The internal circuitry of the key can also be unresponsive due to aging and usage. This isn't as common and usually means you'll need to have the key duplicated in order to get another one.

Lastly, the case of the case of your Suzuki key fob may get damaged or worn. This is particularly true in the case of a cheap replica key fob, which has a plastic or rubber shell. The Key Crew may be in a position to transfer the internal circuitry of the old keyfob to the replacement case, based on the situation. This can save you the expense of buying an entirely new keyfob.
