What The 10 Most Worst Suzuki Ignis Key Errors Of All Time Could Have Been Prevented

How to Unstick a Suzuki Ignis Key

Suzuki's funky, affordable city car is getting a midlife refresh. It's not a hot hatch, but it can eat dirt roads in rural and urban areas with aplomb, and its handy turning circle makes town-centre driving an easy task.

The new model is also equipped with smart driver assistance and safety technologies which includes lane departure warning and a sleepiness alarm, which are both welcome additions to long drives.

Steering Lock

The steering lock is an essential security feature to stop the theft of your Ignis when it's in drive. It's a good safety feature, but it can be annoying when you're in a hurry and can't unlock the wheel. There are a few easy things you can do to resolve the issue.

In the beginning, check if the ignition switch is in the "on" position. If that's the case, then try turning the key in the same direction as you did before the wheel was locked. This can be a little difficult but it's typically enough to unlock the wheel.

If the wheel still doesn't unlock, you can spray a little of canned air into the ignition cylinder to lubricate it. 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 solutions work it is necessary to replace the ignition assembly. This part is easy to find in any auto parts shop. Make sure to purchase the exact replacement, and compare it with the old one. Remove the cover on the ignition to view the assembly.

Worn

The steering lock can cause the ignition switch to get stuck. This security feature is designed to prevent your Ignis from moving even when the engine is running. If this occurs you can detach the steering wheel by manipulating it.

Over time, your ignition key can wear out and become more difficult to turn. It may not occur as frequently as a damaged switch, but it can occur. If this is the case, then you need to replace your key.

Find out if anything is blocking your Ignis ignition key from entering the cylinder. Sometimes, there could be debris or dirt that can be wedged inside and keep the key from turning exactly as it is supposed to.

Then, you can try a little grease to see if it can help. There are many different types of lubricant you can purchase, so check out your garage or a local auto parts store to find one that will work.

A silicon "glow-in-the-dark" key cover is a different option. These covers absorb light and then release it when the environment is dark or murky. They also protect your keys from wear and tear. They are offered for the majority of Suzuki models and can be purchased via the internet or from a local Suzuki dealership.

Bent

In time and over time, with repeated use a key can become bent. This can cause the teeth on the key not to be in contact with the lock cylinder in the same way and stop the key from turning the ignition. In this instance it is necessary to replace the key. It is a good idea to duplicate your spare key and store it in a safe place.

Another reason is that the ignition cylinder itself can wear out. The lock pins in the internal lock could become stuck together, preventing the key from moving all the way into 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 prevent further damage.

If the keys of your Ignis remain stuck even after you've tried the simplest solutions, it might be time to lubricate the cylinder. Graphite or liquid graphite could help the lock pins to move more freely, which will free your key from binds. This is readily available at the majority of auto parts stores. Be sure to place your Ignis in park prior to applying the lubricant. Don't try to manhandle the Ignis to free it. This could cause more serious issues.

Broken

If you have tried all the easy ways to make a key unstick but it doesn't move, the final option is to use some lubricant to make it move. You can purchase this from your local auto parts store and apply it to the inside of the cylinder for the ignition lock using a cotton ball or a rag. Move the key gently to spread the lubricant and try again. You can try rubbing it forward, but be careful not to press too hard or you could damage the cylinder.

It is also possible that the internal circuitry of the key can become unresponsive as time passes. This isn't the case as often, and you'll need to create a duplicate key.

The case of the case of your Suzuki key fob could become worn or damaged. This is more likely if you use a cheap replica keyfob, which has a rubber or plastic shell. Depending on the situation, The Key Crew can sometimes transfer the internal circuitry of the old key fob to a replacement shell case, saving you from having to purchase a new key fob.
