How to Unstick a suzuki remote key, new post from Hikvisiondb, Ignis Key

Subaru-logo.pngSuzuki's funky, cheap little city car receives a midlife refresh. It's not a hot-hatch but it's able to handle the tarmac in rural and urban areas well. Its tight turn-in circle makes driving in towns an easy task.

The new model also comes loaded with intelligent driver assistance and safety technologies that includes lane departure warning and sleepiness detection alarms, which are great additions to long drives.

Steering Lock

The steering lock is a crucial security feature to prevent your Ignis from being taken away when it's in drive. It's an important security measure, but it can be a hassle when you need to go to a location and you are unable to unlock the wheel. There are fortunately, a few easy solutions to solve the issue.

In the beginning, determine if the ignition switch is in the "on" position. Then, if you're sure, try to turn the key in the direction you turned before the wheel became locked. It's a bit difficult, but generally it's enough to unlock the wheels.

If the wheel does not unlock then you can spray a little of canned air into the ignition cylinder in order to lubricate it. Make sure you put on eye protection before doing this so you don't get any air that has been sprayed into your eyes! Liquid graphite may also work to make the cylinder more lubricated.

If none of these solutions work it is necessary to replace the ignition assembly. Luckily, this is an easy component to locate at any auto parts retailer. Just ensure you buy the exact replacement, and then compare it to your original before you attempt to install it. Remove the cover on the ignition to see the ignition assembly.

Worn

The steering lock can bind the ignition switch and cause the key to be stuck. This is a security feature designed to prevent your Ignis from spinning away while the engine is running. If this occurs you can detach the steering wheel by manipulating it.

In time the Ignis keys wear out and become more difficult to turn. It might not occur as frequently as a damaged switch, but it can happen. If this is the case it is recommended to replace the ignition key.

You should also determine if there's obstructions to 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 as it is supposed to.

You can also test an ounce of lubricant to determine whether it can help. You can find a variety of lubricants in your garage or local auto parts store.

Another option is to utilize an silicon "glow in the dark" key cover. These covers absorb light energy and release it when in dark or hazy conditions. These covers will also protect your keys from wear and tear. They are available for a wide range of suzuki swift remote key replacement models and can be purchased either online or at the Suzuki dealership near you.

Bent

In time and over time, with repeated use, a key may get bent. This could cause the teeth on the key to not engage with the lock cylinder in the same way and stop the key from turning in the ignition. If this is the case the key needs to be replaced. If you have spare keys, it is an ideal idea to get it duplicated and put it in a safe location.

The cylinder for ignition can wear out. If the internal lock pins get stuck or stuck together, this can prevent keys from moving through or out of the cylinder. This can be resolved by replacing the cylinder, however, it is recommended to replace the cylinder before the key becomes stuck in the ignition.

If your keys from Ignis are stuck even after trying the more straightforward solutions, it might be time to grease the cylinder. Graphite or liquid graphite can assist the lock pins in being able to move more freely and free your key from binds. This can be found at the majority of auto parts stores. When applying the lubricant, ensure that your Ignis is in park and do not attempt to manipulate it in order to release it. This could lead to more serious problems.

Broken

If you've tried everything to get a key off, but it doesn't work then your last option is to try a lubricant. You can purchase this lubricant from a local auto parts store and apply it with either a cotton swab, or cotton swab to the inside the lock cylinder. Move the key gently to spread the lubricant and then try again. If you are able to push it forward, do so but don't push too hard or you'll break it off in the cylinder.

It's also possible that the circuitry inside the key may become inactive as time passes. This isn't as frequent and usually means that you'll have to have the key duplicated and replaced with another one.

The case of your suzuki alto key fob keyfob can also become damaged or worn. This is particularly true if you are using a cheap replica key fob with a rubber or plastic shell. The Key Crew may be capable of transferring the internal circuitry of your old keyfob into a replacement suzuki swift key case depending on the specifics of the situation. This will help you save the cost of buying an entirely new keyfob. We'll inform you if this is an option for your situation when we call to schedule the service.
