Repairing the ignition Cylinder
The ignition cylinder is the physical part that a key for a car is inserted into to turn it on. It's mounted inside of the ignition switch, an electrical component that locks the ignition and "reads" the anti-theft code in the key to allow or block engine power. Sometimes the wafer tumblers, or pins inside the ignition lock cylinder can wear down (often due to the use of faulty or faulty keys), break or stick in the raised position, blocking the key from turning.
The ignition cylinder must be replaced. Fortunately, locksmiths can complete the task without disassembling the steering column. However, it'll take a few standard tools and some knowledge of your particular vehicle. The ignition switch must be shifted to the accessory position. This allows your car to start but also turn off some of the electronic components (such as the radio or power windows).
