The vehicle is capable of bringing its owner differently - got a battery, problems with candles or with a motor. Probably there is no such motorist who would not know what to do about it. However, quite often occur situations to which we are not ready, for example, in the ignition lock, the key encourages.

The first thing that in this case comes to mind is to pull the key with the force, which is categorically impossible, at least before finding out the causes of the locking of the castle.

Hences the castle, reasons

The causes of the locking of the castle may be several:

1. The most common cause is the triggering of the steering column.
2. The simplest reason is the castle pollution.
3. Possible deformation of the ignition key.
4. Also, the problem may be in the wear of parts or in the freezing of the node.

Autorun, as it affects spontaneous ignition lock lock

Very often, the problems with the locking of the ignition castle occur in the "LADA" vehicle of the manufacturer of AvtoVAZ. Manufacturers themselves do not deny the possibilities of spontaneous blocking, but argue that the human factor plays the role here. This means that if the driver has jammed the castle, then he is to blame for this. But this circumstance can be easily verified in practice, it is enough to remove the key from the lock and insert back. Next, you need to immediately turn on the ignition and start the motor, excluding the position of the starter key. The blocking of the ignition key is very often due to this position.

In the course of the research of cars that came to the group spontaneously blocked, it was found that, as a rule, the problem is present at the drivers, which was configured to their vehicles option "Autostask". This function makes it possible to start a vehicle without the involvement of a car owner, that is, at a certain distance. However, to make a trip by car, everything is required to insert the key before starting the movement.

But, according to the results of the study, the autorun is not able to influence the performance of the ignition lock and violate the work of the vehicle.

The machine will not start with the key, check the steering lock mechanism

This anti-theft system manufacturers equip vehicles still at the factory. If the power lock works, then neither the driver nor an attacker will be able to run the motor using the key.

In this case, most motorists start to panic and trying to pull the key by force, which can not be done, as you can damage the castle. Calm down, try turning the key in the ignition lock, but you must twist the steering wheel left or right. Do not need to do sharp movements, just like to apply force. You must find this position of the steering column, which will remove the power lock and give the ability to run the motor.

Castle pollution

If you see that the castle begins to eat, you should pay attention to it. A variety of lubricating compounds that are used to improve the performance of all elements, including the ignition castle, are able to attract dust. In this case, the well may be clogged with dust or mud. The most effective, but not the easiest way to solve the problem is the full disassembly of the ignition lock. This will give you the opportunity to clean all the elements, thereby having to save it from the solar blocks and dirt.

If you do not want to disassemble the lock, use the WD or carburetor cleaner. The cleaning agent must necessarily have an applicator issuing a powerful jet. Only so you get to the internal departments of the castle and wash all the dirt from there. Wash the ignition lock is necessary until the transparent fluid is washed out of it.

Deformation of the details of the castle or the key

The elements of the lock themselves are deformed quite rarely, but you can affect them, for example, inserting the wrong key. In this case, you must fully disassemble the lock and look for a problem in it. However, in front of this, inspect the ignition key visually, maybe it will bend. Problems with unnecessary key curves can be easily solved using a hammer.

If the castle is frozen

This reason is the most popular in winter. As a result, the temperature difference inside the ignition switch is capable of accumulating condensate, due to which the moisture can freeze and fix the ignition lock.

The most convenient way to solve this problem is to heat the key with the help of a lighter and insert it into the lock. As a rule, the first time this method may not work, repeat the operation several times until the motor is headed.

Ignition lock key, bring the key to the "Ignition" position

After consideration by the autoinstructors of the main problems of the ignition lock, it turned out that the solution of the problem is simple - the key must always be triggered to the "ignition" position - if it trust to the end, the blocking will not happen. If the key does not put in this position, under the action of vibration, it can shift and independently turn off the operation of the steering wheel by installing it to block.

Tips of professionals

That is why it is always necessary to cranulate the key or completely remove the blocking component from the ignition lock, which will help to avoid self locking the lock and not fall into a difficult position. In the "Ignition" position, the spontaneous blocking cannot happen. Be extremely accurate when you start your vehicle and follow the key position in the ignition lock.
