Steering Lock
The steering lock is a security feature that prevents your Ignis from being stolen when it's in gear. It's an important safety measure however it can be frustrating when you have to go somewhere and you can't unlock the wheel. Fortunately, there are some simple things you can do to fix the problem.
First, make sure the ignition switch is set to "on". If you're sure, try to turn the key in the direction you turned before the wheel became locked. It can be a bit difficult, but it's enough to unlock the wheels.
If the wheel still doesn't unlock You can spray a little of canned air into the ignition cylinder in order to lubricate it. Wear eye protection to prevent getting cannisters of air in your face. Liquid graphite is also a good option to make the cylinder more lubricated.
If none of them work you'll have to replace the ignition assembly. This part is readily available in any auto parts shop. Just ensure you buy an identical replacement and compare it to the original before you attempt to install it. Uncover the ignition to view the entire assembly.
Worn
The steering lock could cause the ignition switch to become stuck. This is a safety feature designed to prevent your Ignis from spinning away while the engine is running. If this happens, manipulating the steering wheel will free it.
As time passes the Ignis keys wear out and become harder to turn. This isn't as common as a defective ignition switch, but it could occur. If this is the case, you should change your ignition key.
Examine if there is anything that hinders your Ignis ignition key from gaining access to the cylinder. There could be debris or dirt that could get stuck in the ignition cylinder, preventing it from turning.
You could also try a little lubricant to see whether it will help. There are a variety of lubricant available to purchase, so take a look around your garage or an auto parts store in your area to find one that is able to work.
A silicon "glow-in-the-dark" key cover is a different option. These covers absorb light and release it when in murky or dark conditions. They also shield your key from wear and tear. They are available for a majority of suzuki key cutting models, and can be purchased online or from a nearby suzuki ignis key fob not working dealership.
Bent
Keys can be bent over time. The teeth of the keys may not be able to engage with lock cylinders in the same way. This can stop the key from turning. In this situation you'll need to replace the key. It is a good plan to duplicate your spare key and store it in a secure location.
The cylinder of ignition can wear out. The lock pins in the internal lock can become stuck or stuck together, preventing the key from going through or out of the cylinder. This can be resolved by replacing the cylinder, but it is best to replace the cylinder prior to the key becomes stuck in the ignition.
If your Ignis key is still stuck after trying the easiest fixes It could be the right time to try lubricating your cylinder. Graphite powder or liquid graphite could aid in moving the lock pins more freely and unbind your key. This can be found in most auto parts stores. When applying the lubricant, make sure your Ignis is in park and don't try to pull it out of its bind it. This could lead to more serious issues.
Broken
If you have tried all of the easier ways to make a key unstick, but it's still refusing to move, the final option is to apply oil to move it. You can buy some of this at your local auto parts store and apply it to the inside of the ignition lock cylinder with a cotton ball or a rag. Move the key back and forth gently to spread the lubricant around and then try again. You can try to massage it forward, but take care not to press too hard, as you could damage the cylinder.
The internal circuitry of the key can be unable to function due to wear and tear. This isn't as frequent and you'll have to make a duplicate key.
Finally, the case of your suzuki swift keyless entry key fob could get damaged or worn. This is most likely if you are using an imitation key fob that is made of plastic or rubber shell.
