Ignition Key & Lock

Ignition Lock Issues – Somewhere along the way the ignition lock/steering column deadbolt will encounter mechanical issues such as sticking or electrical issues with the switch.

Be aware that in most cases hosing out the lock and mechanism with spray electronic parts cleaner and re-lubing it with a very little WD40 while in the dash fixes mechanical issues.  A new lock cost $1000 but your car’s lock should never ever need replacing as in the worst case it can be taken to a local automotive locksmith who can make it as good as new for a lot less than ordering a replacement from Deutschland. The ignition electrical switch attached to the back of the mechanism is an easy plug it in place part.
