Steering Lock
The steering lock is a security measure which prevents your Ignis being stolen when it's in gear. It's a helpful safety feature, but it can be annoying when you're in a hurry and are unable to unlock your wheel. Fortunately, there are simple things you can do to solve the issue.
The first step is to make sure that the ignition switch is in the "on" position. If this is the case, try turning the key in the same direction as you did before the wheel became locked. It can be a bit difficult, but generally it's enough to unlock the wheels.
If the wheel doesn't unlock after spraying canned air in the ignition cylinder, you can grease the cylinder. Wear eye protection to avoid getting canned air in your face. Liquid graphite may also work to provide lubrication to the cylinder.
If none of these strategies work, you'll need to replace the ignition lock assembly. This part is easy to find at any auto parts store. Make sure you purchase an exact replacement and then compare it with your old one. Remove the cover on the ignition to reveal the ignition assembly.
Worn
The steering lock can cause the ignition switch to get stuck. This is a safety feature that is designed to stop your Ignis from moving away while the engine is running. If this happens you can detach the steering wheel by manipulating it.
Over time the Ignis keys wear out and become harder to turn. It might not occur as frequently as a damaged switch, but it does happen. If this is the situation, you should replace your ignition switch.
Also, see if there is obstructions to your Ignis key from entering the ignition cylinder. Sometimes, there could be dirt or debris that could be trapped inside and prevent the key from turning in the way it is supposed to.
You could also try a little lubricant to see if it helps. There are many different types of lubricant available to purchase, so take a look around your garage or go to an auto parts store in your area to find one that can work.
Another option is to use the silicon "glow in the dark" key cover. These covers absorb light energy and release it in murky or dark conditions. They also protect your key from wear and tear. These are available for many suzuki sx4 key replacement - visit here, models and can be purchased either online or at an suzuki vitara replacement key dealership near you.
Bent
In time and over time, with repeated use, keys can be bent. This can cause the teeth on the key to not engage with the lock cylinder in the same way and stop the key from turning the ignition. If this happens the key suzuki needs to be replaced. If you have spare keys, it's best to have it duplicated and put it in a safe spot.
Another reason is that the cylinder for ignition itself could wear out. If the lock pins within get stuck or snagged together the cylinder may be unable to allow keys from going completely into or out of the cylinder. The replacement of the cylinder may solve this problem, but it's better to do it before the key gets stuck in the ignition to avoid further damage.
If your Ignis key is still stuck after trying the easiest fixes It could be the right time to consider lubricating the cylinder. Graphite powder or liquid graphite may aid in moving the lock pins more freely, and also free your key. This is available at most auto parts shops. Make sure that you put your Ignis in park before applying the lubricant. Do not try to manipulate the Ignis in order to release it from its binding. This could cause more serious problems.
Broken
If you've tried everything else to unstick a key and it doesn't work the key, your final option is to try some fluid. You can buy this lubricant from a local auto parts store and apply it with either a cotton swab, or cloth to the inside of the lock cylinder. Move the key back and forth gently to spread the lubricant and then try again. You can try rubbing it forward but be careful not to press too hard, as you could break it in the cylinder.
It is also possible that the key's internal circuitry can become unresponsive over time. This isn't as common and usually means that you'll need to get the key duplicated to make room for an entirely new one.
The case of your suzuki flip key keyfob can also become damaged or worn. This is more prevalent when you are using a cheap keyfob that is a replica with the shell being made of plastic or rubber. The Key Crew may be capable of transferring the internal circuitry from the old keyfob to an alternative case based on the situation. This will save you the cost of buying a new keyfob.
