Are you experiencing strange issues when it comes to your vehicle’s ignition system? Is your vehicle having a hard time starting up when you turn your key, or does it stall at random intervals? Before you jump to the conclusion that the issue is a problem with your engine, consider your ignition cylinder switch. If your vehicle has a keyless entry system, this wouldn’t be the case, but if it uses physical locks and keys, then it may be a consideration. This is especially true if a problem with your engine itself has been ruled out.
An ignition cylinder switch is a part that fits into your steering column. When you insert your key into the ignition lock, it activates the ignition switch, which then sends the signal to your engine to start up. Ignition cylinder switches can wear down over time, especially if a car is used on a daily basis for many years. A heavy key ring is a known culprit for warping ignition cylinders. If the teeth on your key are damaged and you insert it into your lock, that can cause significant damage to the wafers and pins inside the lock mechanism. Sometimes the issue is one of wiring, as well.
