Ignition Change
Ignition switches are the main component of your car’s starting and charging systems. These switches turn on these systems when a key is inserted, and also supply the power to other electronic components. If the ignition switch is damaged the vehicle won’t start or run. You can buy a replacement ignition switch from your dealer or a repair shop or try to fix it yourself. This is a complicated task, but you should check the owner’s manual or service manual for the model you have to learn more about the procedure.
To avoid damaging or electrocuting electrical components in your car, you should disconnect the battery. Based on the model the ignition switch could be bolted or have lock tabs you must press. Remove the steering wheel carefully and follow the instructions in your repair manual for removing the dash cover to access the ignition cylinder. Install the new cylinder wafer on top of the old one. It is now time to reassemble the steering wheel and dash and then reconnect the battery.
If the ignition of your car won’t turn, check to make sure that the transmission is in Park. Also, try a different key to see if it will start the starter. You can get an additional fob, but it must be activated and programed in your car for it to work.
Lost Car Keys
In the past, losing your car keys was not a big problem because you could easily find a spare key and keep it in a secure location. However as cars have become more high-tech and advanced, they’ve also come up with more sophisticated security systems, and replacing a lost key could cost more than ever.
You might require a replacement key from a dealer or locksmith depending on the kind of key that you have. Modern keys have an electronic transponder chip that needs to be programmed for the specific car. This procedure can be complex and requires a professional automotive locksmith or a dealership.
If you own a traditional double-edged car key you can replace it with a spare key from any hardware store for about $10. The best choice is to speak with an automotive locksmith, who can create a new key without your old one. They will come to you and make it on the spot. You’ll need to show proof of ownership, like your vehicle title or registration.
Check everywhere if you lose your car key. Examine your purse, pockets or coat, as well as anything else you’ve carried with you. If you’re still not able to find them, relax and try to trace your steps. If you’re not able to find them, contact the police department and report the loss.
Remote Entry System
The remote entry system allows you to lock and unlock your doors as well as open or close the trunk and the sunroof without touching your car keys. The system allows you to remotely start your car, making it more convenient and secure.
The system transmits radio frequency signals to receiver modules which regulate the various functions within your vehicle. If your remote key fob fails to function in a sudden manner, it could be a sign that the receiver modules are malfunctioning. An OBD scan tool can help identify the problem.
If the remote key fob you have not working, try replacing the battery. Make sure you choose a battery with the same voltage and size as the previous one. The most common cause of key fobs not working is an inoperative coin battery which can be repaired for less than $10.
Some of the latest Mini Coopers feature a Comfort Access System that allows you to unlock the car using your key fob, and then drive straight in. The system will automatically unlock the door and start your engine when it detects your key fob in your pocket. It will shut down when you’re inside. If you have activated this option it will also bind your seatbelt as well as shut off the power window.
Car Door Lock
If your ignition switches stop functioning properly, you could find yourself with an inoperable car. In addition to the inconvenience of not getting on your way, it could create additional issues, such as being late to pick your kids up from school or not getting to work on time. It is important to keep a locksmith ready to resolve any issue you may have with your vehicle’s lock system.
The lock for the car door consists of a button that is visible on the key fob that is linked to an actuator in the door. This actuator moves rods to move a lever inside the car door. The lever is then connected to the car’s main locking mechanism, which can be either an electronic sensor or magnets fitted with a reversible switch.
If your key fob isn’t functioning and you don’t want to purchase a new one, look at the battery first. Most fob batteries can be replaced fairly quickly, although certain models require a specific tool to remove the battery cover. Once you have the tools then replace the CR 2032 battery with an additional key fob battery, then press and hold the button to lock the fob to enable it (while making sure that the engine is off). This will correct any errors in the vehicle’s computer and make it compatible with your key.
