Remove the screws that are holding the electrical part (the part with the wires) and the mechanical part of the ignition switch together. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the key hole and turn in the same direction as you would your key. This will start your car.
How do you shave a car key?
Shaved keys can be made easily with the aid of any metal grinder or handheld file. In fact, many criminals will simply grind the key down on the edge of a sidewalk or rock. This method is just as effective-providing they can get the key thin enough to "jiggle" into the car's ignition.
How do I get a replacement car key without the original?
An experienced locksmith will be able to make a replacement key for you even if you do not have the original. When you contact a locksmith, you'll need to give the company some information about the key, and then they will likely be able to help you replace it.
Can you replace an ignition switch yourself?
Proper testing should always be done prior to replacing the ignition switch. If you have further issues, or if you are not comfortable replacing the switch yourself, a certified mechanic from YourMechanic can replace your ignition switch for you.
What is the difference between an ignition switch and ignition cylinder?
The ignition lock cylinder and ignition switch are not the same thing. The lock cylinder is the mechanical tumbler your key slides into; the switch is the electrical portion that sends power to the vehicle. On many cars, these are two separate components that can be repaired individually.
Can you bypass a ignition lock cylinder?
Bypassing a broken ignition switch is quite a technical procedure that will require a little more than just a manual and a keen sense of learning. The best case scenario is that you take your car to a professional to handle it or simply just replace the switch. Keep in mind Oznium does not sell ignition switches.
