A computer is nothing without a CPU; a TV is nothing without a display screen. For cars, it’s the ignition system. No matter how expensive or luxurious your car is, if the ignition doesn’t work, you won’t be able to drive.
Ignition switch malfunctions exist on a spectrum. On one extreme, you have a completely broken-down ignition system that needs to be replaced. On the other, you have a range of subtle issues. The car may start, but its dashboard lights may flicker, or the engine may stop suddenly during acceleration.
Either way, it’s important to get a faulty ignition switch repaired, and that’s what we specialize in at Locksmith Contact. We diagnose different signs of a malfunctioning ignition and either repair it or perform a replacement, depending on its condition.

We Repair and Change Ignition Switches of All Types
- Key Ignition Switch ReplacementMechanical ignition switches mostly exist in older vehicles. You turn a key in the ignition and the engine starts. We inspect problems in key-operated ignition systems and repair or replace them as needed.
- Transponder Key Ignition RepairThese systems use a transponder chip that communicates with the car’s ignition to turn it on. We fix common issues in transponder ignition systems like signal problems, programming faults, and so on.
- Keyless Ignition System ReplacementMost modern cars use remote keyless fobs to start the car, but oftentimes the ignition fails to detect the fob. Whether it’s because of battery issues, ECU malfunctions, or any other reason, we fix it accordingly.
- Electronic Ignition Switch RepairElectronic ignition systems lack mechanical components, making them more durable than key ignition systems. We look into performance issues stemming from ignition coils, spark plugs, and other sources.

Not Sure When to Fix Ignition Switch? Look Out for These Red Flags
A car engine not starting at all even after repeated attempts is the last stage of ignition malfunction. There are several ‘red flags’ to look out for before that stage takes place. If you spot any of these signs, consider calling an automotive locksmith like Locksmith Contact immediately:
- The key feels loose inside the ignition, and you have to turn it multiple times to start the car. This is a sign of a damaged ignition cylinder that needs to be fixed.
- The car starts after a few attempts, but it stalls, and the car stops. This is especially dangerous as it can cause brake failures and lead to a life-threatening accident.
- The electrical components of your car, like dashboard lights, radio system, power windows, or AC, are either not working at all or only working intermittently.
- You don’t hear any clicking or grinding sound at all when you turn the key in the ignition. This usually means there’s insufficient power supply to the ignition.
- Your smart key fob doesn’t detect the car or gives an error message even when you’re near the car, signaling a programming or synchronization problem.
- Cars usually display warning lights on the dashboard in red and yellow. They may flicker when there's a problem with your ignition or other components.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fix the ignition on the spot, or do I need to tow my car first?
Locksmith Contact is a mobile locksmith, which means that you don’t have to tow your car or go to a physical location to use our services. All you need to do is contact us and share your exact location. We’ll come to you and fix your car’s ignition on the spot.
How long does it take for you to fix the ignition system?
The time taken to fix the ignition system depends on the model and make of the car, as well as the extent of the damage. In most cases, we are done with an ignition repair or replacement within 30-90 minutes.
Will I need a new key after the ignition is repaired?
In most cases, you don’t necessarily need a new key after the ignition is repaired or replaced. We rekey the ignition to work with your original key. Otherwise, we simply cut a new key that is compatible with the ignition.
My key broke inside the ignition. Can you help?
Keys can snap inside the ignition, but you don’t need to worry. We have the tools to safely extract the broken piece and fix your damaged ignition as well.
