IGNITION BARRELS &Â DOOR LOCKS REPLACEMENT
An ignition barrel, also known as an ignition switch or key cylinder, is a component of a vehicle's ignition system responsible for initiating the engine's startup process. It is typically located on the steering column or dashboard and accepts the vehicle's ignition key. When the key is inserted and turned in the ignition barrel, it activates electrical circuits that power the vehicle's starter motor, fuel system, and other essential components, allowing the engine to start and run.
Ignition barrels can fail due to a combination of factors, including normal wear and tear, environmental conditions, and mechanical or electrical issues. Regular maintenance, lubricating the lock and prompt repairs can help prolong the lifespan of the ignition barrel and ensure reliable operation of the vehicle's ignition system.
​
Ignition barrels fail common symptoms:
1. Difficulty Starting the Engine: if you're having trouble turning the key in the ignition or the engine fails to start smoothly, it could indicate a problem with the ignition barrel.
2. Key Won't Turn: a key that gets stuck/broken in the ignition or won't turn in the ignition barrel, even after multiple attempts, suggests potential wear or damage within the mechanism.
3. Strange Noises or Feel: grinding, clicking or resistance when turning the key in the ignition barrel can indicate internal mechanical issues that require attention.
The usual suspects are: Nissan Models (Juke, Qashqai, Micra, Primastar, Pulsar), Honda Models (CR-V, Accord, Civic, Jazz), Volkswagen Models (Golf, Polo, Crafter), Ford Transit Vans (especially older models), Vauxhall Models (Astra Van, Vivaro, Antara, Insignia), Audi (A3, TT), Seat (Leon, Altea), Skoda Models (Octavia, Fabia, Superb, Yety), Citroen Models (Berlingo, Relay). Occasionally, the rest of makes and models can have ignition issues.
