Have you ever had difficulty moving the car key when trying to start the engine? Of course, this can not happen with cars that have a push button or an electronic key, but for the rest of us who still use the keys of old cars, the ignition key may be worrying. No one wants to damage the car or break the key while trying to move it, So what can you do to make the key turn and then start the car?
The car has a wheel lock that closes when the car key comes out of the engine to prevent burglars from driving if they try to operate it by connecting wires. In fact, nothing can stop a thief from stealing, but car manufacturers usually add this feature To deter burglars and discourage them from the idea, the steering wheel lock may have been placed in the right place when the vehicle is turned off which prevents the key from being able to open the lock and thus the inability to operate the vehicle.
In this case, the solution is easy; all you have to do is rotate the steering wheel slightly in any direction while moving the key in the engine to start up. In other words, twist the wheel slightly while turning the key gently, and if the key moves inside, the problem is resolved.
Again, this solution applies only to cars that have a traditional operation key, ie the metal key inserted and rolled until the car starts, and if you have an electronic key, you will not experience this problem. If your car has a power button, Its stuck, you'll need to go to the repair shop because it is probably an electronic problem and does not have a simple solution.
Other ways to rotate the power switch
Check the gears. There is another reason why the engine does not start when the key is inside the car because the car may be in a different position. Some vehicles with automatic transmission do not enable the key to rotate unless in corner position or disassembly mode, Corner before attempting to move the key.
