What are the reasons for the manual transmission key not turning?
1 Answers
Here are the situations where the manual transmission key cannot be turned: 1. External lock cylinders such as the door lock cylinder or trunk lock cylinder: The first step is to determine whether the mechanical teeth part of the key has been fully inserted. If it is not fully inserted, it cannot be turned. If it is already fully inserted but still cannot be turned, it is necessary to contact a professional repair agency for handling. Common reasons include the lock cylinder being frozen in winter, severe dirt inside the lock cylinder, or damage to the lock cylinder itself. 2. Internal ignition switch: This situation is mostly caused by the steering wheel lock being engaged. When the steering wheel is locked, the ignition switch cannot be turned on. To unlock the steering wheel lock, one hand needs to turn the steering wheel back and forth while the other hand turns the key back and forth to unlock it.
