What Are the Reasons Why the Key of a Manual Transmission Car Cannot Be Pulled Out?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons why the key of a manual transmission car cannot be pulled out: The key cannot be turned after insertion: This is usually because after parking and turning off the engine, the steering wheel was accidentally turned left or right, or the wheels were not aligned properly when parking. The force applied causes the steering wheel to rotate, triggering the steering wheel's self-locking function. You can gently turn the key with your right hand while simultaneously moving the steering wheel left and right with your left hand, and the key will then turn. Ignition switch failure: This can cause the car key to not be pulled out. In this case, the ignition switch needs to be replaced. The key cannot be pulled out after turning off the engine: The reason for this is that the gear is in the P position and does not touch the electronic sensor, or there are objects such as coins in the gear slot blocking it from returning to position. The car owner should check if there are any obstructions in the gear slot, remove them, start the car, shift the gear again to ensure it is fully returned to position, and then the key can be pulled out.
