What to Do When the Car Key Is Hard to Insert?
1 Answers
There are several solutions when the car key is hard to insert: 1. Check if there are any foreign objects inside the keyhole and whether the key is deformed or damaged. You can try lubricating it with some pencil lead powder. If it still doesn't work, consider replacing the lock. 2. Check if the steering wheel is locked. The car's automatic anti-theft system may automatically lock the steering wheel within a certain range. 3. If the key cannot be inserted, it is likely because the steering wheel is locked. While turning the key, gently move the steering wheel, which should usually unlock it. If it still doesn't work, the issue might be a damaged lock cylinder or spring, and you may need to visit an auto repair shop to replace the lock cylinder.
