Why Can the Key Be Inserted but Not Turn to Open the Door?
1 Answers
Mechanical keys can be inserted into the lock but fail to turn and open the door, possibly due to the following reasons: 1. Vehicle fuel system issue: The vehicle's fuel system needs to be inspected. 2. Vehicle electrical circuit issue: The vehicle's electrical circuit needs to be checked. 3. Activation of the steering wheel auto-lock function: The steering wheel locks because it was not straightened or was turned when the car was last parked, triggering the auto-lock function. This causes the steering lock pin to engage with the steering column, making it impossible to turn the key even with force. This is a common anti-theft feature in most cars. To resolve this, place one hand on the steering wheel and use the other hand to turn the car key back and forth, and the car will start quickly.
