Lock cylinder care and fitting
The lock cylinder turns the ignition and releases the steering column when the correct key is used, so its condition affects daily use. Over time the pins inside can wear, and a worn cylinder may feel stiff, require jiggling to turn, or let the key come out at the wrong position. Keep the key clean, avoid forcing it, and avoid carrying heavy key rings that pull on the cylinder.
Before replacing the cylinder, check the ignition switch and the key itself, since a worn key or switch can produce similar symptoms. Lock cylinders are often replaced with a matching key set, and a new cylinder should be tested in every position, including start and accessory, before the dash is reassembled. Test the cylinder with the key before returning the vehicle to regular use.
- Match the cylinder to your current key or lock
- Test all key positions before reassembly
- Check the ignition switch if the key still sticks
