Assess a sticking, worn, or damaged mechanical ignition before choosing repair or replacement.
Difficulty turning a key can involve the key or the cylinder. Explain whether the key is stuck, will not insert fully, or turns without the expected result. Keep a spare available because its behavior may help identify the problem.
A mechanical ignition repair does not automatically fix an electrical starting fault or a push-button system.
