It depends on what kind of car you have. If the key fits in the steering column and you have an air bag, take it to a garage as yu can deploy an air bag accidentally which most cost around$1000
Call a locksmith. They have the tools necessary to take the lock apart and pop the key out. Or at least they have the tools to pull the key out - perhaps without taking anything apart.
You broke it.
Drill it. Or call a locksmith and have them do it. They may be able to pull the broken key out.
The key to my ignition broke off in the ignition. Luckily, I was able to insert the remainder of the key in the ignition and turn on my car. In order to fix the problem, I had to take my car to the dealer and I am pretty sure they removed it and installed a new ignition "key hole" keyed to my car. It is a 1990, and I believe the problem happened approx 1993?
A locksmith may be able to remove the broke key and make a new one. Or just replace the ignition.
If the key is broken off in the ignition of the 96 Crown Victoria it will have to be picked out. If the key is out and broken, a locksmith can use the broken pieces to make a new key or rekey the ignition.
I propose getting a new key. If you broke it off in the ignition, well, your best chance is to take it to a lock smith or the dealer. Maybe if you take the broken key to the dealer, they can give you a new one. I am not sure on this though.
Is this in a Ford? LOL have to take column apart and replace the ignition tumbler assy
Well, it sounds like the chip that is in your key may have broke or got stuck on a part of the ignition. I had that problem. This happened not long after I had had to have the ignition replaced?!?
Do you have the original ignition key?? Tape the old ignition key to the cowling around the ignition, then put new key in the ignition and see if it will run. The reason for this is there is a transponder chip in the old key that needs to be picked up by the rim module around the ignition barrel. If it works, take keys apart and swap transponder chip . Hope this helps
How can I take out the key from the ignition key in a BMW 325i 2001. I can turn on the engine but the key doesn't come out when I turn off.
I hope the key is not broke inside of the ignition. If it is you will need more than a key replacement. But to have your key replaced all you need to do is find a local hardware store. Even with just the broke key they can do a replacement.
