car starts without key
My guess would be a defective ignition switch.
Check your wiring, also the connections on the starting motor.
If the Car didn't start with the key turning the ignition then the car was "hotwired" to turn the Car on.If the key did not start the car, how was it started.
the only way to start a car when the remote key is dead is to start it by putting the key into the ignition.
Getting a car to start without using the key is called hot wiring the car, however the process is far more difficult than it used to be, if not impossible. Many new cars have keys that have circuit boards in them that only allow the car to start if they are connected to the ignition.
The ignition cylinder is the part you turn your key in to start the car, this is in its housing.
Well you put the key in the ignition and you turn it.
No, you cannot use an ignition key without a chip on a 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette. This vehicle is equipped with a transponder key system, which requires a key that has a chip programmed to the car to start the engine. Using a non-chipped key will not allow the ignition to engage, preventing the vehicle from starting.
Make sure you have the right key because the door key will turn the ignition but won't start the car.
No, You do not need a key fob to start a car. When starting a car, you put the key in the ignition and turn. Power comes from car battery, not from the key fob battery!
You put the key in the ignition and turn, you don't need a fob in order to start a car.
you will need to get it checked ASAP, jut in case it really does start and drive away by itself
