Want this question answered?
all cars start of with matching locks/ignition and key so the ignition or locks must have been changed
No, door locks & trunk-one key; Ignition- different key; I know-I have one
Graphite works well in lubricating key operated locks such as, pad locks, door locks and ignition locks.
If the locks have not been changed, 1 key should operate all locks on the vehicle.
Your ignition also locks your steering and at times you need to move the steering wheel a little and at the same turn your ignition key. Then you should be able to turn the key and start the engine. Hal
Should be the same key. But people change locks sometimes.
Usually you have replace the ignition key cylinder.
The ignition key should open the door locks - unless the doorlock has been changed
I have a 2001 Nissan quest,recently my door locks are malfunction,when I pull the door in it locks,when key in ignition it locks,what cause this problem?
AnswerIf the key will rotate in the door locks, but not in the ignition switch then the key is not going in all the way due to debris in there, the steering wheel lock is binding the ignition lock (fix by rocking wheel back and forth while turning key) or mechanical failure of lock internals.
When i bought my thunderbird the key to the ignition didnt fit the door locks so i had to replace the locks. That might be the best answer. :]
Try pulling one way or the other on the steering wheel while turning key. Sometimes if wheels aren't straight when you shut the car off, the wheel locks with pressure on pin preventing key from turning.
