Ignition Switch vs. Ignition Cylinder

Many people confuse the ignition cylinder (the mechanical part you insert the key into) with the ignition switch (the electrical component behind it). They can fail independently. If your key turns but the car doesn't respond electrically, the switch is likely the culprit — not the cylinder.

We diagnose both on-site and repair whichever component has failed — or both, if needed.

Common Symptoms of a Failed Ignition Switch

Car won't start at all — key turns but nothing happens
Intermittent starting — works sometimes, not others
Accessories (radio, lights) don't power on with the key
Key turns freely but doesn't engage the starter
Electrical system behaves erratically after turning the key
