STEERING WHEEL AND IGNITION CYLINDER

Have you ever wondered why your car’s steering wheel won’t turn when the key isn’t in the ignition? Your car’s ignition cylinder is connected to the steering wheel lock. These two are connected so that thieves cannot steal your vehicle.

If you turn off your engine with the steering wheel turned or turn the steering wheel after turning off the engine, the steering wheel may lock and make it, so you cannot turn on the machine again.

IGNITION SWITCH

The Ignition switch is connected to the ignition cylinder by a lever inside your car. There are serval critical electrical systems connected that are needed to start your vehicle inside the ignition switch. Heavily worn ignition switch contacts, broken springs, and temperature problems can all cause your ignition switch to fail. This can also be a reason that your car won’t start.
