Does the ignition key turns hard when you try to start?
If yes, you will propably need electrical portion of the ignition switch .This is very common thing,very easy to replace.

It sounds like you have a faulty ignition lock that you'll need to replace. If the contact from the ignition lock that sends a signal to your ecu is slipping or whatever it is not cutting off the power flow to your computer which will in turn stop the power to your ignition system. Get a new lock and key and problem solved.

hi, sometimes this is easy. put key in ignition turn key to IGNITION. DO'nt START IT. leave ignition ON for 3 seconds. then turn OFF . take key OUT of IGNITION wait 3 seconds and replace ignition key turn key to ignition. this is key recognition. some cars do and some cars do'nt. try this. gerry

if this is the case insert key now look under the columb see the hole under the ignition insert a screw driver in there a square screw driver with the key in the ignition tap the end of the screw driver up toward the ignition every once and a while try turning the key once you can turn the key press the screw driver into the hole as you turn it will go in further at this point pull the whole ignition out with the key

The Ignition Switch and the Key Cylinder are 2 entirely different things. If the key wont turn, find a Locksmith. The ignition switch is under the lower column cover and should be easy to replace.

Turn steering wheel left and right slightly and turn key at the same time but donot force the key to turn, but usual the steering lock has jamed in the lockout part so take it easy..

Your car uses a transonder key, a key with a small chip embedded inside. The transponder is matched to the immobilizer unit in your car. When the key is inserted into the ignition, the immobilizer searches for that transponder, if it's not near the ignition, the car will just keep turning over and not start. Your only real options are to replace the steering lock or buy a transponder bypass unit, which I do not recommend. Just do a google search.

I work at jeep and this is very common. you need a new ignition lock cylinder. easy repair but you need to buy it from a dealer and bring the key and lock cylinder to a locksmith to get it coded
