Automotive Ignition Repair & Steering Lock Services

Mr Ignition specialises in diagnosing and repairing vehicle ignition and steering lock faults. Modern vehicles rely on both mechanical ignition parts and electronic security systems before the engine will start.

If one of these systems fails, the vehicle may refuse to start even though the battery and key appear to be working normally. Our technicians provide specialist diagnostics and repair services for ignition barrels, steering lock modules and vehicle security systems.

Ignition Barrel Replacement

If your key becomes difficult to turn or gets stuck in the ignition, the ignition barrel may be worn or damaged. Ignition barrels contain small internal pins that recognise the shape of the key and these components gradually wear over time.

• Key will not turn in ignition
• Key stuck in ignition
• Ignition feels loose
• Vehicle will not start

We provide professional ignition barrel replacement services for many vehicle makes and models.

Steering Lock Repair

Electronic steering lock systems are fitted to many modern vehicles as part of the security system. When the steering lock fails the ignition may not activate and the vehicle will not start.

• Steering wheel remains locked
• Steering lock warning on dashboard
• Vehicle recognises key but will not start
• Clicking noise from steering column

Our technicians diagnose steering lock faults and provide professional repair solutions.

ESL / ELV Steering Lock Emulator Programming

Electronic Steering Lock (ESL / ELV) faults are common in many modern vehicles. When the internal motor or electronics fail the vehicle security system may prevent the engine from starting.

We specialise in ESL emulator programming which can provide a cost-effective alternative to replacing the entire steering column.

Ignition Switch Replacement

The ignition switch controls electrical power to several vehicle systems including the starter motor and dashboard electronics.

• Dashboard lights but engine not starting
• Electrical accessories failing
• Vehicle not responding when key is turned

We provide professional ignition switch replacement services.

Broken Key Extraction

Vehicle keys occasionally break inside the ignition due to wear or metal fatigue. Removing a broken key without the correct tools may damage the ignition barrel.

We provide specialist broken key extraction to safely remove damaged keys.
