Common Reasons and Fixes: Steering Wheel Lock: If your steering wheel is turned after removing the key, it can lock the ignition. Try turning the wheel left and right while gently turning the key. Gear Not in Park: In automatic vehicles, the ignition won’t activate unless the gear shift is fully in “Park” or “Neutral.” Double-check the gear position. Worn Key: Keys can wear down, especially older ones. Try a backup key or consider having a new one cut if the current one is worn.
