86 subaru gl key won't turn ignition anymore


Recommended Posts

Also I Kindly Suggest to Spray some Lubricant inside that ignition Switch, Such as WD-40 or PB Blaster; it could help to Free a Stuck Mechanism.

 

I once had a locksmith chastise me for this (even though I hadn't done it). She said you should never do that, but instead spray silicon lube on the key itself and work the key in the ignition (several times if needed). Apparently excessive doses of petroleum based products eventually gum-up and can cause other problems as well.

 

I have always done it the way she described and have had zero problems.
