      I've got an elusive problem.
      Initially I was led to think that the problem was to do with a bad ignition switch because, first, the car turns off then runs for half a second more, when power to the engine is cut off by turning the key. However, because this only happens when the car is hot, I'm thinking it is the ignition control module inside the distributor that is on its way out.
      It is difficult to start, particularly when it's hot, and it has progressively been getting worse.
      Would love to hear anyone's comments on this.
      The car is a 91' Mitsubishi Lancer (carburettor).

    actually before you go ripping out a fuse or relay to get the engine to turn off, try pressing the brake pedal, it should kill it after key is removed, this fixes nothing and you still have an ignition issue you have to get checked asap before you get stranded but at least you can turn it off for the time being

      @officermeyer Рік тому +1

      Brake didn't work for me when mine did that and it failed to turn off about a handful of times over the 5 years I've owned it. I had to turn it back on the off 1 time, another time I had to kill it by releasing the clutch while in gear(ouch) and can't remember the other times but it freaked me out the 1st time. Now my car won't turn over. As soon as I try to start it all power goes away. I'm banking on it's the ignition. Also, I've locked myself out several times because of the ignition failing to alert me my keys were still in the ignition 🤦

      @@officermeyer dang what kinda car you got? i got a 2011 mazda3 sport and mine turns off when pressing the brake pedal when i take the key out but otherwise it runs for about a minute then auto shuts off. i was told it has to do with the electric connector to the parking brake, i dont have an electric park brake but there's a wire that goes to my park brake and they said if they disconnect that wire it will solve the issue so you can try that. as long as you have the typical mechanical parking brake it will still work but the light wont show up on your dash is all. but either way it's probably our ignitions

    Ignition switches are spring loaded and that spring can get worn out or break. Also the Lock Cylinder actually turns a squared shaft which can snap or even shatter so nothing happens when you turn the key fully clockwise.

    Hi! My radio hasn’t been turning off the last two weeks until I turn off my car (which will then cut power to it it seems, otherwise I press the radio on/off button and it just stays on). Tried to start my car today after not driving it for a week and it’s super close to starting but won’t go. Do you think it’s related to the ignition switch/radio issue? It’s a mid-90s Mitsubishi and I read that it could be related to a faulty ignition switch. I’ll probably just jump it in the meantime but curious if this might be correlated - any insight is super appreciated!

    I have a new automatic CVT car. Since I have arthritis in my hands, I can't rotate the ignition key at once from Lock to Start. Instead, I turn from Lock to ON, I release my hand and turn to start.
    Since doing like this, there is sometimes a screeching sound when I twist from ON to Start, this noise stops after I release the key and the engine starts. Even though I pay attention to release the key rigth after the engine starts.
    What do you think this problem comes from ? I suspect because of my arthritis, I turn the key too far to the Start position.
    I have had this screeching sound a couple times so far. Could it already have caused damage to the teeth on the flywhell and on the starter ?
    Thank you.

      It is possible that the screeching sound you hear when turning the key from ON to Start is caused by wear and tear on the starter and flywheel due to turning the key too far into the Start position. This can cause damage to the teeth on both components, resulting in the screeching sound. It is important to have this issue checked by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your car's components. They can also advise on any modifications or adjustments that can be made to your car to make it easier for you to start it.

      do you think this can actually happen? i have a 2003 lexus rx 300 in very good condition in which im the second owner ( i purchased from a friend original owner) about 5 weeks ago i started vehicle with my 2 year old aftermarket remote starter. the starter stayed engaged and i didn’t realize it until 10 minutes later when i went to vehicle i heard abnormal sound from engine compartment. i noticed too when i shut vehicle off and attempted to restart with key it would crank in the ACC position i replaced the starter with a remanufactured starter from my local auto part store but i was still having same issue. i took car to the remote start installer and he said everything was working as should with it which i kind of figured was true because i was also having issue with just trying to start with key itself ( kind of a test) he did tell me i had a dead cell in battery which i replaced. my alternator is fine as well. so i put another starter in (they exchanged the first reman starter) car was fine starting for about 5 days then again acted up again. so now i tried a new starter relay and it started fine for 5 days until this morning. i attempted starting with remote starter it hung up shut car off started with key and it hung up. while going to pull relay and opening hood i heard it disengage. so now im wondering COULD IT BE THE IGNITION SWITCH? seeing that it happens no matter with remote or just by trying to start with key? and as i mentioned i noticed it wanted to crank at ACC POSITION a few times. i’ve read other comments about the ignition switch can cause issues just aggravating because it happens intermittently ​@@christianarocho3904

      I have the same problem. If I don't start my jeep after a few days then the battery dies. Sometimes I know the battery is not dead because I drive it everyday but when I turn the key to start the jeep, nothing happens. It only does one click. I have to have the key in a certain position when I turn the key to start the car and that seems to work. My ASD relay switch also seems to get burned out because I have to replace it every year. So I'm thinking that the ignition switch and the ignition lock cylinder are the problem because it may not be shutting off everything after I turn the Jeep off.

    I have a 2004 Toyota Camry le 2.4. Car cranks but won't start. Had starter tested it's good. checked fuses -good. Checked wiring -good. Battery-good. The very last time it started it did start rough. After that it wouldn't start. Help please.

    Thanks for the video! This video talks about 'wiggling the key' to make some determination and that you'd provide a link to 'that' video. I looked at your video written comment/intro and found no link that describes/explains the purpose and directions for your 'wiggle the key' recommendation. Would you kindly provide that link in question with your reply? Tks.

    I have a 08 Buick lacrosse the key keeps getting stuck everytime I try to start it, it will not crank either, It only clicks. I replaced the starter and the battery nothing worked. I really don’t wanna sell it but I need to know what to do asap. None of the lights come on either the only way to get the key out is by getting a jump from another car but then it won’t even start still.

    My 2016 Jeep Patriot is just lately experiencing a problem but not every time I think it's the ignition switch but this symptom isn't mentioned in this video. I turn the key to start and it cranks fast but doesn't attempt to start. I release the key to run and it continues to crank. I turn the key to off and it stops cranking. It doesn't do this every time but I think it's a symptom of a failing ignition switch or key assembly. Any thoughts?

    Hi. I can take my FOBIK out(2009 RAM) while driving, or parked, and the truck will keep running, but I can't, as you say, turn it to the off position and have it keep running, so I'm not quite sure what to think... Is this basically the same problem, the ignition switch, or is this also rare, and it's own problem?? I have full power, but no crank, no clicks, nothing happens, but if I hold the FOBIK against the spring, it eventually just starts. Maybe 30 secs, maybe 5 mins...
    I had ruled out the ignition module, because using the remote start, same thing, no start, and messages - 'disabled the remoter starter' and 'system fault'. But I watched this video, cz I've never been 100% about anything. Maddening
    Tia, Peace

If I stop the car in parking lot then go to buy drink in 7 Eleven, when I come back , I can't start the engine ! No crank , no sound ... ! But if i wait about 1 hour , I can start engine again ! I have 2 choice : wait 1 hour for the engine cool down to start or request help for other car to give a jump cable to start engine . I only change the alternator , the starter , the battery , the starter relay but the same problem happened ! Do you think I need to replace ignition switch ? Please help !

    Idk what to do fam. I turn the key and it turns on the accessories in my car but my car won’t start until I turn it off and on several times. I just had the entire ignition replaced because we thought it might of been this or a bad lock cylinder but even with everything brand new, IT IS STILL DOING IT. Battery and alternator both checked out and passed their tests so they’re fine. Idk what else it could be. Maybe the starter? My car will eventually start but it takes like 2-4 times of putting the key in, turning it, and taking it back out for it to actually start.
