How To Start My Car With A Broken Ignition Switch

Car troubles can be frustrating no matter what the issue. Whether it’s a dead battery, a broken key fob, or something as simple as a car ignition switch that won’t turn, fixing these issues can be rather difficult. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to start your car with a broken ignition switch. If you find yourself in this predicament, be sure to follow our steps and you should be able to get your car started in no time at all.

What you need to do

If your car won’t start, there’s a good chance your ignition switch is broken. Before you go and spend money on a new one, try some of these methods to get your car started.

1. Try turning the key in the engine until it starts. If the car still won’t start, try cranking it with the key off first.
2. Jump start the car by connecting one battery to the positive terminal on one side of the car and connect the other battery to the negative terminal on the other side of the car.
3. Use a jump starter cable to jumperstart another vehicle or plug in an external electrical outlet to power up your car’s battery (if it has one).
4. Knock on both sides of the engine block several times with a wooden stick while trying to start your car. This will cause air bubbles to form in between metal parts that can be ignited by spark plugs when they are knocked loose and make contact with gas lines or pistons.
