Transponder keys are extremely beneficial for preventing auto theft. They are the first line of defense against vehicle theft and assist in keeping cars safe from thieves. The antenna in the ignition cylinder transmits a signal to the transponder chip that is embedded in the head made of plastic. The computer in the vehicle then checks the data against a stored profile of an authorized key and allows it to start.
It is important to understand that not all recycled transponder chips are compatible with every compatible vehicle. Some are locked, which means that they only work with certain types, makes and years. The plastic head of the car keys will include a molded symbol, part number, identifying character or key code stamped on it to show the type of vehicle it is compatible with.

With the press of one button, you will be in a position to open and start the car. These systems are useful, but they can fail and require expensive replacement parts.

Ignition Locks
The ignition locks are an anti-theft device to stop thieves from taking your vehicle. When you put your keys in the ignition lock you are telling your car's integrated system of security that you have the original keys and can start the vehicle. The system will keep the vehicle locked until you remove the ignition switch from its lock position using the original keys or replace it with a brand new one.
Although they may appear to be indestructible to some individuals, the ignition switches in automobiles aren't immune from the effects of time and malfunction. A common cause for problems is a worn spring or pin. These parts can wear out over years of use and it is difficult to know the time to replace them.
You could be able to restore it back to normal operation by disassembling the ignition and lubricating all moving components. You will need to remove the steering wheel as well as disconnect the battery. This will require a special steering wheel puller. You'll need a screwdriver with a tip that has a tiny tip in order to press the release pin on the base of the switch.
