If you experience a problem with your vehicle’s ignition, you may encounter some unexpected issues after replacement. According to one user’s experience, a Renault Clio 3 model car faced a no-start problem after ignition switch replacement.
The user explained the situation as follows:
“My vehicle is a Renault Clio MK3, plate number 65. The old ignition barrel was broken, so I bought a new ignition barrel and a new key. I still have the old key. However, after the replacement, although all the lights turned on, the car wouldn’t crank and the engine wouldn’t start. Can anyone help?”
In such a case, it can be confusing that all electrical systems work, but the engine does not turn over. However, the solution was quite simple!
Solution: Change the Key Blade
The user later shared the following solution:
“Thanks everyone for your help. The vehicle is working now. The problem was that I just needed to change the key blade.”
That is, the new key needed to be used with the old key’s blade, not its own. Because the immobilizer system worked in compatibility with the transponder chip in the old key. Therefore, by only changing the blades, the problem was solved, and the vehicle started working smoothly.
Summary
If you also see that your Renault Clio 3 model vehicle does not crank after ignition replacement, be sure to pay attention to the key blade and immobilizer compatibility. With a small change, you can avoid a big repair cost.
