Nissan ignition problems

Switching the ignition on and off thousands of times during your Nissan Pathfinder lifetime is an extensive bottle-neck to the condition and the worning out of your Nissan ignition switch. Problems such as ignition key fails to turn, broken key in ignition cylinder, hard to turn the key, key is freely turning in the keyhole or maybe the engine won't crank with some security lights a blinking on the dashboard are common on Nissan Pathfinder like any other vehicle manufacturer on the market and repairing for this might be one of two ways:

1. The first thing to try is to use a spare key (hopefully you have one). Many times the key is bent, worn down, drowned in water or dropped down hard on the ground and using your backup might solve the problem. If the key is bear out, the best way to go is to create a new key based on the VIN to avoid copying the flew key into the duplicate one.
2. If this is an ignition malfunction, it might be repairable by cleaning the keyhole from dust or dirt, strengthening of the pin tumblers, rekey the ignition and sometimes the whole ignition need to be replaced.
