My ignition won't start on my Chevy Impala, how do I fix it?

Answer by  ryboyd323 (21)

If your ignition on your Chevy will not work the first thing you should do is check your battery. If your battery is low or dead the car will not start. I would recommend jumping your car with another and/or replacing your battery. Any service station will do.

First check battery for charge and if battery is good. If thats not the answer check the starter next by tapping on it while turning engine over.

If you can't turn your key, you may need to replace the key cylinder. If it is the spark, check your distributor cap and then your ignition coil. They cap is easy to replace while the other two possibilities are a bit harder.

There could be several different issues you are dealing with here. You may need a new tumbler for you ignition, a new battery, or a new stater.

You have to figure out what is the problem is first. IS the lock cylinder broken, is the started getting power, is the battery dead? Start there first.

The first thing to check is the fuse. Then check to make sure the neutral safety switch works. Then finally check to see if you need a new ignition switch.
