Three Indicators That Your Ignition Needs Repair

The ignition is one of the most critical parts of your vehicle; without it, you can't start the engine and drive it at all. Here are a few signs that your ignition may need to be serviced as soon as possible:

• Oil Soak
The starter is most often located near the bottom of the engine, making it vulnerable to potentially being soaked by engine oil leaks or other fluids. If the starter is soaked with oil, it's important to get it fixed quickly.

• Malfunctioning Solenoid
This may be the issue when you turn the key over, and the engine won't crank.

• A Grinding Noise
If you turn the key over and hear a grinding noise, this indicates the starter drive gear may be worn out.
