Symptoms of a faulty steering lock motor
As already mentioned, the main sign of an ignition problem is an obvious one: your car doesn’t start when you turn the key!
If you’re turning the key in the ignition and nothing is happening—no dash lights, and no sound from the steering lock—then you’ve likely got a fault with the steering lock motor.
Importantly, while the issue remains unaddressed, you won’t be able to start your vehicle so it will remain immobile.
