Some Lincoln Continental owners report experiencing issues with their ignition keys not functioning, which may be attributed to a binding steering column or lock, a faulty ignition switch, or problems with the ignition key itself. Additionally, some owners find that their key fob is unresponsive due to a dead battery, water damage, or fob failure, with dead batteries being a frequent culprit. If the Intelligent Access key is not working, it is crucial to ensure it is inserted correctly with the buttons facing out and the key ring up, followed by using the Start/Stop ignition button and brake pedal to start the vehicle. Moreover, factors such as a worn-out key, misaligned transmission, or issues with the ignition lock can lead to the key getting stuck in the ignition. Diagnosing these problems promptly is essential for effective resolution and to prevent recurrence.
