You Sir, are are a gentleman and a scholar. A gift from God I'd say. This video is what enabled me to complete the process of fixing my wife's Pilot. She is over the moon and I'd say she's pretty much enamored with me this evening 😁. I cannot thank you enough 🙏

They fail because they are engineered to fail. They could have kept using the brass core key and you wouldn’t have this problem but then the dealers couldn’t charge to repair it. I have no doubt all the manufacturers design things to fail.

I just changed it .it cranks up starts up 1 seconds later shuts off😢 why

A good 😊video helped me understand more about lo ignition locks.

l olso got these problem in my car honda civic

Thanks. I was able to use your video to help a friend. I ended up leaving all the tumblers out. He couldn't afford a rekeying.

There is so many videos on this yours is the only one thats to the point and professional awesome info thank you

How easy did you take off that pin 🤯

if the steering wheel is locked will the cylinder come out?

Great video on how to get the key cylinder out of the housing assembly. That drill bit tip works great to get the roll pin out. The other tip with the pick tool worked great too. I just remove the tumblers and the springs and put the key cylinder back together. It still has the chip in the key. You still can’t start it without the key. It’s just as secure as push button start now. The other feature now, You can take the key out and leave the engine run and lock the doors and go in the store. I took mine apart before it actually totally screwed up. The key cylinder was starting to not want to turn. I figured that was my two minute warning I better fix it before it leaves me sit somewhere.

Hi, I have a 2008 Honda element I put lube into the key slot. The key starts just fine my problem was that the fob no longer worked. I tried to program the fob like shown on KZbin and it still wouldn’t work. Any insight what my next step should be would be appreciated. Thanks

great video !😆🔥❤

Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 you save my day

Thank you!!!!

Thanks,especially for the information about the housing steering lock thingy I hope to god that doesn’t happen to me.

That trick with the roll pin is amazing, god I wish I could get my drill bit in the same spot and do that . 😂

Thank You tremendously for amazing insight & a glimmer of hope in getting my 2004 Acura tl started again !

thanks!!!

I am new to all this so I have a question about this fix. Is it cheaper to replace the ignition vs having it rebuilt.

Can you show exactly where to drill behind the electric switch, To unlock the steering wheel locking blade without removing housing? I have my Ridgeline stuck on the side of the road, trying you do the repair.

16:55 this has happened to my 1999 civic ej, the locking blade is on/up.and key wont turn. Has any one got a video that shows where to drill, or how to sort it out

Thank you SO MUCH, sir. 16:30 was my issue, this is the second time I change the ignition switch and got blocked again. The first time I had the car to the locksmith thinking it was the lock cylinder, but not sure how the ignition switch was related with the failure, at the point that I thought it was coincidence. Obviously, the folks from the locksmith did not say what the actual problem was. The second time it got blocked I was so mad, it could not be a coincidence anymore, your video saved me money.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I've found other videos on fixing the tumbler but I still couldn't get it to work when I got it back together! 16:31 of your video was EXACTLY what I needed!!!

What are you picking with the pick tool a little lost is there a model number for I can see the diagram. Thanks for anybody with clues

Excellent video Thank You. As others have said, thank you for informing of certain housing issue where steering lock stud needs depressing @15:30. I could have made the same mistake even with a replacement part that I would not need to buy. (Now have to guess where to drill a hole and try hold down while in car, or remove the break-off bolt and related effort)

Excellent video! Thank you for taking the time to explain and to show.

Hello i have issue where after i switched the ignition switch my steering wheel and my key wont turn. Whats the most likely issue id like to point out my battery was disconnected before removing ignition switch.

After watching this video I googled his name and contacted him. I sent my lock to him and he rebuilt it and cut a new key. Often the old key won’t work with the new wafers. I got it back and installed it and It works great. I cannot say enough about his great service. The cost was 1/4 of what a new lock set would have been installed and programmed by a shop.

what lubricant do you use?

I do have a question. Did you make a video showing which way the wafers went into each slot...i.e. top/bottom or left side/right side. Honda just rebuilt my ignition for nearly $1000.00 Canadian. It just sounds ridiculous to me now that I've watched a few KZbin videos after the fact.

Where is the code for a 08 civic ignition key cylinder. Thank u

thank you, the blade was stuck.. key was stuck till the end. now works. 209k miles accord,

Thank you for the end, around the 16 minute mark, discussing the steering column lock mechanism and pushing it in beyond flush. That was exactly my issue after removing some of the lock wafers. You saved me a lot of money, time, and frustration!

Really really helpful, thanks a million. Especially the tip about depressing the blade below flush, because indeed I had removed the key module with the key in place.

Hey, what size drillbit was that that you drill that out with? I've got everything lined up.

ahhhh yes the neandrathal with the vise grips.... lol. I just had to replace a HON77 Honda motorcycle gas cap and ignition after one of those clowns tried to impression it with an HD109

😊

Love the info. I'm a little stumped on decoding the message On the tumbler housing,for the wafers. How do I know which one goes where?

Anyone know where to drill under the ignition switch to access the steering wheel lock?

Thank you!!!!! You could have stopped at 15:30, but that last bit about the issue with some sets saved my lock from the bin. Much appreciated

This is a wonderful guide to repairing the lock cylinder, Thank you. In my case the key just doesn't enter the barrel. And i dont have a master key. Any workaround ?

I removed my lock in a 2003 Pilot and started to pull out wafers that were stuck when they all fell out is this the reason I have the green flashing key ?

Hello what size drill bit do you uses

This came in super clutch. I fixed the wafer problem but locked my steering wheel in the process. This is the only video I found that mentioned it. Hats off to you.

After removing my broken wafer everything spins fine but the key can be removed in the on position. What would cause this?

I wish you were still putting out videos for locksmiths. The two videos you've shared have been helpful, especially for new locksmiths trying to learn the correct way to do things! Thank you for sharing what you have!

Wow, this was an amazing video for locksmiths. You did a great job of explaining the basics, and the reasoning behind things. Really appreciate that.

How do you get the immobilize ring off if the key wont come out?

Thank you!!! Where can I get the wafers?

Now that's a mother fkin locksmith
