(558) Chrysler Ignition Switch Picked & Zipped

[@TankEpidemic]

I laughed a little harder than i should have at the "Bill's sound effects"

[@making1281]

Nice one bill. I had a 1970 challenger I made a key for, it was stuck on a truck and I had to start it to get it off; 30 seconds with a snap gun! Making the key is more challenging, either remove steering wheel and hope for code or, what I preffer, impression.

[@MrRShoaf]

I doubt that this particular lock has ever seen service. Looks to me to be an aftermarket replacement ignition with two brand new keys. The OEM locks were a bit tighter so they were a lot less prone to "zipping".

[@Michael29160]

Thank you. I have an old abandoned truck on my property I would love to try and start. Have to try this

[@emanonevahisey5841]

I am going to head out to the Salvage yard and pick me up a couple of locks to tinker with, as I have a set of picks that include auto style tools in it.

[@ElPhantasamo]

People have found ways around the chip in the key. I remember an article in Car & Driver some time ago about an auto theft task group with (I think) the LAPD. they actually caught a guy in the process of stealing a car with an anti theft chip in the key. We was picking the ignition lock and re-programming the computers to IGNORE the anti-theft chip.

[@rodgerlongPatioCam]

People don't know they are suppose to use the ears on the lock to turn their ignitions and not the key. Some auto makers even stopped putting ears on and went to using large bows on their keys, That didn't last long as keys were breaking due to twisting, having the steering wheel locked or not putting the key in all the way and turning it No security pins in those or any car locks.

[@TheWolfiet]

yup. Old van of mine has none, and it is to the point now where you can start the stupid thing with a screwdriver.

[@firstchannel217]

The newer one's are easier to pick... I got one from my father's car when it broke and I used a figure eight pick and got it open quick. The newer one's that don't have side bar's and that.

[@bjmulli]

Very nice I have the door lock Chrysler with a pin tumbler very fun to pick.Good job Bill.

[@waynewinton]

I preffer the ball tipped picks for most automotive stuff like this. They have a single and double ball tip. It allows you to rappidly rake with out getting hung up on the back stroke. Auto lock technoligy has improved and now with the side cut or sidewinder keys and transponder chips they are difficult to break into or outright steel.

[@danielsilva2409]

Nice. I've seen these lock on also the 90's version of some GMC trucks and Fords.

[@Marbles96]

First lock I picked was the ignition cylinder of a 2004 Ford Excursion. Good times.

[@zacharylagler242]

My grandparents had an '88 Diplomat and the ignition looked very similar, if not the same...

[@lanetokack8816]

the easiest way ik is you take a slide hammer with a screw on the end and you rip the hole key part out and take a set of pliers and turn the witch that turns to start the car

[@406miner7]

Just ran acrost this video we all miss your videos

[@waddac2]

Very nicely done Bill

[@lockpickingnik4065]

Nice picking! But today it's even easier to open a car! With "Keyless-Go" you just need two people with a sender receiver unit for each one, one follows the owener and the other one waits at the car... ,than it's opne and they even don't need a key to start it, so just hit the "Start-Button" and off they go. Was that a V8 I was hearing there in the background? ;)

[@davidworsley7969]

Nik,you may think I'm a boring old fart,and I admit I have been accused of it before,but -hell there's locksport and there's there's tutorials for car thieves-you know what I'm saying?

[@lockpickingnik4065]

David Worsley No Sir I would never think that! And i can understand what you mean, but it's just a rough description without details and no car thieve could use anything of that. And I'm not a carthieve, I saw a documentary report about it, and I wrote what I reminded.

[@58belvedere]

The Mopar lock is mid 80s

[@rockycossette435]

I have a 1970 Chrysler Newport 4 door custom and it's been sitting in a field for 15 or more years and I don't know how to get the ignition free from its holding spots is there any special tools I'll have to buy in order to do this

[@nolansykinsley3734]

+Rocky Cossette rip it all out, replace the column.

[@lexoutdoors4486]

I have 1996 Chevy lumina that I have picked to start a few times. Locking my keys in the same car is why I got into lock picking and carry picks in my wallet.

[@terran698]

i have an 85 ram d150 and a 88 ramcharger that both have that type of lock. both vehicles have over 200k miles so its probably sloppy due to wear and tear

[@KILLKING110]

That's why car locks come with face pressure plates for protection now days

[@curo72]

That's a rather old ignition. Dodge/Chysler haven't used a single sided key like that since the early 90s.

[@loganr8171]

that lock is from a 1970 cuda or challenger

[@ccinks]

well if I ever loose my key! I might just might use my picks!

[@lawrencesanchez9400]

Nice art skills

[@XMSTARSHIP2]

cool vid. my 77 Doba had the same lock.

[@JMLockpicking]

Nice good to see.

[@MrDandan170]

before all the anit theft tech Chryslers were the sloppiest , east to pick, you needed the least amount of try out keys or could impression easy..... never needed to SPP these

[@FusionDeveloper]

One of the reasons you should not do this on a real car, is because if you break the lock, their *VERY* expensive to replace.

[@MrRShoaf]

Nope, these are rather inexpensive

[@jimbob2560]

are you pushing up or down be more explanatory in your video

[@NicholasAarons]

Very Cool Video Bill I've been Picking Car Licks since 2001 with a Beautiful Snap-On Lock Pick Set that is Amazing you should check it out. Keep up the great work Bill. :D N.
