Just repaired an Honda Fit stuck in the middle of nowhere with these instructions. Honda: you should recall all your vehicle to fix this ignition issue, with 500k views, that means *A LOT* of people got this problem. Thanks!

I cannot thank you enough for this great video. Listening and carefully following your well illustrated steps undoubtedly saved me up to $400. I thank God for people like you. Thanks again and God bless.

You think it took you 20mn may be the personal satisfaction you rightfully got from this did not make you realise how time flew by because this is in no way a 20mn job. Remove the lock from your car does not even take 20mn. You must remove two security bolts that holds the housing to the steering column and removing thses only will take u more than 20mn then remove all thr connectors then remove the ring then the module then remove 2pin that hold the ignition switch to the housing is a pain.

I wanted to thank you for the video. You saved me a lot of money when everyone else said to replace the lock,re-key using a locksmith. I went to the local Honda dealership and they wanted $690.00 for the part,I don't want to imagine what the labor would have been,no doubt it would have sent the bill over $1000. Oddly enough I had a locksmith look at it;he gave up fiddling with it which almost necessitated a tow.

[@hilltophewitt]

Thank you so much for this video! Our local honda dealer wanted $650 for ignition assembly, $180 for keys and $80 for programming, plus 2 hours labour! This video saved me a lot of money! Great work!

[@fearwidge]

THANKEW! It took me a day and a half, but I FINALLY got the "seized" ignition switch going again. In the end, I just started pulling out tumblers (and springs) until the damn thing WORKED! Re-assembled everything and the switch works just fine. MANY thanks. Could not POSSIBLY have fixed my ignition switch without this video. (Which was particularly important as the switch "seized" with BOTH WINDOWS OPEN and it's been RAINING.) HIGHLY recommend this video. (Several others show how to remove the plastic steering wheel shrouds to get at this unit.)

I cannot thank you enough for this video. You have saved me & many others a load of cash. £800 from Honda for new keys & barrel. Or £100 for a locksmith to do exactly the same as you outlined here. Thank you very much for the detailed video :)

[@1983RonMan]

Thank you very much for posting this. I have saved a lot of money by watching this video. I took me around four hours to get the job done. THANK YOU again.

[@Zenai01]

Awesome Walkthrough! This saved me well over $300. I would caution everyone to be extra careful with the levers on the tumbler unless you want to lose a whole bunch of the levers. Other than this this is right on point with the information. PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT for changing the entire assembly out, its for repairing the original one. If you want to change the whole thing out then know that you will have to PROGRAM the New Key Set into the vehicle!

[@azadansari1715]

Hii so sweet 🥰🥰💐💐💐💐💐💐

[@knechvatal]

just wanted to say thanks. orieleys wanted $225. dealer wanted $350 to replace it and they said the lock couldn't be repaired. using your video I fixed it myself and saved a lot of money. thanks again

[@chrislyons5923]

This worked! Iive in a very rural area. My key got stuck in ignition and wouldn't turn. Finally got the key out. Without this video, I was looking at a 70 mile tow to a shop that would have to order the part. I got this done and the car running while my two year took a nap! Saved me a $1000! I took out 7 worn levers to get it working smoothly with my spare key that is new. This will keep me going while I have the part on order. One tip, when taking the pin out to take the washer off the lock core, I had to remove the key chime bar and spring, and drill a hole through the extended arm on the tumbler (lock core housing, 4:45) order to punch out the roll pin, because I could not turn the key to position 1. THANKS!!!!! I can take my kids to soccer practice now!

[@matthiasblumrich6802]

This video saved me hundreds of dollars and allowed me to stay with one key for ignition and doors! Thanks!!!

Welcome

My son used your video to repair my ignition cylinder. He removed the tumbler that was preventing the cylinder from turning and filed down the others that were sticking up with the key in. Great video. Thanks so much. Saved me a lot of money.

Thanks so much! I was scared to take it apart, but I did it, and my 2004 Honda Odyssey starts up perfectly now.

[@hitech98]

Awesome instructional!! I was stranded out of town & facing a 800.00 dollar repair all because my key wouldnt turn in the cyclinder. I removed a couple of those worn out lock wafers & springs, lubed it up & now it feels like new again when I turn my key. Still theft proof because the key remains unique with 2 remaining wafers & besides.. its chipped! Here's your other video showing how to remove the ignition assembly that people in this situation will need to see. Remove Honda Ignition lock from steering wheel

[@maninderpal9086]

Thanks, My Honda Jazz has same problem and I have repaired it after watching your video. Really very thankful. It save me a lot of money. Thanks.

[@hjereza]

Thank you so much for this!! Dealer wanted to charge me $900 to change out the ignition lock on my S2000!! Only took me a few hours.

[@odairmenezes4047]

This video helped me a lot. I am a locksmith in Brazil and needed to know how to disassemble the ignition core of honda civic 2004. I made the repair and the customer was satisfied with the result of the service. Thank you friends

[@2-denterprises537]

Thanks for the great instructions, worked like a char on a 2003 Honda Odyssey van. Removed negative battery terminal, removed the steering column plastic shroud and after I unhooked a wiring harness the top I took the key mechanism off by using an oscillating tool with a 1 1/8" metal blade to cut a slot in each of the shear head bolts, a flat screwdriver then removed these bolts easily. Removed the wires for the immobiliser and the ignition switch and the key mechanism was out. Your video made fixing the lock cylinder easy thanks! Instead of fitting shear head bolts I got a pair of M8/1.25 x 16 cap head bolts from home depot, these worked perfectly. I truly appreciate being able to fix this for only the cost of new bolts ($1 US), as others have said this could have easily cost me $100 or more. It is great to be able to dig into the inside of the lock, see exactly how it works and what was wrong and re-use vs. replace. One of the most helpful you-tube posts. Hoping you have good fortune always!

[@weslaycock466]

This video saved me. I was stuck at my girlfriends when suddenly my key wouldn't turn. This video saved me some cash, much appreciated.

[@williamwatts356]

THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO POST THIS EXCELLENT VIDEO. I REMOVED 4 PROBLEMATIC PINS FROM THE BARREL AND THE LOCK WORKS LIKE NEW. USED A NAIL PUNCH TO REMOVE THE TWO FLATHEAD SCREWS IN LESS THAN 1 MINUTE, EASY. USED A HACK SAW TO CUT A SLOT IN THE SCREWHEADS AND REUSED THE ORIGINAL SCREWS. SAVED MY CASH FOR ANOTHER DAY. MANY THANKS TO YOU!!!

[@juliedame6960]

WE DID IT!!!! Awesome video. Followed right along...pausing as needed and now have a key that will turn. Thanks!!

[@rogerroger5585]

You saved me well over $200.00 by showing how to just remove defective tumblers, instead of replacing the whole ignition. Thanks a bunch. Awesome!!

[@linzjt3502]

Omg u saved me and my partner almost $1000 to get this fixed. Thankyou so so much xxx

[@stephennapier2522]

this has saved me so much hassle and money. fixed my faulty honda jazz ignition where it was hard to insert the key and would not turn. watched your video here, removed a few defective pins from the barrel and im back on the road again. Thank you so much for your video ;-)

[@wmmenzies6584]

Great, Thank you. My wife's 2008 CRV was a little different, but between your 2 videos, I got it done in about 2 hours. Saved me about $500 if the dealer had to do it.

Thank you so much for this video!!!!!!!!!! It's amazing!!!!!!!! After finding out that it would cost me 920$ plus tax to get my 2007 Honda Fit fixed, I found hope in viewing this :) During the weekend, with the help of family, we fixed it!!!!!! What a rush when the key turned and I heard the engine start :) I'm so very grateful!!!!!!!!!!

[@carflipkeys]

Great to hear this Thank you for the message

[@ronmurphy00]

I have to say sir, That was very strait forward, no unnecessary babbling and even had the sound off !!..As with the other people that were so happy to have saved at least $800.00, I too am one happy guy right now ! I realize dealership's have huge overhead but 800.00 bucks ? They almost got me until I came across your video ! Right on to you Brother !

Thanks a lot you just saved me $500 hardest part was getting no tamper bolts out to remove ignition assembly. Thanks again..

[@samn.7558]

Great Video, saved me $600. Thank you!

[@dl3mcd3]

Thanks for the video! I followed this advice to remove and repair a 2008 lock cylinder. My only problem was removing the pin at 3:21 in the video -- but it did eventually come out. I did not replace worn out pieces (2 of them), I just removed them. Funny thing, Honda did not include 1 piece, there was just an empty slot with no lever and no spring. This was much better than the Many-100's-of-Dollars the dealer wanted for parts and/or repair. Thanks!

[@2010sooty]

Thank you very much for this. Honda wanted £600 for the parts and £179 for fitting so you saved me a lot of money!

Thank you so Much!! it took me awhile on my 2001 odyssey, but saved me $300

[@phillipBappleton]

This video saved me hundreds of dollars. You're amazing.

[@bradleysmith9431]

Thank you so much for this video!! I was a bit nervous about taking the levers out and leaving them out. I left two levers in the ignition, just to have some kind of security. But if you follow these instructions carefully you too can save a bookoo money! I had to look up one another video in order to see how to get it off of steering column. I found one that works and saves alot of time. Use a small drill bit to drill a hole perpendicular to the first pin that keeps it connected to steering column, the hole gives better access to pull the the small roller pin, after you get the chip reader off (the black plastic)

[@babayanjuadetunji1627]

can't thank you enough you safe me a lot of money, i tried your method and it works greetings all the way from Nigeria.

[@wordXplosions]

LOL awesome !!!

[@gearoidkenny]

Thanks so much. I successfully got the ignition barrel out of my friends Honda Civic 2007 1.4L Right hand drive European model last week. I did not need to remove the ignition assembly from the car. It helps to know that the expanded rollpin is 2mm diameter x 10mm long. I sprayed some loosening fluid into the pin and let it seep in. I then ground the tip off a 2mm diameter nail and used the nail to carefully gently and only slightly hammer tap the head of the pin. This to try release any binding between pin and its aluminum retaining wall. I then followed with your flat screwdriver gentle hammer tap method which worked to expose the rollpin head and I could then pull it out. Saved a load of time not having to try to get the 2 x blankheaded security bolts out.

@ flip keys, just repaired mine, thank you for your video, life saver! To all mine is a 2007 Honda Element and the process is a lot simpler, once you remove the immobilizer the tumbler slides out and you proceed just as shown on the video.Thank you.

[@akhiljacob1525]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, saved me a lot of money. keep up the good work!!

[@bfmackin]

I just did this today. A few notes from my '07 Ody: T30 bit used to release the airbag portion, but regular Phillips used to take off the lower plastic guard under the steering wheel. Biggest problems were removing the roll pins that lock the key cylinder together. For the first one that you just 'Tapped Out' after loosening, I had to cut away the corner that confined it with a dremel wheel. For the last pin, I removed that long lever and drilled a hole down through the channel to it.Thanks!

[@n3rd2n3rd]

I just wanted to thank you so much for showing us how to fix the damaged wafers in the ignition. The hardest part is getting that first pin out. I dang near went mad. Took about an hour before I got it out. Slightly different than your directions. I never removed the unit from the steering column. Honda Element '05. I removed all the wafers and now I can pull the key out while it's running. Not bad. Anyhow, you saved me $500 roughly, so I owe you a drink or something.

[@carlosgomez360]

I got my 2004 Honda Civic fixed in a couple of hours. It took me longer because I couldn't remove the pin that you have to bang out. I ended up shearing it off by force. I just replaced the pin when I put it back together. I spent $20 in tools and parts, compared to the $1000 total cost if I would have taken it to the dealership for a new part. Thanks again!

[@johnmorin7244]

Iocksmith from Massachusetts in the USA here. Our Honda ignitions are a bit different but same concept.. (we are mobile locksmiths) we drive out and do this repair wherever the owner gets stuck, we charge about $400 and takes about an hour. You did a great job explaining the repair. We do it a bit different but the 2 worst parts of our Honda ignitions is the security bolt removal and extracting the roll pin holding the lock cylinder in the ignition assembly. Great video my man very cool to see the difference between countries. I figured it would be the same, definitely isn’t 😂😂

[@user-zh3zg1rw5l]

Would you know why when I reinstalled the lock cylinder after having it repaired by a lock smith, the key does not turn to the lock or "0" position and I cannot remove the key? I can turn the vehicle on and off now but cannot remove the key.

@ flip keys, just repaired mine, thank you for sharing your knowledge, much appreciated! To all mine is a 2003 honda civic and the process is a lot simpler, once you remove the immobilizer the tumbler slides out and you proceed just as shown on the video. By the way, you don't have to remove the whole assembly from the steering wheel, I didn't on mine. This applies to 2000-2005 civics they are the same. Thank you.

[@rafiquesheikh5955]

This was a great video, helped me tremendously in fixing the ignition (key won't turn) on my 2003 honda odyssey. Without this I would not have been able to get the ignition cylinder out of the assembly. In the end I had two choices, just remove all tumblers and drive the car like that or have tumblers replaced. I chose the latter, $45 at the locksmith and the ignition is almost like new, key turns smoothly. Even after you get the ignition module detached from the steering and all cables, getting the ignition cylinder out of the module still requires some work. If you plan on replacing the tumblers, I recommend taking the ignition module to a locksmith who can replace the tumblers. They will take the cylinder out of the module and put it back in, saving you some time and effort.

[@grahamkrause]

Thank you sooo much. Easy to follow. Even with a little hiccup was fairly painless to do. It's obscene that you are expected to trash the whole $500.00 assembly, replace it , reprogram the keys etc..., because of a 1 cent lever.

[@johnkaldeway9959]

This worked amazingly well. Honda wanted to charge my daughter $2900 to replace the whole lock mechanism, new keys and programming. One little lever, and BOOM!

Thaaaaanks a lot guy, u save my Sunday

[@carflipkeys]

You are right, Cars which doesn't have immobilizer can be repaired even without taking the lock out of steering column but we normally recommend that for professional use only as it is hardest to repair with lock inside the car. Some complicacy may arise if you accidentally rotate the steering wheel when lock barrel is out and it gets locked. It's rear but may then require you to take the whole lock out and rotate it anti-clockwise with a long screwdriver by inserting it at lock barrel's place.

THANK YOU. This never would have occurred to me to remove a pin or a lever - my ancient Civic has a pretty worn out key, and there was one of the pins that doesn't quite clear the tumbler anymore due to that so I couldn't get the key to turn, nor the spare, which was made after the many years of wear, except by random chance and wiggling it enough to get it out of the cylinder. It was actually wearing a divot inside the chamber that was catching it too and causing debris to get caught up in the works and wearing stuff even more! I was dismayed at the thought of getting the lock replaced, but taking out that one errant pin, I can now use it just like before, and not have to worry about it breaking off inside and making things worse!
