how to bypass a failing ignition switch Honda Accord

[@eggysan6318]

Was looking at buying a cb9 wagon after totaling my cb7 but there’s no ignition and needed to fire the cb9 up to see if it works and subsequently drive it home. This video was a hugeeeee help thank you for this thorough video!

[@CB7Media]

Your welcome

[@superslowmr258]

Thank you for this video today at work my ignition kicked the bucket. But have a few days till new one is here and I kinda need to get home.

My ignition lock cylinder is broken in my 2001 honda accord and I can't afford to fix it just yet. The key can turn just enough to unlock the wheel but won't turn any further. I unlocked the wheel with the key, then removed the ignition switch and turned the inside of it with a screwdriver. You're a life saver, man! Doesn't look pretty, but I can get to work now and eventually to a locksmith to get a key made for a new cylinder.

You just decoded my issue respect bro this was very helpful.

Like the Body Guard gloves… I work for Fastenal so I appreciate little things like that

[@alyte11]

Thank you for this. I'm dealing with a crank no start on my '91, which I initially thought was the main relay since I never changed it in three years of ownership. I checked fuel psi and spark which was good, then I realized my dash was no longer illuminating with the key in position 2. I followed your steps and she fired right up! Guess I'll hang on to the main relay just to be prepared.

You are welcome. I am so glad it help you out that's why I make these videos speed sensor video will be coming soon

Hi so this works even with cars that have immobilizer and keys with chip? I mean when the keys are lost, will it work?

[@ratloz2]

Woohoo! This is the 2nd ignit switch that's failed on this cb7; replaced it like 10 yrs ago as the car would intermittently stall while driving. I really don't want to do this a third time so the bypass is a good alternative. Thanks Man!

[@CB7Media]

[@shendelljwalgren9015]

Hey man this is so helpful. Been trying everything to get my car running for two weeks and the ignition switch is 437.00 from autozone... ahhh not to mention the transponder chip... what a nightmare. This little jump loophole is gonna save me a lot of money and a big a$$ headache. Thanks again you're a life saver... this video was well made, easy to follow, informational and I appreciate the explaining why each wire did what it did rather then having a "this goes here because it does" attitude about it!!! You're the real MVP!!!

[@CB7Media]

Glad the video helped out!!!! Yes the ignition switches are not cheep to replace. and just a simple thing like this can save money and time

@CB7 What do I do with the yellow and black wire

[@CB7Media]

What year is your car and do you have a voltage tester

[@shendelljwalgren9015]

It's a 2002 and yes I have a voltage tester. This is what I have On the button I have the green to white then a jump from yellow to white and black. I have the button red to black and white but I have the black and yellow with nothing

Basically....how to make a momentary switch from a regular toggle switch

[@jameseaton2860]

First off great video! I have been fighting with this 2012 civic for a while now. It’s the security now that I’ve gone through 2 different parts and keys that got jacked around and ended up programmed or something wrong. Will this work for my car? I’m desperate at this point. Only other option would be to get brand new ignition including the immobilizer and keys and I’m already in deep with this.

Hey question we just tried to do that. I have no current with the all black and white strip wire which is supposed to be the starter wire. So when I did this technique the first one that you got on the video it didn't crank over. Please help

Just in time. Mine started doing this 3-4 days ago

[@CB7Media]

Glad I could help if you need anymore info let me know

[@agatonnyawigu8510]

Thank you for this, but something is not clear to me, when you flipped the key to the on position, you said the white and black wire is the starter wire, I didn’t see the reading on your multimeter so that I could understand why is white and black wire is the starter wire and back to the connection the starter button is connected from the continuous hot wire to the black and white wire, why not white and black wire, help please

[@LpezMoi]

I have a Honda Civic 94 with that problem, I’m trying to put a Push button but I can’t. -White is positive (Bat+) -White/Black is Acc -Black/Yellow is Ig1 - Yellow is Ig2 -Black/White is Nag (Bat-) The Push Button has 3 pins (Positive, Negative and the one that goes to the Solenoid) Can you give an idea how to connect the lines?

[@ahlvr50]

I didn’t see where anything was connected to the black/yellow wire. Is the black/yellow wire not used in the final wire up ?

[@josephmitchell8283]

ignitions for older Hondas are really cheap. by the time you buy wire and push button switch, etc. it costs more than the ignition switch replacement. I need a way to crank the engine wile checking for why its not starting. And find out where the power to fuel pump stops in the wires.

[@lorenjensen4268]

Great video thanks on a 1990 Honda Accord when I jump the block and yellow wire with the black and white wire and connect that to the white wire my car starts and runs but also the starter motor keeps running am I doing something wrong? Thanks

[@JordyLee23]

I was watching this while stuck on the side of the road. I held my key in starting position and it never killed over. Held it for abkut 2 miles then let go, and somehow the engine stayed on! Keeping this video in mind in case anything else happens

I’m sorry but my ignition wires are different colors 2005 Honda Civic. How do I do a bypass on it. I know my white is hot wire. But I don’t know the other wires. Can you help me? My wire are white,yellow, orange,red and blue

[@louisben4510]

Okay I did everything you said to do in this video and now I can start and turn off my car via the key. And furthermore the button does nothing to turn off the car! I'm just worried about the result

Would this be the same on a 2003 Honda Civic? I am asking because that chip in the key.

[@STRUMMERBOY1975]

Yeahh Great Video !! Ok... yeah I have a 2006 Ford F150... Replaced two batteries(Plow Truck) and now no start... no crank... no dash instrument lights... and anti theft light flashing steady fast... and pulled a code.. saying B1681 Passive Anti Theft System (Pats) Tranceiver Module Signal is not received..... So... opened up to see ignition Tranceiver.... and there is a small gauge wire looped around the tranceiver module..... so I am wondering if someone did that to try and match the resistance so that the key chip would pair to it? Help.!! lol

Will this work if your immobolizer light isn't coming on

[@RedGhoSt108]

Awesome video! I bought a Honda prelude for dirt cheap as a flip it project but after buying the car and getting it towed the previous owner lost the key, I’m able to use another of my Honda keys to turn the car to the accessories but won’t turn over due to the transporter/chipped key, would this method still work for the year of my car using a different key? 5the gen 1998. Thanks in advance!👍🏼

[@CB7Media]

Yes it would still work. you will just need to look up a wiring diagram for it try looking in a car repair manual or online. Because the wire coolers are probably different them my car

[@stormb3948]

Hey I have a question my man, you only tested 2 wires with the multimeter right, the hot wire and starter wire. But then you joined 2 wires together and touched a 3rd wire. What is the the 2 wires you join together and which is the 3rd wire that you didn’t show us testing with the multi meter? Edit: I don’t have a Honda so the wires are different colours than yours but the concept should be the same so I need to figure out which wires are which by testing like you did but the third one you didn’t test is what I’m confused about and what two join together to jump to the continuous hot wire. Edit 2: I managed to get it working by jumping the wires but now the heater/aircon fan and low/high beam headlights suddenly don’t work. Is this because one of the other wires also needs to be connected with the ones I’ve stripped or have I blown some sort of relay/fuse?

Will this help so I can at least get my car to dealer?

[@CB7Media]

If you have a scan tool I would start there and check and see if you have any codes that pop up first before getting in to the ignition. If you don't have one check for fuel and spark If you have both of them them pull the crank sensor and see if starts for about 3 to 5 seconds if It dose then it's a bad crank sensor

With only a momentary 2 wire pushbutton, how are you maintaining power on the yellow accessory wire. There could be multiple problems with the ignition switch

[@CB7Media]

The ignition switch still works on part of it it will give continuous power to the switch but nothing else so I ran a jump wire from the continuous power the white12v wire to the Yellow 12v accessorie wire it only works when you turn the ignition over the push button only supplies power to start the car it dose not need to be continuous power to keep the car running when you turn the key off it kills the power to everything there for shutting off the car. If you want to run everything on toggle switches then you have to use a toggle switche from 12v continuous to the 12v accessorie wire then run your 12v accessorie wire to the push button to the 12v starter wire that nose not need continuous power only momentary power to start the car just like your ignition switch dose on its own when working properly I will be making a video on how to wire everything for toggle switches
