It’s so ridiculous 🙃

[@adembinski110]

I saw you were reinstalling the 'headless" bolts that hold the switch mechanism with the steering column lock to the steering column. The headless bolts were not meant to be re-used. For this type of repair, they can easily be replaced by a "socket cap screw" M8x18mm long that accepts a 6mm Allen head bit. Tightening these down is much easier than tapping a headless bolt. It is possible to buy special M8 bolts with heads that break off after they're tightened, but they aren't really necessary, and they cost much more than a socket cap screw of the same size.

Why don’t you use a dremel and cut a slot on top of the security bolt. Then you can use a flathead screwdriver.

Thank you for this. My Hyundais been in the shop almost a year now due to this just waiting on a new engine.

Hey there. Great video. Thanks for posting this. Kia boys destroyed the ignition. I can’t get it into accessory mode. Tbh I don’t know if it’s in a mode @ all and the steering wheel is locked. Should I try to remove the entire innards of the ignition switch? I’m stuck here and don’t want to remove the steering wheel or tap headless bolts. Thanks!

[@JariaCreates]

Hyundai wouldn't even fix mine for free which is lame cause this is their fault. Instead they want me to pay 1700 absolutely not. I'll do it myself

[@BorderPaps]

To get ignition alone out you have to press a pin on the bottom with a pointy object (I used a ballpoint pin). The trick is, you have to turn the ignition into accessory mode before you press the pin. Pull pretty hard and it came out without having to take the whole thing off the steering wheel! My daughter’s car got stolen, but the ignition would still turn.

[@rfranco6854]

Great video! How much would you charge for this job? My 2012 genesis coupe was broken into :(. Luckily they couldnt steal it cuz transmission is bad too haha

[@PhilyCarsAndKeys]

It all depends, on how far I’m traveling, if they want to match the door lock to ignition, or if they need a remote with it . Anyway where are you located at ?

They failed at stealing my gf's 2014 Elantra - replaced the back window and ignition assembly and it starts, but the instrument cluster (speedometer, fuel gauge) doesn't work now (along with shift interlock, which has an easy workaround). Tried unplugging the cluster, cleaning contacts, replacing fuse. The fuse socket isn't getting power. It did have moisture inside for ~1.5 weeks from melting snow. Any ideas?
