Ignition Lock Cylinder Replacement (GM cars w/ PASSkey theft systems)

[@angelcage4040]

This was very helpful for our 98 Bonneville. Flashing Sec light and not starting. Checking the under dash cons first then into the column to look for pinched/broken wires. The car does start if we wiggle the harness in the column-....

I lost my keys and I have a Buick Century 2003 and I'm trying to switch the ignition how do I do it I don't have the key

[@matttafakt]

DO NOT DO ANY OF THIS WITHOUT DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Leave the battery disconnected for at least 10 minutes before attempting to disconnect the airbag. There is a capacitor that has to discharge. ALSO make sure you discharge yourself by touching metal before attempting to unplug any of the wire attached to the airbag.

Help! The black wire with the brass connector that he removes at 2:14 along with the horn connector, what does that plug into? I can't remember! Can't see where it might go. Finished the job, no problem, but can't remember where that dang brass connector goes.

[@jiminy293]

this job looks like a beast!....What is the actual failure of the lock cylinder? The resistor no longer works?

[@everardocamacho5063]

great video, but I don't understand why you removed the two white wires from underneath, please explain me thank you. cheers from ontario calif.

[@hellspawn3200]

the white wires are attached to the lock cylinder and they are part of the anti theft system.

great vid helped alot! So key wont turn till cut? mine is completely locked as if wrong key

[@JimTMcDaniels1]

I FIXED MINE-EASY: * try tapping the key in all the way with a hammer, try this first!* Thanks for the great video, but I found that I didn't need to replace the cylinder on my '96 century 101000 miles. My ignition cylinder would not unlock-turn and I sprayed wd 40 in to see if that would helped but no. I was about to start tearing it all apart to replace the cylinder because mine is the old design that does not have a simple release hole, but I took a hammer and found the key was sticking and not going in the last bit and the key worked and does now just fine! Hope this helps someone, paying it forward.

How do you pull the 2 white wires out of the connector

[@WheelsofSteal]

great video it helped me 100% thank you for the Post! however after the installation and the right key my car still wont crank over. any suggestions? do I need to do a bypass and if so do I bypass on that same cylinder wire? thank you again.

[@adamguthrie9233]

does anybody know if a 99 chevy cavlier is suppost to have a resistor pellet in it or not

[@brandonstallworth8013]

I can't remove the two white wires that's what I can get can someone help me

[@benwoods4178]

Will this work for a 1999 chevy cavalier?

[@adhochero6619]

Great video but some of those tools are crazy, any way to do it without them, just the basic stuff?

[@dabeyta2203]

Hello BWD! And thanks for the detailed and very thorough video! I have a question related to the topic. The other night would-be thieves apparently tried to steal my 99 Lumina (same key as shown in said video). Most everything seems to be in tact - I'm hoping - with the exception of the "plastic key entry section" of the ignition cylinder and the metal retaining ring/ contact point which I believe the two white wires should be connected to. Q1: Do the white wires belong connected to the black ring? As of now my security light flashes and car dings repeatedly; needless to say, it won't crank. I do have both pieces -the plastic "plastic key entry section" and metal ring which fits inside. Q2: Can you please explain how these white wires connect to the ring. If they go here of course. It needs to be moved from its current location but a tow?! Sheesh! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thats looks really hard, I need one for pass key-3, I am assuming its harder? Jeez

[@thisthirdgencamaro2530]

Excellence!

[@DS2GZ-6SP-BEATZ]

You good...and he make it look so e z...its not trust...think twice before you mess with that stuff...but again it can be done...if you believe

[@darryltaylor8780]

Couldn't you just use the old key

[@williamenoch5916]

This was perfect for me to replace a lock cylinder on a 1995 Bonneville.

[@tonymarshall6848]

Will this work for my 2000 chevy lumina?
