Ignition Switch Replacement on a 97 Chevy K1500 (I'd rather be doing Goat Yoga right now)

[@jacobzimmerly]

Dang bro, I'm sorry to point it out, but two 7mm bolts to take that 2nd plate off, four 16mm nuts to take off that small crossmember you were fighting the whole time. It comes out seperate from the main dash frame. Everything is out in the open, and you can wrap that wire however you'd like, with plenty of room.

[@jasolhe]

Great tip!

[@carterbrunner9501]

Best vid it works now at first I was at Casey went in than came out started the truck the rpms did not go up or my speedometer would not go up when driving would not get out of 3 gear this fixed it thank u

[@walkingdirt138]

There is one 7mm bolt holding the housing on where the harness connects under the dash. I took that bolt off and it connected with no issue. Saved a few hours of cursing and pain! Thanks for this video dude. It’s been a huge help!

[@jasolhe]

Sweet i wish youtube would actually let people see it more since im am monitized

[@MikeSmith-nu9wt]

I couldnt fit that 1/4 " socket on my 2000 gmc 3500 , it takes a special tool , i managed to get them out and i threw them away , put matching thread phillips head screws in it , now my truck is worth more ..😂 Also that green and black wire is the key is in the ignition chime , put your pic in the top and turn the white plastic clockwise it twists right out

[@MikeSmith-nu9wt]

I threw that bolt away that held that big plug in by the fire wall too , not needed , it fits tight it aint going no where .. 14:36

[@andreww7938]

thank you so much for making this video. i was in this process, and couldn't figure out the small connector underneath. I would have never known to look inside that insulation wrapping for the connection. you made my day!

[@jasolhe]

Sweet glad it helped! It is a process for sure

[@kevinschneider7642]

Inverted torx

[@tylerfraker9304]

This right here!! I was getting ready to pull this mf to a mechanic because I thought it was up on the steering column and I couldn’t figure out how to get it out. SAVED MY WHOLE ASS TODAY!🙌 wish I could like this video a thousand times

[@iamkuroki]

You sir are a lifesaver! my truck had no tac, no spedo, and was stuck in 3rd gear, the forums pointed to the ignition switch and turns out they were right took off that bracket holding the harness together and it was only slightly a pain in the butt you don't neeeeeeeed that bracket anyway

[@jasolhe]

Thats a lot of issues

[@alexpena9078]

The best video on KZbin for this topic

[@Lalofelix73]

Thanks for sharing 1 video on KZbin for repair!

[@PacoOtis]

Dude! Great video and we definitely owe you a beer!! Best of luck!

[@jasolhe]

Ty!

[@yungrico3858]

What is the purpose of the connection with the foam wrap in the bottom do i need to plug it in?

[@joshpatmon5345]

Vary helpful with all the little things others didn't show

[@FEDsShotMOM]

4:55 yeah pretty much like everything on these trucks. What were they thinking? It all really took a nosedive in the 80s

[@lauradavis7449]

Great vid. Guess I am weird. I knew it was an e-torx and I already have a set of them in the garage... which I had to buy while working on my Firebird years ago. Just GM making sure that we have all the tools. :-)

[@joeroe2839]

Was it killing your battery? It seems like mine is leavin power to the fuel pump makinnmu battery drain 😢

[@jasolhe]

No...but my key has some slop to it and if not perfect in neutral it'll suck her dry

[@fluffymittens24]

Did you check the air in the tires?

[@pitchforkpeasant6219]

E-torx. Learned that one the hard way myself🥴

[@jasolhe]

yeah it was one long night getting that one figured out

[@flashlitalubitsh-white5386]

Thanks. It’s a great video

[@johnrodriguez2405]

Of course the only e-torx i didn't have was the one I needed. And Harbor Freight was the only one that had a 4. Way couldn't they just use Phillip head screws. But no. I have to buy a hole another set of sockets for one I'll never use again. Great video. Thank you

[@jasolhe]

Sucks i know thanks!

[@cweeks4657]

Can someone tell what each wire goes to

[@fluffymittens24]

It's good to be thankful of others that never rest to F you over. Don't forget to thank Jesus..

[@scottaero]

snap-on sells the E tq sockets (GM/Chev throttle bodies are held on with then

[@jasolhe]

Cool yeah snapon sounds expensive but get em where you can

[@pitchforkpeasant6219]

What was initial problem that started this ball of doom rolling? This is gonna be part of my parts shotgun firing at an intermittent vehicle complete shutdown like the key is turning itself off? Fk🤬

[@jasolhe]

Believe it or not i had like 5 things going bad that all contribute to starting issues. Its amazing i ever got it to run lol....the sneaky one was a short in my battery cable...if i twist it upward i lose power downward i get power back

[@deadfingergarage]

Had my trwnny rebuilt and it wont start in the shop..new computure and still no start ..this is next no spark but has fuel ..

[@erikm2003]

Did you get it figured out?

[@betomolina8183]

Muchas gracias 🙏

[@RonaldLove-z4m]

Well u didn't show we're the 3 wire up top

[@aaronsudbeck1151]

Butt splices if you know what your doing will save you time and less awkward rolling around on your floorboard

[@jasolhe]

butt splices eh im a have to google that one lol

[@heathersparks5823]

U didnt show how the column goes

[@brandonlilly7129]

I have a question please get back to me

[@ismaelcarrillo3956]

Good video. But that's an ignition switch. Not an ignition control module

[@jasolhe]

Haha i used both names they are interchangeable imo lol peace

[@cmm4488]

Actually it’s a 3.5mm. Well mine was…😂

[@jasolhe]

Interesting
