Jeep JK 08-17 Ignition Lock removal

[@fncrued]

Not only saved me $500 at the dealership to replace a broken cylinder lock, but also the time saved by only needing to remove the column cover to access the release pin for the ignition cylinder lock since I knew exactly where it was thanks to you.

[@rcarlmoy5795]

This is the most uniquely valuable video I've ever come across on KZbin. Despite these being pretty common vehicles, this is the only source I've found that actually describes how to remove the lock cylinder; nothing else is even close. No matter how many positive comments you get, they won't do you justice. Without this video I would never have discovered the way to remove my worn-out cylinder - you saved me an expensive trip to the dealer. The only tips I will add are that I needed to dismount the multifunction wiper switch first, and that an endoscope was useful to see down into the hole to get at the spring loaded button. Thanks so much for the video.

Thank you sir!!

[@johnfrazier5681]

Big help, well done. Thanks for putting this out there for the rest of us.

[@matthewturner7697]

Thanks bro! I work for Chrysler and our service info is very wrong and we was about to remove the entire assembly! Saved us and the customer a ton of time!

[@Oldcomputer]

Thank you so much for making this. I was able to remove my wiper switch and then push the pin in with a stiff wire and get the cyl out.

[@leoncarpenter958]

You my friend are doing the Lord's work. I have so much stuff stacked on top of that hole I couldn't even see it. I found it by Braille.

[@johnhoule622]

Thank you for sharing. This was the holy grail of searching where one finds all the wrong jeep years first.

[@loganriley8225]

I had the same issue that why I made the video! Glad it helped

[@chrispeters7304]

Endeavor to persevere that's what you did...... I admire your video and patience to get you through your project , good luck reinstalling.. Can truly appreciate what you said ....put it through the wall... Very helpful video ....thanks from Peters

[@itchyscratchy9490]

Hell yeah thanks bro. It helps out a lot. I have the same assembly on a 2008 patriot and I was trying to figure out how to remove the key lock cylinder. Was difficult. I had no idea even looking up the service manual. Doesn’t say. So this helped me out a lot. THANK YOU THANK YOU. You are awesome

[@DavidShores-m5u]

Two thumbs up. One of the most informative videos I've seen. Helped me a lot.

[@miekolock4060]

Hey mg thank you so much bro. I’m a locksmith and this saved me so much TIME AND HASSLE. I looked for over an hour. Under immo ring ughhh

[@loganriley8225]

No problem man glad I could help

[@miekolock4060]

@@loganriley8225 in the end I couldn’t get it out properly for some reason. Not with it on the column. I ended up accidentally breaking the release pin somehow. So I guess in the next me it came out anyway. Ordered new one overnighted keyed it up and going to put it in Sunday. I don’t know WHY they made this one so difficult to do. All I do is car keys and ignitions. And I have had some hard ones but this one takes the cake for sure.

Thanks for sharing spend alot of time messing with this lock assembly !!!!!NM

[@arteunson3715]

Much appreciated - just managed to use the 90 degree version of that lock pick you showed (thanks Harbor Freight) to remove mine w/the assembly in place - not easy but would have been completely impossible without you showing the location of that release pin - big help!

[@ivanxbs]

Thank you. Worked on 2007 Jeep Wrangler Jk.

[@dickyprice2916]

I am totally with you on this crap. I have the same issue.

[@missykay4164]

Thank you so much for this video. I do have a question, what if my cylinder lock refuses to click in the ACC position? I need to change out because of this reason but seems as though unable to get to pin without putting it in ACC position. Is this right?

[@loganriley8225]

It has to be in that position to access the pin... it won't turn at all?

[@MoonieMoon-ik9of]

@@loganriley8225 I have the same issue with my 2000 Quadra-drive WJ... The key wont turn at all! I knew it was failing, and my dumb ass didn't fix it before it completely locked on me. So.... Key wont turn into the ACC position; all it does is rock back and forth ever so slightly whilst trying to engage. My key has a chip in it as well... Do you have any recommendations on the first issue I've addressed? As well as how to link the new ignition to work with the chipped key, without having to take it in to a shop?

[@carguy0000]

Thankyou very much for the video , for those with a 2006 - 2010 P.T. cruisers this is the same .

[@memewar2832]

Thank you I ended up using a sewing needle to push the button down to slide it out my scree driver was small but apparently not small enough

[@zaidmohammed9352]

Hi, Thank you for the video, while I was replacing the Ignition Switch part number 4685719AI I broke the metal pin, I put everything together without the broken piece, but I have no problem with the starting the car, I am intending to order the Ignition Switch actuator, it says Ignition Cylinder Housing 68054818AC. Does it come with the actuator inside? what was your experience?

[@chasechevy8933]

Yes, it's sold as an assembly. Not sure if there's a service rebuild kit available or not. I'm sure you've found that out by now.

I didn't break it and couldn't find it anywhere. Does this alone keep it from starting? If so, does the entire key assembly have to be replaced and how long did that take you?
