Just realized I said "H3 Pickup" in the intro! Let's go with "All variants" of the H3.

Zenna Harajli Thanks so much Zenna!

[@erikmotsinger4388]

Rocket Scientist my daughter has called me 3 times stuck saying the hummer won’t start and the key is stuck and she can’t get it out, then 5 minutes later it cranks , is this the same issue you guys are having or is it turning over but not starting?

“Happened 6 times in one day I was ready to drive off a cliff”..... I felt that.

[@vielkabannick3163]

replace the key. When they are old, the computer will no read the key

[@onlyreallove17]

​@@vielkabannick3163I have but that's proved Way worse

[@thwp2]

You are the man!! Been dealing with this for years and this is the only thing that’s worked.!

[@billynicgorski1]

Its the connector at the end of the cylinder that gets corroded , take it apart and spray it with contact cleaner . I had this proplem for years and i did a deep dive and found the solution. 7 years later all good.

[@RocketScientist]

no kidding? I'll definitely try that. I guess I should have used the KISS method... Keep It Simple Stupid.

[@billynicgorski1]

3 screws under the steering wheel .. 2 screws holding the sensor on .. turn the key and it pops out .. then you have access to the male/female connector and just spray it with electrical cleaner . That is where the corrosion lies that make it seems someone is stealing your H3 .. no need to replace anything.. 🙌🏻

[@homegymrat]

Had this problem several times but ONLY to my wife in the morning...never to me. So when it happen today with me home, I tried some other things suggested first before seeing your video. Thank-you and it worked...now I just have to remember!

[@dennywinger7394]

We've tried this on my wife's H3 it starts every time now Thank you so much

[@dancing_on_glass46]

The H3 lock out starts by using the acc to listen to the radio or whatever you do with the switch on that position. It happened to me after work and at lunch time I listened to the radio. After work I just had a big nice ride just turning over and not cranking. So appreciative of folks like you who share for people like me.

[@GingerNinja1]

I forgot to comment that it WORKED until it just happened to me again 2 yrs later & again in 100°F heat with high humidity! Came right back to this video bc I couldn't remember if it was "turn it forward or backwards," after the 10 min mark, so a MILLION THANK YOU'S! 🤗

[@krissyinthehills]

I will be doing this every time going forward after I just dealt with a complete anti-theft lockup ..thank you 👍

[@donnielawrence3641]

That worked, my wife's hummer wouldn't start this morning because of that and it started right up. Worked for me appreciate it.

[@articiahughes8283]

Thank you so so much... My car would not start for a hour just a little while ago and once I tried what you showed in the video it started right up...THANK YOU....

[@citadelboi]

Definitely worked for me this morning. I saw this video last week and what I did was turn it to on then attempted to start it. That didn’t work. Today I turned it one click to acc, waited three seconds then turned it to the on position and waited 3 seconds and it cranked right up 💪🏾

[@2569dan]

I’ve had this problem for a few years and someone suggested this. It works. The hard part is remembering to do this every time, especially when you’re in a hurry. You just have to treat the truck like it’s a diesel with a wait light.

[@talorjackson1491]

You are seriously fantastic!!! Been dealing with this time to time and I also thought maybe it’s a cold weather thing until it’s been happening back to back in 100 degree weather!! Thank you!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@talorjackson1491]

Yes it works for me!!

[@loganblackerby3343]

Everytime this has happened to my 2009 h3...doing this has worked. Beats waiting the 10 minutes. Great info thanks!

[@danielnarvaez3225]

Dude that's incredible!!! It worked from my first shot !!!! You won my subscription! Thank you !!

[@RocketScientist]

Heck yeah thanks man!

[@MrNlittle4]

It works I just tried it after the video. Thanks!!!!

[@leeH3Love]

Thank you for your video I had almost forgotten that this truck will do that I have a 2006 H3 and I did what you said and it immediately started thank you

[@wesley3340]

You sir are the man! Thanks for posting this up.

[@cskiles318]

Good to know. I learned a top today. My hummer alpha 2008 was binding or stuck in 4 high. I tried other KZbin tips. Some1 said disconnect battery a hard reset. It worked. I’m happy 😆

[@karinatorres8979]

I’ve being doing this, and it really works 🙌🏻

[@Bob-uf6nq]

Perfect, you have the best recipe for my H3 2007 Thank you! 👍👍👍

[@simonkal4066]

Yes it work it just happened this morning I have H3 2008 and thank you for making this video

[@GregorySalvatore]

I think it is a good theory. Nice video. Keep up the good work 👍

[@molleighamerson]

THANK YOU!!! I’m about to try this now & just pray it works bc I’m about ready to take a sledgehammer to mine😩

[@RocketScientist]

I know exactly how you feel! Let me know how it works for you

[@lawrencef7855]

I can’t believe this works! Thanks!

[@redediosrangel84]

[@autodreamer7733]

Supporting you with full watch and a like!

[@sexynurse88]

Works for Me. I literally just had the issue. Couldn’t remember how you did it. And I just fixed it at a red light. Thank you sir. I have the H3 Alpha

[@jasonholman9044]

Yep worked for me. Thank you.

[@dancing_on_glass46]

Dude you just got me and my 07 to fire up and leave work. It's a H3 and it just turned over and I was lost. I just bought it. Any way .Thank you and you got a friend in South Carolina. Lol

[@valdubergerdecantley9632]

Hi, everybody.Fresh experience to share. It happened to me, yesterday, 2006 Hummer H3. The battery went low, could not unlock with the fob. Unlocked with the key. Changed the battery, the alarm went off. Tried to start, no luck. So, I disconnected the battery and left overnight. Meanwhile, I found this video and got aware of the issue, for which I am immensely obliged to the author. Was prepared to do the 10 min-10 seconds trick. Next morning, I reconnected the battery and it started right away.Thanks again for sharing experience!Val

[@RocketScientist]

Glad it worked! Thanks!

[@Ricovette]

Thank You! It worked perfectly! Two days ago I had three No Starts... Today...Not ONE! Thumbs up and a sub from me on this upload... Stay safe... Rico

[@rockii9219]

Thanks!!! This totally worked! 😊

[@martymaynes6570]

This worked for me! Thank you!

[@L2FlyMN]

Thank you! I have the freaking H-3, was freezing because the stupid thing refused to start. The trick worked for me, & I didn't have to sit freezing for another 10 minutes! ☺

[@RocketScientist]

Been there numerous times.. Shivering my butt off in a parking lot just waiting.. Happy to help!

[@L2FlyMN]

@@RocketScientist Extra embarrassing, when your at the gas pumps, & others are wondering why your just sitting in their way.

[@danleon843]

Thank you so much, you just saved me a lot of time.

[@jaymzshields5001]

You are the man it worked thank you for that 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@InCountry6970]

I am sorry I am so late on this, but I too have had this dreaded problem. The dealer changed out the entire lock and sensor (one unit) and it worked for years. Now it is acting up once again and the dealer stated the three second from ON to START and it does work just as you stated. He claimed all GM dealers know this simple trick. Your aging assumptions on stuff is correct and those rotating magnets in the cylinder get weak over time and don't their thing either. I won't hold my breath on a recall

[@dhruvajandhyala3483]

Thank you. And actually you being ‘late’ on this makes me feel better as I’m currently sitting here, waiting 10 minutes, to try again.

[@anthonymeeker7689]

Thanks so much works great 👍🏻

[@TriStarTravelers]

you got some great tip videos!

[@tocayofishing6538]

Happens today again on my h3 hummer twice this week.this sucks. Thanks for share

[@leeharrington380]

It works! So far! Was 6-8 times a year o my 2007 H3. the last week, 8 times. Did this. Voila! I will report again in 30 days.

[@RocketScientist]

Just remember to do it every time you start it! Another quick tip. These Hummers get real finicky with even the slightest drop in voltage. If it's doing it that many times in one day, check your battery. It might be on its way out.

[@TruckingStudios]

Hello I saw you at Verdict Squad livestream I am her to check out your channel thank you for the information I support you red button pushed

[@cash3plcorp_ops104]

Dude u are the man just worked on my 2009 hummer h3t

[@RocketScientist]

Just wait, I fixed it FOR GOOD! And its also super easy. Incoming video as soon as I get my new PC up and running.

[@faithdevito5283]

Thank you' I have a h3 08 with 149k miles and it works, make sure to hold it in start pos for at least 5 seconds, worst comes to worst u gotta wait 10 minutes, thank you.

[@darwantosimatupang8152]

Yes. That what I did... It's work. The only problem is sometimes I slowly turn to put it on "On" position it turns directly to start position. And the problem start again for 10 minutes need to wait 😁

[@katiegay4875]

THANK YOU!!i replaced a fuel pump and it still done it&& then i found this

[@dylanmaclean1]

Tried it. I have replaced it once about 2 years ago and now waiting for 3 hours. Got it once but wanted to try something else. I think you’re just on a good run or maybe it works for you. I dont know but good luck

[@EDMTMLFilms]

If I could I would fucking kiss and hug you sir!!! Just got out of my overnight job to my h3 that wouldn't start. Watched your vid. 60 seconds later, boom, started right up. Thank you!! Time to go to the day job now haha

[@gregorygober1]

Yes it did and thanks for doing this video.

[@samantharothwell4168]

Will definitely try it.

[@as2848as]

Yes it worked for me thanks !!!!!!🤗

[@uncherby]

Another good tip, don't put your key in your pocket with anything magnetic (even credit card or time card). It puts just enough magnetism on the key to cause a failure.

[@rechargeafrica6497]

Thanks brother it worked!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ruknalbuteena2628]

It worked ♥️♥️♥️ 29/05/2020 Dubai Jaddaf ✌️

[@vertexmedia19]

[@MikeRoeser]

Just worked for me ....thanks

Is the On position 2 clicks? Just making sure its the ON position not he ACC position. Been working on my wifes car for a while, but happened again, just saw your video. thanks

[@RocketScientist]

Heck yeah! 4 dings of the door chime seems to be perfect timing for me. Glad it worked for ya!

[@NathansJourneyWithChrist]

Great video

[@crystalcisneros5824]

Hell ya it worked thanks

[@ronnieb5688]

Your right the only thing that works

[@Norelikavilagkonyhaja]

Interesting video. We visited you from I am the creator channel and we support you

[@emsman59]

I think it may take a little bit of time(4-5) seconds, for the computer to recognize the key/fob. If you are in a hurry and slam the key in and crank, it goes into failsafe mode and shuts off the fuel pump. I use this start procedure every time and have not had one bit of problem.

[@bdyjustice]

Yes it worked, I was stuck at Ft. Meade so I tried what you said. I guess the Hummer thought I was stealing it. I went to the car abd sat in the car for a few minutes more like 30 minut nap woke up trued to start the car and nothing..... Did what you said and Poof.

[@ermin3963]

Awesome video man! I am in the same situation with my H3. I am almost ready to drive mine off a cliff too lol. I will test it out and let you know if your method works. Much appreciated!

[@Diecastcomix]

Im going to give this a shot because if there were any cliffs around me thats where I would be after today 🤣

[@RocketScientist]

Ha! I feel ya.. Trust me.

[@450rhino1]

Hello. My 2006 H3 began not starting, but cranked over about a year ago. Only happened a few times. Now I never know if it will start. Tried a 100 different things. There is no security code showing on the dash but I sure as heck am giving this a try. Quite embarassing when at the gas pump and have to stay an extra 20 minutes I thought. I will try the ten minute thing if this doesn't work. TKS.

[@djcrimmy]

great video i had to rip my steering column out once because mine broke ;p left you a like and smacked the red button

[@arnoldlane9566]

Pure fucking genius, work first time. Thanks

[@LivingCoast2Coast]

Good tip if you own one of these. I would have wanted to drive it off a cliff as well if it did more than a couple times in one day. Saw you in the livestream. Watched complete, gave a like, became a supporter. #IAmACreator

[@bettievansloten81]

Yep, it Has Happened to Us Several times Since we have Own Our HUMMER !! The Last Time Just a Few Days ago when it was 10° BELOW ZERO !! NOT A PRETTY PICTURE !!!! HOWEVER I Remembered Your WISE WORDS ""WAIT 1O MINUTES ~TURN KEY' partway ' Then All the way AND ""BINGO "" IT STARTED. ON CAME THE HEATER & HEATED SEATS !!!!! SO THANKS !!!!!!!!

[@brandysmith2126]

, Thank you thank you thank you it was freezing out and you saved me thank you his ideas work thank you thank you thank you

[@RocketScientist]

You're very welcome! Now crank up that heat!

[@carls7844]

What I tried and has seemed to work for several months (I do have the replacement part I just don't want to do the relearn process) I turn the key to the first position, If I hear two or more beeps I will start with no problem, If I only hear one I turn off the key then open the door and try again. Sometimes it takes three times, but if I hear three beeps it has all ways started.

[@redd_5taxkz_59]

Gonna have to try this, we got stuck in the garage after they changed the oil, ended up holding up the line for ten minutes.

[@bow2toya8]

Young Smoke lol I’m currently at a carwash doing the same thing I’m like the car sure looks nice .... boys can you just push me over to the side now ! Lol 😂

[@clinthatfieldsr1918]

I have same problem. I am not sure if you were saying there is a chip in keep but I have had other keys made and there is no chip in key. I usually wait about 10 seconds before I try to start it.

[@RocketScientist]

Its a sensor in the column that detects the key. Its like an old school hall effect sensor. Over time it gets out of tolerance and sends wacky signals.. I just replaced the sensor and it hasn't done it since. Super easy job too. Look that one up.

[@BluzGuitarGuyFishing]

Oh yeah, that would irritate me too. A slide hammer comes to mind. Number 290 here for ya' ! Good stuff !

[@RocketScientist]

BluzGuitar Guy Fishing Antics Thank you my friend!

[@j1800l5000]

WANTED TO THANK ROCKET SCIENTIST FOR THAT INFO, THAT WORKED FOR ME..THANKS FOR THAT VIDEO..

[@crankworthymusic2975]

I usually wait for the seatbelt light to stop blinking but yes, waiting works! There are still times I don't wait long enough and it gets me almost everytime I don't wait long enough. Should be considered a safety issue, and a class action lawsuit since they won't recall it. Imo

[@RocketScientist]

Totally agree! It's not like they haven't received enough complaints.. all about the $ as usual.

[@pjj9491]

Ive gotten stuck in fast food lines, drive thru drug store lines, bank lines...people get pissed...im not doing this on purpose yall...:(

[@ccjcadventures2661]

I have switched to using the flick method which is 2 flip the key on and on the release there's a video posted by a Marty Rios about this I guess I'll do this until it doesn't work then buy the part😃😃
