[@LAJAP]

I've got an elusive problem. Initially I was led to think that the problem was to do with a bad ignition switch because, first, the car turns off then runs for half a second more, when power to the engine is cut off by turning the key. However, because this only happens when the car is hot, I'm thinking it is the ignition control module inside the distributor that is on its way out. It is difficult to start, particularly when it's hot, and it has progressively been getting worse. Would love to hear anyone's comments on this. The car is a 91' Mitsubishi Lancer (carburettor).

[@BigCaucasoid]

What a brilliant video, You should take that section about the ignition switch having 4 places and making it its own video, I needed that info like 5 months ago and by now, imagine 200 others have also. Thanks!

[@markholroyde9412]

Its alright "guessing" when its someone else's money LOL, its knowing WHICH one it is that's causing the fault, needs the skill of a real mechanic, big difference.

[@chanakashehan]

Most useful video brother.my car have problem. I problem is ignition switch. From this video I confirmed switch is problem. Thank you

[@Dude_Ness]

actually before you go ripping out a fuse or relay to get the engine to turn off, try pressing the brake pedal, it should kill it after key is removed, this fixes nothing and you still have an ignition issue you have to get checked asap before you get stranded but at least you can turn it off for the time being

[@officermeyer]

Brake didn't work for me when mine did that and it failed to turn off about a handful of times over the 5 years I've owned it. I had to turn it back on the off 1 time, another time I had to kill it by releasing the clutch while in gear(ouch) and can't remember the other times but it freaked me out the 1st time. Now my car won't turn over. As soon as I try to start it all power goes away. I'm banking on it's the ignition. Also, I've locked myself out several times because of the ignition failing to alert me my keys were still in the ignition 🤦

[@Dude_Ness]

@@officermeyer dang what kinda car you got? i got a 2011 mazda3 sport and mine turns off when pressing the brake pedal when i take the key out but otherwise it runs for about a minute then auto shuts off. i was told it has to do with the electric connector to the parking brake, i dont have an electric park brake but there's a wire that goes to my park brake and they said if they disconnect that wire it will solve the issue so you can try that. as long as you have the typical mechanical parking brake it will still work but the light wont show up on your dash is all. but either way it's probably our ignitions

[@rendor21]

Ignition switches are spring loaded and that spring can get worn out or break. Also the Lock Cylinder actually turns a squared shaft which can snap or even shatter so nothing happens when you turn the key fully clockwise.

[@TonyMontana-xf8fr]

Another problem is that when you turn to crank the engine to start it, the car electricity cuts right away. The AM1 and 2 fuses kept blowing. It can be a faulty electrical problem from the ignition switch.

[@lilberto803]

Explain more plzz I'd you can will replacing the switch help or do you have to find a wire

[@TonyMontana-xf8fr]

@@lilberto803 fist thing u should do. If ur AM fuse keep blowing is replace it, then go under the car bonnet and jerk at the wire harness. Most times the fuse blow bec a wire is burnt and its touching the engine and grounding. Before u replace the ignition switch u should check to confirm if its bad. Then u need the vehilce type and year look the part up.

[@TonyMontana-xf8fr]

For me i have a 2004 toyota and i see alot of them with the same problem. All u do is give the wore harness a tug like 2 times them start the car, if the fuse dont blow there is the prob. 90% of times that is the problem.

[@blackopal3138]

@@TonyMontana-xf8fr Lol, my god, it's been 4 or 5 years for me, all over it, can't nail it.... Haven't had fuses blow, but first time today, the battery dropped from full power to 7V, after I touched the + cable IN, to the TIPM, and stayed there, until I unhooked a connector attached to the side of the TIPM(plastic holder, I don't think it was the connector touching anything, but after disconnecting it, the batttery climbed right back to 11V... IDK, that's all new after years.... for years, half the time perfect start, and half the time full power, no crank,.... but if I hold the FOBIK against the spring long enough, it eventually starts, anywhere from 30 secs to 5 mins I've held it, and it goes like it should.

Hi! My radio hasn’t been turning off the last two weeks until I turn off my car (which will then cut power to it it seems, otherwise I press the radio on/off button and it just stays on). Tried to start my car today after not driving it for a week and it’s super close to starting but won’t go. Do you think it’s related to the ignition switch/radio issue? It’s a mid-90s Mitsubishi and I read that it could be related to a faulty ignition switch. I’ll probably just jump it in the meantime but curious if this might be correlated - any insight is super appreciated!

[@keeperofsecrets2]

What about if the ignition is heating up as you drive so when you stop and turn the car off, both it and your key are hot to the touch? Is that a problem with the ignition switch?

Do you mean ignition lock cylinder? Or ignition switch..

[@wonderingmind5072]

Could you tackle or add a link mentioning steering/ignition key locks up?

[@shawnster714]

On a 2002 Chevy s10, a bad switch will cause intermittent power to the gauges and the transmission power goes through that switch too and when it loses power, it goes into limp mode and you have to pull over and shut off the truck and turn it back on to reset the transmission and then it’s fine until it loses power again

[@charlottecasi4219]

I have a new automatic CVT car. Since I have arthritis in my hands, I can't rotate the ignition key at once from Lock to Start. Instead, I turn from Lock to ON, I release my hand and turn to start. Since doing like this, there is sometimes a screeching sound when I twist from ON to Start, this noise stops after I release the key and the engine starts. Even though I pay attention to release the key rigth after the engine starts. What do you think this problem comes from ? I suspect because of my arthritis, I turn the key too far to the Start position. I have had this screeching sound a couple times so far. Could it already have caused damage to the teeth on the flywhell and on the starter ? Thank you.

[@unfknknown9678]

🤣 just walk u old cxnt

[@bryank2098]

It is possible that the screeching sound you hear when turning the key from ON to Start is caused by wear and tear on the starter and flywheel due to turning the key too far into the Start position. This can cause damage to the teeth on both components, resulting in the screeching sound. It is important to have this issue checked by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your car's components. They can also advise on any modifications or adjustments that can be made to your car to make it easier for you to start it.

I have the same problem. If I don't start my jeep after a few days then the battery dies. Sometimes I know the battery is not dead because I drive it everyday but when I turn the key to start the jeep, nothing happens. It only does one click. I have to have the key in a certain position when I turn the key to start the car and that seems to work. My ASD relay switch also seems to get burned out because I have to replace it every year. So I'm thinking that the ignition switch and the ignition lock cylinder are the problem because it may not be shutting off everything after I turn the Jeep off.

do you think this can actually happen? i have a 2003 lexus rx 300 in very good condition in which im the second owner ( i purchased from a friend original owner) about 5 weeks ago i started vehicle with my 2 year old aftermarket remote starter. the starter stayed engaged and i didn’t realize it until 10 minutes later when i went to vehicle i heard abnormal sound from engine compartment. i noticed too when i shut vehicle off and attempted to restart with key it would crank in the ACC position i replaced the starter with a remanufactured starter from my local auto part store but i was still having same issue. i took car to the remote start installer and he said everything was working as should with it which i kind of figured was true because i was also having issue with just trying to start with key itself ( kind of a test) he did tell me i had a dead cell in battery which i replaced. my alternator is fine as well. so i put another starter in (they exchanged the first reman starter) car was fine starting for about 5 days then again acted up again. so now i tried a new starter relay and it started fine for 5 days until this morning. i attempted starting with remote starter it hung up shut car off started with key and it hung up. while going to pull relay and opening hood i heard it disengage. so now im wondering COULD IT BE THE IGNITION SWITCH? seeing that it happens no matter with remote or just by trying to start with key? and as i mentioned i noticed it wanted to crank at ACC POSITION a few times. i’ve read other comments about the ignition switch can cause issues just aggravating because it happens intermittently ​@@christianarocho3904

My Toyota Camry 2007 having a strange problem , a ridiculous symptom : In run the car for about 1 or 2 hours . If I stop the car in parking lot then go to buy drink in 7 Eleven, when I come back , I can't start the engine ! No crank , no sound ... ! But if i wait about 1 hour , I can start engine again ! I have 2 choice : wait 1 hour for the engine cool down to start or request help for other car to give a jump cable to start engine . I only change the alternator , the starter , the battery , the starter relay but the same problem happened ! Do you think I need to replace ignition switch ? Please help !

[@automachinehead]

[@christopherkelly4230]

Hey hey hey I've got an 08 Chinese scooter. It wants to start in the utility position. Dash and brake lights light but when it's in the start no brake lights no dash no starter. Weird is the only answer I get.

[@dmay9081]

2002 loos switch, new battery power start by hand then die, but use electric starter ok?

[@Warg666]

I am having the dash lights flash on quickly an the battery light stay on, turn it off an an back on all the lights an everything is as normal, getting it replaced on thurs, an not starting it unless I need to!~ An the vehicle won't turn off either randomly at times, so I hit the button on the remote an it turns off, so I have symptoms 3 & 4.

[@LaneyLambdin-hn6mb]

My problem, my radio will turn on randomly by its self over night and it is killing my battery. Sometimes when I step out my car, my radio doesn’t turn off so I have to turn my ignition lock cylinder back and forward to turn it off. Is this the radio it’s self causing this??

[@scotthendrickson8509]

Your radio has a bad ground wire

[@howardfarris4410]

Clean your battery terminals..worked on mine

[@karlyost3572]

When you change the switch or ignition switch with the keys in it and you get it other keys new ones and then when your battery or when you put the car on it says on the ignition left service how do you get the best service light off once you put a new ignition switch in and have different keys

[@iStyx4930]

My issue that just started is when shutting off my car, the key stops on ACC and won’t turn to lock anymore.

[@AmbrosiaCaiben]

2010 VW Jetta. The key wouldn't turn at all. I did what most suggested and used a little oil. Key now turns to the point of radio playing but wont go any further. I've done the wiggling, etc. Before I have to go sell a kidney or my kid on the black-market to cover the cost, any idea of what is going on???

[@cypher6258]

I switched car batteries, but now i just turn my key and nothing happens not even the speedometer or any electronics turn on. No time, no dash, only an airbag light is on but nothing else. I press the unlock button on the IKT and nothing happens, just as if it had a dead battery, but the battery is completely fine.

[@mexozul]

What if i put my key in ignition and it doesn't turn. Its not the steering wheel, i already tried moving it

[@jimmyhamm6041]

But after the ignition switch replace how and who can reprogram ?

[@MC-hs4mf]

Hmmm what vehicle?

[@markmcneilly6209]

will a faulty switch send a code

[@nathanielpatterson6963]

My car kept running after removing the key. Tried removing battery as a first step and it didnt turn off. Removed that fuse and it shut off.

[@patrickg420]

key will not turn back and car will not shut off?

[@donttalkoverbarz3785]

Car starts and drives fine, but the dashboard sometimes lights don’t work, brake lights always on, steering wheel buttons not working, central locking both key and inside car not working

[@individual2122]

What if I can't take out my key, it's stuck in the ignition and both my abs and parking brake light were on, I don't know if that matters, but that's what I saw when it happened.

[@corinneshepard9179]

I been having trouble getting my key out as we well..I see ur comment is from a month ago..what did u end up doing ? Thinking I'm gonna have my key cylinder changed

[@INTERNA9]

Thanx

[@EGMATV1]

Thank you!!!

[@user-BossMan]

My 2000 Silverado (5.3) keeps breaking down! SOMEBODY HELP!! My key started sticking last month. Then my water pump went. Since replacing the water pump.. 8 days ago... I've had to use my jumperbox every time I've started my truck! Keys been sticking, lights and gauges going CRAZY!! AFTER I JUMP START IT!! Sometimes it wouldn't stay started & I'd have to jump it again & press the gas till it stayed on. About 5-10 minutes only. Then! Yesterday all day I didn't have (6 starts) any PROBLEM!! It started on it's own! My key didn't stick not once! Now TODAY... I'm broke down in a parking lot!! Ignition is sticking today again! Can my ignition stop my car from starting???? Yet start with my jumper pack??

[@marioavalos2831]

Fuel pump fuse bad idea. Harsh on engine

[@valeriebriggs3603]

My ignition is really bad the battery dies then I have to jump it every time I get in the car I have to jump the

[@lariianbroomfield6643]

I have a 2016 Chevy impala LTZ and the engine wouldn’t shut off no matter how much I pushed the start button. I remember I cleaned my trunk I check my trunk again and found I accidentally hit some type of sensor. First I removed the start/run fuse and pushed the sensor in and put the fuse back in.That fixed my car. I thought it was a bad ignition switch but nope just my fault 😅

[@emanuelorozco1439]

My 86 300zx will start and die immediately. I have a code for a bad ignition switch. To me it doesn’t make sense because when put in run position, everything gets power. Unless what was stated in the video is true that after starting my cars just shuts off.

[@Jeffrey-oh8lf]

You have a bad key switch

[@mikelarson4]

What could cause my car not to start on the first try I put my key in and I hear a click sometimes it starts on the second try but sometimes not and I hear the same click but it ninety-nine percent of the time starts on the 3rd try it's not my Celluloid or starter because I had that replaced it's not my coil pack because I had that replaced it's not my spark plugs because those all look fine it's not my alternator because that's fine trying to figure out what it is could a clogged catalytic converter cause that?

[@Me-bf3yk]

Ever find out what it was?

[@genaray5077]

What's wrong with my 2004 Chevy Colorado when it won't start but tries?

[@genaray5077]

Can someone tell me please?
