Nissan Navara 2008 ignition barrel repair 

Thanks!

Kawa86 thanks to you I was able to vet this job done myself and saved a lot of money!

They are called Allen keys, or Grubb....screws...

​@@alwilliams8882we use Allen keys to tighten the grub screws

Hi, I'm not shure how this could happen, I did not have any problems afterwards. Since your car is about 6 years younger than mine was, maybe the keys lost there programation after disconnecting the lock/transponder ring? Reprogramming them could be a solution. I don't know where the reciever for the remote control is located, if it is around the ignition barrel, maybe something is disconnected or not properly (re-)conneted? In my repair manual there is not much information regarding the remote control, and its only for car's from 2005 thru 2013 so I'm not shur your car is the same system. I hope you find a solution soon! Best regards koen Goossens

I had the same , it was the key in position switch at the top of the barrel , it can fall out of position so that it thinks the key is in all the time , and the remote will not lock or open 👍🏻

Hi Martin, I do notice you posted this two years ago, but I was seeing if you still remember, as I have the same problem now. I too have a 2014 Navara (spain spec) I haven't done my ignition yet but just wondering if I have the same problem as you with the lock or unlock was it an easy fix. Also is it easy enough to remove the barrel (is it just removing the cover around the steering wheel or do I have to remove half the dash)

@@Petterjunior Hi, I have filed the barrel and the key is turning sweat now, but I have the same problem with the remote, as you did. How did you fix the problem, do I have to take the barrel out and turn it a bit? I thought I may need to buy a new switch that connects up near the barrel. Thanks for any feedback.

Maybe not exactly the same, but it should be similar

Probably the transponder, I’m not shure.

You will have easier acces, but I can't be shure this will work.

@@FallenAngel8666 thanks for the reply - is it possible to take all the small parts out that the key turn or will they not go back in ?

@@Paulpenuk I did not try that so I can't tell you for shure.

@@FallenAngel8666 I managed to get it all apart and out - I'll find out if it works when I get a new key blade 😬

@@FallenAngel8666 got the new blade and it all works. Just need to find a way to replace the pins that had to be drilled out on the cover :)
