I was just off the phone with Toyota... 365.00 plus an installation cost. Watched this video, called my local locksmith who was familiar with the issue. 75.00. You saved me $$$. I owe you a beer.
This was helpful, I called the lock locksmith and they told me they will come out make a new key instead of replacing the ignition. They came out gave me two keys and it worked perfectly. Awesome job, keep posting. Thanks
Just a suggestion before you start spending money and replacing parts, it's possible you may just have a worn out key. If you have a spare key try that first. I had this exact problem where my ignition cylindar wouldn't move, i was getting ready to order a new ignition cylinder when i ran across a spare key that came with my car when i bought it and had never used. It was obvious from comparing the 2 keys the one i used on a daily basis was significantly worn. Anyway when i tried the spare key it unlocked just like that.
Yep, that worked!! Took my hideaway key and turned the ignition while holding the current one (with the chip) next to it. Turnen n started just fine. Tomorrow I'm getting a new key made. Great share. I owe you a beer..or two.
I have a camry 2016, when it’s hot out the ignition goes on lock. Today we can’t get it to start no matter how much we try to turn the wheels. It has worked for 3 mos just turning the wheels gently to left or right. We have 2 keys and both keys are not worn at all. Do you think i have to replace the tumbler?
Had exact issue with my 2006 tundra , they wanted $185.00 for the part , but I have a good relationship with my advisor , he cut e a new key using the VIN # , NOT OFF THE OLD KEY , issue solved , do yourself a favor and have a key made at the dealership using your VIN#
They did not charge me , mine is a 2006 , no fancy key , just a simple grind , the key is to have them make it from your serial number , not just duplicate the bad key
Just purchased an 02' Toyota 4runner yesterday and it won't switch off today! Of course it's a Saturday and I can't contact dealership. Anyway,Will this work on my 2002? Thank you
Forman is a manufacturer’ of aftermarket replacement parts..and to my recent surprise Walmart sells all kinds of automotive parts cheaper than the major parts houses ..advance..o Riley’s
I recently had to get a new cylinder. It came with a set of keys but now I can’t start vehicle as theft system is preventing it from starting. Do I get a locksmith to recode or re craft my new cylinder to fit my original keys or what!?
I love this video. I got all the way to getting it out, it will go to acc but the pin seems stuck and won't got in so I can slide it out. Any suggestions??? Thank you in advance!
So, not about $200. You can get an OEM for around $80, a Beck-Arnley for $45 (Amazon) or a T-style for about $28 at Home Depot. If cash flow isn't an issue, I would go with the Beck-Arnley as they have great customer reviews and a year warranty.
After replacing the ignition lock and with new keys that comes with the new ignition lock, do you need to program it ? I saw videos of how to program new keys, but what about if you replace the ignition, how do you make the computer recognize the new key and ignition lock ?
Would the key turn if you turned the steering wheel from side to side? My key is fine and it will turn in the cylinder if I turn the steering wheel back and forth. If I just get in and put the key in, it won't turn. Trying to figure out what's causing the issue: the ignition cylinder or what?
Wow you just saved me a whole lot of heart Ache. Just bought mine off my buddy and was about to have a heated discussion on why the car he just sold me won't turn. Thank you 😂
@@justinspelatz2951 let my mate had a go and after 10 mins he got it to acc. Probably just has a finer touch 👍🏻 Left it like that and disconnected battery so it would drain battery until I got replacement
thanks randy, i did everything.... BUT... after i slid in the new cylinder, put the cover back on, screwed in the panel.... THE ENGINE WONT TURN OVER.... NEVER had that problem before, always started right up... now after putting in the new cylinder, it won't start! it'll turn all the way great, but now won't turn over.... why?
@@giovanni233 thanks. i ripped open the original stripped key, took out the computer chip, taped it right on top the new key, and added a new plastic key cover.... worked perfect... its not easy tearing off the original cover tho, be careful...
@@Skintback27 you have to make sure you're sticking the key THROUGH THAT CIRCULAR PIECE... when replacing the ignition key on your own, that circular green fragile plastic part, that has the wIres connected to it, is usually drifted to the side while you're trying to slide the new ignition key in... well, that RING, MUST BE PHYSCIALLY around the key entrance and the key HAS to be stuck THROUGH THE INSIDE of the ring for the engine to turn over... its a security auto-shut off feature... if someone steals your car key, and even makes a brand new copy, they still won't br able to get the engine to turn over because only the original key, and its interaction with that RING will get the car to actually start...
I highly recommend anyone that experiences these symptoms to replace asap. Because if you don't, and you wait till the last minute like me, the cylinder will lock so bad that you can't even turn your key to "Acc" mode to depress the button and remove the cylinder. So a 5 minute job turns into a much longer one. I had to drill mine out.
@@randythecarguy_ @Randy The Car Guy I can't turn the key to on position. It's stuck at off and steering wheel is locked. So, how to remove the ignition cylinder whenever this situation happens??
NOOOOOOO!!!! Toyota keys are notorious for wearing out - just replace with a new key at dealership (don't cut new key from old, worn out key!). Dealership doesn't want you to know this! Only $8, is cheap ;)
