TOYOTA IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER REPLACEMENT (EARLY 2000 MODELS) 

You can put a tr47 blank key in the ignition it will reset the split tumblers and key will turn take apart and remove split wafers

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I followed your procedure and it took me 15 minutes to remove/replace the ignition lock cylinder, which allowed me to start and drive my truck.

Who are you?! You're such an angel to community, for humanity. Thank you. I just busted my hubby's ignition on the trip to the paint store today. If I can fix it before he comes home, I will have a story at the very least. ;-) I love building and fixing. Did I mention that you're absolutely amazing?!

Thank you so much for your video. I did it in no time and I still can't believe how simple it was thanks to your great instructions! You broke it down amazingly well.

Excellent instructions, sir. I followed your video exactly and was able to remove and replace the ignition lock cylinder with no problems at all. Thank you!

Great video. I watched it, giggled the key and managed to get it into the accessory position. I disconnected the battery and bought a new switch. I had it installed in 20 minutes. The video even tells you what socket to use and where the bolts are. The only tricky thing was the light ring, it popped off and I had a bit of an issue aligning it, but still managed. I loved the fact that this was for my exact vehicle, but probably works with many others. The pin he's drilling out is an anti-theft device.

Hey man just wanted to tell you thank you. My truck was broken into last week some A hole decided to destroy my ignition. after watching your video I popped in a new one no problem drilled out the old one got everything to work truck started right up. Just wanted to tell you thank you.

Drilling the push button I could not think of. Thank you. I will try. I spent all day trying to get it out. ------- one hour later---- It worked!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

Man I am sooo glad I found your channel! You will be a very big help in my new Locksmith buiz my friend.. Thanks for your generous info!

This video was immensely helpful. I appreciate the information very much. I was able to change mine out, and after doing so I compared the new key to the old and wondered due to the extreme wear on the old key whether or not it was simply the key itself. I suppose if I am able to get a new key for the old one and have it turn with no issues(or not) I will comment on here again with the result.

Thank you so much! Dropped the panel, drilled out old cylinder, in with the new cylinder, reassembled dash. Boom! Fixed!

One of the best and one of a kind you are my friend,as usual you are helpful and your videos are highly appreciated.

Best video to put the ignition lock cylinder in with. My vehicle is a 2003 Toyota Highlander. Made changing so easy. Just follow instructions and you can't go wrong if you have the correct cylinder. Thank you

Thank you man, you made it so simple. My key will turn to acc. But won't turn off/lock, but you just fixed me up. Gonna go change it out right now, have a good one brother!

Really great video! I found others that weren't nearly so specific - particularly showing the little hole where the lock needs to be drilled out. Thanks so much!!!

Orale , este es uno de los videos que ensenan lo mejor que se puede paso por paso, como dice el dicho, Mas claro no canta un gallo te felicito, estamos teniendo un problema identico y estoy seguro lo vamos a resolver, gracias.

Yo dude great video on the Toyota ignition wife lost the key and everybody else seems to think that is just normally going to have the key and you can put it in the accessory position they don't tell you nothing about having to drill it out stuff that was totally informative thank you brother

this video saved me a ton of headaches. been battling my ignition for quite some time. thanks for posting

thanx for the videos man, great info, i started learning as a locksmith years ago, basically on older cars without smart keys and transponders stopped round about 1995,i recently lost my job on the refinery, decided to use my money that is due to me for buying the xhorse dolphin and the accessories going with it, to start a small business and getting back into the game, in the old days i was going to try and pick that toy ignition to acc, to press that button in, and pull the cylinder out, once that's done i was gonna strip that cylinder down to the barrel ,then hand file the key ,rough up the blade a bit to where if you put a bit of pressure on the brass slide it makes a mark where your cut should be, then file that mark until the slide is level with the barrel, do eac one and then do the other side, eventually flipping the key around in the barrel to mirror the other side that's how i learned to make keys for the first two years with hand and file, after that i went to guide keys or depth keys didn't touch a cutting machine for three years when i started learning the trade

Hi MY Keys Automotive, I'm going to attempt this on Saturday on my 04 Tundra. Just an update my part came in, and my truck is back in business. Thanks so much for posting this video.

Thank you for your assistance on my dad’s work truck! I vouch this guy, he knows what he’s doing!

Thank you for the great explanation of this process! Best one for 2st gen tundra!

very good job and thanks for informing others on how to get business for their new businesses.

Great video. Very thorough and detailed with explaining how to do this. Thank you. GOD Bless you.

Perfect! Just what I needed. Thank you SO much for the post!

Thank you! Your video was so helpful. I successfully replaced my ignition lock cylinder.

I was getting ready to call a locksmith until I saw your video thanks buddy !!

This video is great. Showed exactly what I needed to know to change my ignition lock cylinder.

Thanks for sharing, lost the key to my 4runner project. Loved the dudes in the background when you popped it out. 🤣

Thanks so much for this video. Drilling the hole was key. My truck is running👍

I wish I could subscribe twice. Thanks for this awesome video, I have to do one of these tonight and this will help me tremendously!

Fine video. Last night I could not get my 1998 Toyota Rav4's key to turn to the ACC position. I made many attempts. In the past I have fully removed the igition lock/switch assembly, so I repeated this chore today. Then I went at the button with the drill, as shown in the video. I started with a 1/16-inch titanium drill bit and a $13 corded drill from Harbor Freight. The drill bit was barely making a dent in the button, but things seemed much looser. I tried the key and lo and behold I was able to get the key to the ACC position; remove the cylinder; and replace it with a LockSmart LC63100 from Autozone ($57).

Had the same issue with my tundra over the weekend and followed his instructions and I fixed the ignition. Good video.

Very helpful, thanks. It was a snap for my 2000 Avalon

Thank you so much only video I found to be actually helpful

I just replaced mine out and followed your instructions but my key is still stuck in the ignition any possible things I could have done wrong?. Thanks for the vid it was very instructional and had everything I needed to know about it👍

Thanks for your video bro , just mine , someone tried stealing my truck and jammed the ignition. Cheers

Thanks bro you made it nice and simple appreciate your advice keep it going brother

Thank you very much! You explained things so well and I found your video very helpful!

Thanks to people like you!!

Thank you . This worked well and saved me money

Thanks for the AWESOME video!

Hello, I followed your instructions and they worked perfectly until the point where I drilled out the pin then I pulled out the ignition. My key was stuck in the lock position. At this point in the video, you show using needle nose pliars to adjust the interior mechanism to the “Accessory” position. When I try to adjust it, it won’t move and I can’t adjust it to accessories position, so I can’t install the new ignition because it’s not lined up. Is there a trick to adjusting the interior mechanism. Please I need help Thank you

Preciate the help braddah keep them vids coming

Thank you! You save my day.. DIY and it works!

DUDE! Thank you, same exact thing happend to me on my 07 Corolla, Thank you so much !

You’re the man! Thank you much my brother! Great simple instructions and “BAM” mission accomplished! Couldn’t have done it without your help & knowledge! 🙌MERRY CHRISTMAS!🙌 🙏Much respects!.😇✌️

One of my favorite locksmith channels, I’m a locksmith in Michigan. If I ever have any questions can I email you?

Excellent video, Thank you

The amount of stress and money you saved me!!!! Thanks so much!! Can I like buy your lunch or something?!?!?!

Well explained sir. Good job.

The best job I seen on this problem you made it so simple thanks for your smarts God bless

Hey Thanks.. because of this video I did it myself!! Whoop whoop!!😊✌

Absolutely. Love this channel I just found. Glad I lost my truck keys now. Hope I find them or else I will be using what you know to fix the problem all together. Genuinely appreciate you.

My lock button spins when trying to drill 😭 been drilling for two hours now glad I have your trick sad cause I may need to try something else thanks for the idea tho!

Need to see if you have any information or video on 2012 Tundra ignition Key stays stuck and can't remove. the acc stays on! is this the switch or is it a solenoid on the ignition switch. I've heard it's the solenoid. Do you have a video on replacing or repairing of either solenoid and or switch?

If I change the ignition cylinder and it comes with a new key will I need to get a new lock for my doors to match my ignition key ?

I’m changing my cylinder on 1999 4Runner. Followed everything. But when I turn it on, it sounds like it’s about turn on but doesn’t fire up. Does the alarm on there have any affect that’s preventing me to crank up the engine?

Great video!

EXCELLENT thanks.

God Bless you Bro!

By replacing the cylinder, how did you get the new key to communicate with the immobilizer ECU to get the vehicle started?

Thank you for your video

how often have you found that it is the key itself that is worn out rather than the lock cylinder?

Please I lost all my keys on toyota corolla 1999, it's the type without chips. Would a cylinder change work without having to program keys that would work for the ignition and doors?

good information thank you.

LOVE Y SO SO MUCH... YOUR VIDEOS BEEN SO MUCH HELP IN MY CARRIER THAN YOU VERY VERY MUCH

Thanks. Drilled it out. Bit more work if your bits are worn but go slow, it’s metal not wood.

Are you able to Match the ignition and the doors locks to use Just one key

what about the theft protection/chip in the keys how are they set up? Thanks for the video

thank you for video

You're a g. Great video on this.

Good job, good video!

Will this also happen on a 2000 lexus gs400?

Yes and if you need to wait for the new one. I been using long needle nose pliers to start the truck to move it around the drive way. Secret kill switch..

Thks mannn casue mind started today.

Nice explication

Hi brother it was a great video you make, but when I install the new ignition on and the new key turns on, but the car won’t start. Do I need to program the new keys. Let me know if you can help. Thanks

I replaced the ignition lock cylinder on a Toyota sienna LXE the car crank but won't start. I didn't use original part could it be the anti theft system

You video is amazing! would the same part number work on a 2001 Toyota highlander with the security system (I believe its called the immobilizer)?

Did you rekey the ignition cylinder to match the original key prior to changing it? Or did you just use the keys that came with the new lock?

My key froze and would not move to ACC. I got my old cylinder out but where you turn the switch to ACC with the needle-nosed pliers mine seems stuck and won't turn to ACC! My old cylinder turns freely btw. What now? Is it something else or is there a trick to turning it to ACC?

I followed everything you said. Now the new one I installed with the new key and it doesn't want to come out and it locks on ACC. The key comes out only if I disconnect the battery, only than it releases back to lock and key comes out. Any suggestions? Hopefully I'm being clear so you can understand me. Thanks

Do you have a video showing how to rekey the new ignition cylinder to the old key once we have installed the new cylinder? Thank you 🙏🏼

Thanks man

+1 like from Russia

Hi I followed the instructions but I cannot get the the new Ignition lock cylinder to go in. Everything is aligned to ACC. Also the new keys don't open my doors, is this the wrong part?

Thank you very much know i can fix my t00 Toyota

I bought the same brand lock cylinder at Autozone but with the battery connected, the key wont turn all the way back to remove key. Not sure why only when battery is connected.

My 2000 Tundra AC SR5 has a factory anti theft alarm installed. Will this be a problem when completing this job?

@my keys automotive I have a 2001 Toyota Tundra sr5 2wd with auto theft activated and now it will not crank or turnover when you turn the key all the lights on the dash light up but nothing happens

My korean people 😂😂😂 good work man 👍👌

How do you get the new one over to acc or did I get a defective one?

Thank you

Great video, came across your video. Is there any differences with finding one of these on amazon for an Toyota Avalon 1998? And are there any additional electronic security shut offs?

Do you have a video of when the Toyota is stuck in the ACC position and won’t come out? Need a little help on this one it’s a 2005 Toyota Sienna

Bro killed me when he sang closing time

Excellent video,,, but I cannot get the key to release from the cylinder after sliding it back into position ( in the ACC position) and then turning it to the OFF position. They key won't come out.

Gracias me Silvio mucho y ahorre dinero

what size bit did you use to drill that?
