Pretty straight forward. Leave a comment if you have a question, please feel free to check other comments to see if your question may have been answered. Thanks for watching.
My key won't turn to accessory. That's why I need to remove the cylinder. ;_;
What did you end up doing to fix it? I’m in the same situation
Thanks, you saved me $150! Bought the part on ebay and installed it myself. Then I paid myself the $150 and bought something else! Thanks sir.
If your key won't move the ignition, you need to drill out the pin. But to note, the pin will rotate with the drill bit. It's possible to do, but difficult. No way to really hold it, just takes time.
My key wont turn to acc,so how can i get ignition out without turning to acc?t.i.a
My 1997 TOYOTA 4Runner had a similar issue, Unfortunately mine would not turn at all not even to the Accessory position, so I had to drill the little release pin out - then everything just popped out like your video shows. I found my local Autozone had the part called 1997 "4runner ignition lock cylinder". The new cylinder had a fresh release pin assembly (thank u) and came with keys, I just aligned the slot on the new cylinder to the flat rod in the existing housing and slid the cylinder in. Thanks again your video helped me greatly.
I've seen people use a dremel and I rememeber there being a MUCH easier and less expensive way to do it. Thank you @crappy60!
You’re very welcome. 🤙🏻😁
Can I still be done if you don't have the key
if you cant get key to turn, you can just drill out the pin instead of the whole lock cylinder. just take your time and dont drill into the aluminum housing. it will pop right out
Thank you so much for your kindness!you saved our time figuring out "HOW?"!👌
@George the set of keys I installed are regular keys, no transponder chips inside.
Thank you so much for this video!!! My ignition lock totally shit out in front of a krogers and thanks to this video I swapped it for a new one in about 5 minutes. I can't believe how easy it is! Thanks man!
You're welcome sir

Hey bud, I think I’m doing something wrong or maybe the part behind it is bad, I’ve pulled my old one out and I have the new one in, but still nothing, and it’s fully seated in as it should be, any suggestions?
Thanks for any help.👍🏼
@@19ADAM80 ever figure it out??
@@pouncerminned863
Yea finally, it was a job too, I had to get a right angle die grinder and a cut off wheel before it was over lol..
It’s right now though! 👍🏼
thank you for your video, it took me about 10 minutes to replace... the light ring release was the key step not found in my repair book
Thanks for your help! Worked like a charm!
Thanks, man! After watching your vid, I replaced my ignition cylinder in less than 10 minutes.
Hi C, My 2000 Toyota Four runner sometimes the ignition doesn’t want to start. It will start eventually if I try enough times when it hasn’t been driven. Sometimes if I lean on the ignition a few times it will start. Do you or anyone else here think this may be an ignition switch issue? The guy I bought it from told me that he had put a new ignition switch in it before I bought it.
Have you checked to see if the starter is going out?
thank you for the vid, helped me out immensely. I did not have to figure it out on my own.
Seriously? It's that easy? I can do that! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you! Watched your vid a couple times... following your instructions, I went out and changed my ignition switch and it was super easy. Thank you.
How do you get the lock cylinder out when the key will not turn at all?
That’s whats I’m wondering cause I don’t have a key at all…
Worked a treat, thanks mate.
THANK YOU for this! You are awesome for having made the effort to post this.
Thanks for posting this video, mobile mechanic #1 said it would be a minimum of $280 to replace my PreRunner's ignition lock, mechanic #2 said it would be "several hundred" and he'd know after coming out to assess. After watching your video, I drove to O'reilly's, paid $69 for the cylinder, in about 12 MINUTES I was completely done, so you saved me hundreds from being ripped off.
what year was your Toyota 4Runner...?
I have a1999 4Runner I think my has a transponder key....?

Saving money means putting into places that help! Glad to encourage you to go DIY!
Worked for a 1990 corolla. I saw the pinhole button on the bottom but didn’t realize it had to be in the ACC position. Thanks a bunch.
Not one video shows how to take out the ignition starter switch that is on the backside of the lock cylinder, mmmm I wonder why?
In this case, I didn’t use a tripod at the time because I was recording on the fly. If I were to remake this video it would definitely look a lot different. I don’t have access to the vehicle anymore.
Thank, you D
@George or if you get a new lock cylinder with keys that come with transponder chips, then yes you have to have those keys programmed. Any key maker that is a small business usually can program them.
Man, I got the column hanging. Riding around like I stole it. No tags. Trying to figure out how the heck I get that back in place.
So the one you installed didn't have problem starting the vehicle with the keys having no chips? I was going to order new ignition cylinder w/ keys for my '03 Sequoia and was worried that I will have problem starting the vehicle due to the chips/security code.
Bad ass!
@Clarence I would put some graphite in the slot where the key goes in, to lubricate and hopefully loosen the tumblers inside the lock cylinder which then will release any seized pieces
Thankyou I put up with a sketchy ignition switch for years. 1 hour and done. Save me 2 to 3 hundred
thanks for this!
You're welcome
Hey I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to post this. I have a 2000 Tundra and everything was pretty much the same, took about 45 mins to complete thanks to you and your video.
The key will not insert to turn to Accessor!!!
Try turning the wheel and then turning the key. If the steering wheel column has a lock in it that can prevent. The steering wheel can be “clicked” into place and then the column is locked. Hope this helps.
The video is labeled toyota forerunner, but you state its a 98 ford.....which is it??
Your video was a big help...My pick up was broken into and they did a number on the ignition. But by viewing your video I was able to remove the ignition and get it started. Thank you.
Thanks man! I just did it on my 2k 4runner in 5min... Thanks a lot for the video... I just saved $100 for installation
Did you have to program the new transponder keys to work with the old master key's code?
@Mike Schinkel You're welcome sir. I noticed no one had ever posted the whole process of changing it.
Just tried this, heaps easy...its easier than replacing the locks in the doors and I was really cringing about doing this part.
Thank you so much. I was able to replace my ignition switch with ease with the help from your video.
I swapped out my Ignition Cylinder today and even though i have a 2000 toyota Tacoma, your tutorial was still very helpful for this poor college student who cant afford to take his car to the shop so thank you for saving me some money!
Excellent video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for sharing. It was very helpful!!!
@Valerie it is Toyota 4Runner. Not a ford.
thank you for the video.
same problem with my 2002 toyota sequoia.
Good Job 👏 Thanks 🤙🏼
No problem 👍
@bleur you're welcome! Glad the video could help!
thanks for posting! very helpful!!
Good job D, great video, Thanks!
Worked like a charm!!! Thanks!!!!!
Thanks man. Works for 01-02 toyota tacoma
I'm glad I found this video
Super easy fix thanks
Thanks man! Helped a lot.
Thank you, appreciate the video. I was concerned it might be a tough job, but looks pretty simple. I've got a brand new one waiting to be installed!
I replace mines but when I stalled it back in didn't put it back the same position so now when I turn it off its stay beeping and can't take out no more
cjorge0709 halo I have a 97 4 runner 4x4 and then entered the bottom of the ignition key it has two connectors so it has 2 inplug the tiny one and give it a try it works on my truck
@David try to lubricate the lock cylinder like as suggested in my last comment to Clarence.
+crappy60 what if the cylinder wont turn at all.. it wont go into accessories
+Hunter J. Short (Hunter Short) I had the same problem as you, spent twenty min. out there trying to turn the key, and then I had the good or stupid idea to put in the new key that came with the new switch and it got stuck. I wiggled/forced it out, and after that the old key turned like normal.
Cheers mate works for a LN106 hilux for those in AUS
Steven Blake glad it helps internationally!! Stoked you got it fixed! Thanks for watching!
Thank you
I've removed the cylinder, now how to remove the cap to get at the tumblers?
To be honest, I actually don’t know. I’ve never had to go that deep into the lock assembly. I like to try to have a constructive answer but ironically enough there is probably a UA-cam video on how to do it. 😬
Nicely done.
Really appreciate the guidance. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Would this be the same for tacoma?
I’m 50% percent sure but the Tacoma would need to be a 96-02, because it’s very possible they share interior pieces, you nothing to lose by trying.
Still got the car?
T1D bodybuilding unfortunately it was never mine to begin with, it was my mom’s and I was helping her with fixing it.
crappy60 good on you, man. You saved me and your mother a trip to the mechanic... not to mention the ridiculous cost
Someone tried to steal my 4runner and used a pair of scissors and it got stuck inside. So i cant put the ignition into acc to take the ignition lock out. Is there any way to take out the ignition lock cylinder without putting it into acc?
Hi Did you ever get an answer about not turning to accessory? Mine is locked too
Guys get a drill and drill out the pin take your time
I have a 99 4Runner and i took off the bottom cover. How do I remove the cove for the ignition?
Do you mean the plastic ring around the lock cylinder?
No, I got it. It was the cover from the dashboard w/ the wood grain finish. I did all of this, added the new part, and it still doesn't work. My key turns freely in the ignition.
+F430FORME if a set of keys came with the new lock cylinder, the tumblers should be okay, if not it's possible that you have to set up the tumblers internally for the lock cylinder but from my memory I don't remember the mechanism being like that, check the cylinder outside of the housing where it sits for proper operation or look past it to see if anything is broken so we can rule out the ignition lock cylinder
mine decided in my 01 tacoma to stop working today i cant get it to acc is there a problem
It is most likely something mechanically happening inside the lock cylinder that is preventing the key from turning. I know this may sound silly but have you jiggled the key while it is inserted in the lock? That can some times make it also if you lock the steering wheel make sure to turn it and relieve pressure applied from having the steering wheel locked, another tip also is to look for some graphite to lubricate the internals. If there are still problems, you will have to change out the unit. Hope this info helps. Good luck
i got it fixed had to have the whole cylinder drilled out then put a new one in final cost 120$
What size are the bolts on the lower trim panel, are they metric?
They are 6mm x 1.0 thread and have a 10mm head.
+Kilo Mike thanks
My 2000 4 runner had the same issue got it changed now it will not start. I have tried everything.
Annette Uhrich When you say it's not starting, do you mean that the engine will not turn over or that the engine turns over but never starts running?
+crappy60 I mean it will turn over just won't start.
Annette Uhrich, do your old keys have a chip inside? If so, you might have to re-code your new keys, most key makers and the dealer can program the key. It was a security option in that time. Make sure you have your old keys to they can go from that. It was a safety measure so that if anyone copied a key they wouldn't be able to steal the vehicle unless they have the key with the programmable chip inside.
+crappy60 I do have them. but I need to figure out how to program the new ones
Annette Uhrich okay, you'll have to find a key maker in town that can program the new key or go to Toyota and have then program it. The local key maker will be cheaper
@George The new ignition lock cylinder being installed has its own keys cut for it so the keys in particular do not have chips in them. If you have a 4Runner and it has transponders inside it's keys then you have to get new keys made for the new lock cylinder going in and have them programmed from your old set of keys.
thank you , I just did it .
Jesus H. Christ is it possible for you to hold the damn camera still ? You are making me dizzy.
Sorry Richard, it was a video I took on the fly a long time ago. I hope the info was useful.
