    I’ve been trying for hours and different ways to get the key out. Hot and frustrated, I almost lost it. Luckily I found this video. Thank you sooooooo much. I appreciate it.

    My God in heaven will bless you and your entire generation. I just tried this method on my 2008 Pontiac G5 and it worked. I have removed the stuck key.
    I was about giving up.God bless you. Thank you

    I created a channel just so I could comment and thank you for this video. My battery died as I tried to turn my car on, resulting in my key getting stuck. My battery is in the trunk, but when help arrived the trunk button wouldn't work and my only key was trapped in the ignition! Can't put my back seats down without trunk access so if not for this video I would have needed to get my car towed all for a dead battery!!! Whoever designed my car is the worst! Seriously, thank you so much!!

      Just had to add that this just saved my father too! Next time either of us get a new car it sure as hell is not having the battery in the trunk, literally impossible to jump your car unless you know to do this!

    You are a lifesaver. My battery died with key ignition couldn’t pop the trunk. Couldn’t get the key out the latch to open up. The seats is in the trunk, which is so stupid only video that actually gave a great solution.

    I wish I could hug you! Your video showed what I was suppose to be looking for so I found it. Somehow my wires in the steering column were all moved around and there wasn't something holding that switch in place. It was moved up behind some other wires but I got to it!

    Thank you sir! I’m out here trying to install this double din apple radio thing and have everything tore apart lol. Tried to take the key out and whoops it’s not coming. I’m getting worried and googled how to do it when your video shows up. It works like a charm bud!!!

    @lagoonguy 4 роки тому +6

    this just saved me! now to unlock the trunk and try to actually charge the physical battery because that positive/negative thing under the hood has -never- worked when i needed a jump. always had to go to the battery

  • @stevenharrison6689
    @stevenharrison6689 3 роки тому +2

    Oh my God thank you so much. Last time I jumped the car from under the hood and it fucked up the computer and It wouldn’t let me shift past 1st gear. All I had to do was unhook the battery for 15 minutes though. So if it happens to anyone of you there you go.

She doesn't know it as yet, she is upsets about it! She doesn't want to talk to me, I went out side all by myself and did it! I will and c what will happen in the morning 😂

    I have this exact issue with a chevrolet cobalt. We had a really cold night and my battery died. The worst part is the battery is in the trunk, and the trunk only opens with two ways: a button that needs power (idk why its not a mechanical lever like the hood!!!), or, THE KEYS!! It's such a frustrating design. Thank you for this.

    GM had several different designs across vehicles for releasing the ignition key. Here are some other types I've recorded.
    If you don't have the small door to access the release button on the lower steering column cover, and have a Chevy Impala, Chevy Monte Carlo, Buick Lacrosse or Buick Allure. Then try this video instead - ua-cam.com/video/0KxLu4RGmwc/v-deo.html
    If instead you have a small slit or access tube below the steering wheel like a Chevy Cruze or Chevy Sonic then try this video instead - ua-cam.com/video/lDHaqjtSPlE/v-deo.html
