    Very helpful - took me several tries over a few days to finally get my key to turn in the lock to the ACC position and as soon as I did I moved the car and disconnected the battery and pulled the ignition out as I watched your video - nice job! Thank you!

      Yes. There is no special programming needed.

      ​@@RCKHUGrAdventures hello, after watching this and similar videos, i switched out an ignition switch on an 08 Hundai Azera,. . When going to start the car, it cranks and cranks but doesn't quite turn over, even though it sounds like it really wants to. .the "Pros" are saying the computer needs to be reprogrammed for the new switch. Is this correct? In video you n others just replace it and it starts right up.
      I also feel like if the computer didn't like the new key, why would it even try and start?
      But then again...I'm no expert . . obviously!
      Two others who've heard the engine are saying it might be the fuel pump.

      A quick google search led me to a couple of posts that state the Azera key does have a transponder and needs programming. The Sonata key does not. Try putting the old key near the dash when using the new key and see what happens. Otherwise you'll need to see about how to program the car to the new transponder.

      You will most likely have to drill out the key slot enough for it to turn. A locksmith should be able to help if you're not comfortable doing it yourself. If not, any competent mechanic can do it.

      No. It must be in ACC or the release button won't push in. I haven't researched what to do if the key has been lost.

      @@ashleyd4589 I just figured mine out--I did a couple rounds of wd40, then shaking/turning steering wheel (low to medium aggression), while jostling key....eventually it worked itself free. The problem will persist if, after getting it started, you don't add MORE wd40 in the mechanism while turning key on/off, on/off. The fix works but even with mine, I think it's just time to replace key lock cylinder. Even if I don't do that soon, at least I know what the problem is .... Good luck!!
      Edit: mind you, I went back to the car up to 4 times before the wd40 settled into the problem area. Even then it was ahassle--but this "hack" works

      Could try tapping the lock cylinder while applying light pressure to the key. Sometimes the little pieces get stuck and a little vibration may help get things moving

  • @DigiDarkness

    Recently purchased this model, do you have to lightly push the key in while turning to start it? It says push on the switch, so I'm assuming you do? Just asking cause every other car I've owned you can stick it in, flip it right over without having to lightly push the key while turning

      I installed this today. I finally got the old one to turn to ACC and then I removed it. I turned the new one to ACC and installed it.
      Problem is I now can’t turn the new one to ON or RUN (which I could do no problem before I installed it) and now that the old one is out, I can turn the old one no problem from OFF to ACC to ON to everything. Apparently this was NOT the problem piece. 😠
      There is also a white plastic piece on the backside of the ignition column that I’m going to look around in that space first just to see if I see something broken or obviously wrong. Otherwise I’ll try replacing that white plastic piece next. 😢

      There have been comments about using WD40 or some other lubricator down where the key goes. When mine went out, my son was able to move the key around, up and down and get it just right to where it would turn. Others have said that you have to remove the entire assembly from the car and punch out the pin with a punch and hammer. I was lucky and got the key to twist.
