Not only saved me $900 (quoted on dealer) but also save me a week without a car = no work!
I had previously bought a small tool kit from Amazon to remove car parts and was helpful. I used contact cleaner instead of the DW40 and that did it for me!
Glad to know it worked :)
@@cruse_lifeokokpoooooooooooooooooooooo phone on oooo
Po ooi p
Hey man, would you be interested in selling this video to me....? I'd give you like 40 bucks.
Excellent point- I prefer electrical contact spray with built in cleaner formulation- although WD-40 does work
Those metal pins aren't actually the culprit FYI.
Pull out the little motherboard and you will see 2 little copper circle "pads" use a q-tip and rubbing alcohol to clean that surface as well as the little rubber pad that has 2 more copper pads.
How it works is once the push to start button is pressed the contact points on the rubber pad touch the contact pads on the motherboard completing the circuit. This then tells the cars computer to turn on or off based on its current status.
Where is the mother board
Recommend boycot of honda until they recall all pushstart cars and petmanently fix this at no cost. Anything less is total BS.
What does this mean ?
All the thank yous are nice but wont fix the gd problem...switch will fail again and again few months down the road even if you think u got it fixed..
Never buying one again
Trash
I had my key sensor replaced now my car won’t start. I didn’t have my car for 2 months because it was back ordered. Now what?! I could have been stranded alone somewhere.
My 2016 Honda HR-V had this problem --the dealer initially would not replace the switch -but I found dealer who would. The problem is that this problem does not show in the scope as a problem --so they say they will not replace it. Pretty bad customer service for Honda overall.
I had a similar problem with a 2015 Honda Civic. Push start engine button dash lit up, single click sound and the engine wouldn't start. I checked fuses and relays and they were in good working condition. The mechanic recommended switching out the battery and alternator. It worked for a couple weeks and I got back to square one. I cleaned the push engine button and worked for a couple days then same issue. I checked the brake switch underneath the dash and noticed the push pin was not working correctly. Autozone part only $12.99 Duralast Stoplight Switch SW9720. So far no issues. My last resort is the starter. Thanks for uploading the video.
Do you have a manual?
I’m hoping that fixed your problem because it might be my problem as well.
I just had the same problem, it was the brake light switch.
I took the switch apart and on the inside there were 4 pins. One of the pins was bent further up than the other 3, so all I had to do was bend it back to try and match how the other pins were bent. After that all was good and the car would start like normal. Still, gonna buy a replacement piece.
I have a similar situation just happen today on a 2015 civic I’ve only had for 5 weeks and drove very little.
All of a sudden the door won’t unlock/lock via the key FOB, and when I tried to start the vehicle nothing happened. No sound no lights, nothing.
@@josedejesusrueda4379 I got it fixed. It turned out to be the Starter 😅
You are a rock star! Completely saved me a costly replacement. I used WD-40 electric contact cleaner and it worked great with no residue.
Thanks a bunch.
"Spray lightly near the connector pins and don't over soak it."
Proceeds to drench with button with WD-40. 😂
Worked either way ;)
Exactly what I thought! If the amount he sprayed isn't considered over soaking what is, 3/4 of a can of WD-40?
I came here just for this comment. Great video though!
W40 ??? Nice way to get your car to start a fire or fry the whole system,
Why the hell.wouldnt you use electronic cleaner ?
This worked for me too! 2017 Honda HR-V and was living with the orange light icon on my dash for about a year. Last week or so was having difficulties getting to car to start. Swapped batteries in the key fob twice. Found this video and got the contact cleaner like folks in the comments had suggested, followed your instructions and now the light is gone on the dash and car starts immediately. I really appreciate you making this video and sharing your knowledge!
Honda ignores this collossal problem. Solution is the removal of this failure and replace with tradional key ignition(no fob)
after ordering a failed replacement from Amazon, I just sprayed the electrical plug contacts (on the back of switch) with electrical cleaner spray on my old start switch and IT WORKS!!!!! I returned the Amazon knock-off garbage for a full refund.
Glad to know you were able to fix it!
Wondering if it was a permanent fix or did u eventually have to get a new part?
Thanks a lot, but it was to late for me. I had to pay the almost 1000 dollars. I AM SO upset at Honda. That I won't buy another HONDA. THEY SHOULD DO A RECALL, AND REFUND MONEY SPENT ON THE INFIRIER STARTER PROUCT. WHY??? IT'S A HONDA, NOT A YUGO. SHAME ON HONDA.
Sorry to hear that. Yeah that is a classic business scam many manufacturers do these days.
I fixed my own car because you!! I am so ecstatic. The detail in your video was perfect, thank you!!!!!
THIS WORKS! I didn’t want to spend hundreds of dollars fixing this so I did a search on UA-cam. Did it myself in less than 15 minutes. Thank you so much!
My wife has been telling Honda for the past year her start stop button was going bad. They kept saying it was her key fob, thank you for making this video, was able to finally fix it for her without those crooks at Honda.
This worked like a miracle!! Thank you I seriously have been getting so annoyed with close to 10~20 presses sometimes to get it to start I was worried one day it would stop working and I’d be stranded, now works first press
Thank you! Thousand times thank you! I was thinking about changing the car already. God bless you!
Thank you very much. It was getting frustrating but now its working like new!!
Yes very frustrating 😑
If it is so easy to fix then tell me this:
Why aren't dealerships doing it free of charges?????????
I think you already know the answer to that.
Hell yes! Thank you so much.
I am a single mom. This was really going to be so tough to fix at a dealership.
I watched your video today and did it myself 💜🙏thank you! Blessings to you! I subscribed! 💕✨✨
What being a single mom got to do with it ? Just saying
Today I pulled my dash out to look at a new radio. I couldnt start my car, I figured the airbag light was a problem and it was.
But ALSO there is an antenna next to the cigarette lighter, if that isnt plugged in it will not detect the key farther away.
Just watched your video, same problem on my 2016 Honda hrv, did just like you said, worked on the first push, and the little key light is gone in the dash. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Will be trying this trick on my wife's FIT. Note to self: For the next cars...keys not push buttons.
If i just bought a new push to start button, would that fix the issue?
That would also work yes. Unless it's your engine starter module that went bad.
Honda sucks. Should replace for free. Thousands of hondas with this problem and nothing. Alot of recalls. Multiple billion company and they can't to this for free. Wtf
Just did it!!!! My HRV wasn't starting for like 3 weeks now, sometimes it would take me to press the button 30-40 times to start it! watched this video, did everything step by step, used a CRC electrical contact cleaner - car starts from the first try and light is gone! Thanks for this video man what an amazing save that was!
Def checked the comment section before trying this but THANK YOU!!!!! As loud as i can say it! Im sure it wouldve costed MONEY to fix! Thank you and I subscribed🏆
Contact Cleaner (with no oil) you need, it's a contact not a screw or bolt to need WD-40 which in long term it's not good for many things as circuits-soft plastics etc.
My 2015 acura ilx is having this issue but I'm not able to understand how to fix, any tips?? Before I take it to get diagnosed
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! I JUST HAD THIS ISSUE TRYING TO START MY CAR 3 TIMES, THINKING ITS MY KEY NEEDING BATTERY. IT WORKED AND GOT THE KEY SIGN OUT. CAR IS STARTING WITH JUST ONE PUSH NOW. I HAD THE HUSBAND DO THE WORK THOUGH. 😁
Great! Glad to know it helped!
Watching at 2024! You rock! Saved me a lot of trouble!
Totally worked for my Honda HR-V 2017 EX-L!!! Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Wow i did on my car and it worked too. The last step to remove the cap on the push start case - to expose the circuit - was the hardest!
Took Homer a min too. So I imagine it can be a pain.
You’re the best! Thank you for sharing this awesome tip.
DeOxit D5 100 would be best to clean the pins.
Dude worked beautifully. Only struggle was getting that last cap off. After that car starting like normal.
This is only temporary as Honda use’s an updated start/stop switch Part number ending in J2 is the old switch and J3 is the improved switch
Was there a recall?
@@yezkaholic static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10184317-0001.pdf Honda gave a 9 yr extension to your warranty, won’t replace it for free if you have over 125,000 miles. Take it to any dealer.
@@LucasHanyok yes I have a service app this week. I don't have the warning light so hopefully they still change it for me
Is there a better cleaner than wd-40? That stuff is not good for electronics
Help. I have a 2013 Honda Accord ex-l. It takes multiple button pushes to start most of the time. I just hear a single click when it fails. When it does start it sounds normal. I changed the battery and the alternator tests good. I’ve narrowed down the problem to either the start button or the starter. How do you know if it’s a bad starter or if I need to clean/replace the button?
Hi, what did you find out? I have the same exact car with the same exact problem.
How do you remove the panel to clean the start button switch?
@michaelbiondi7635 Me too. First, I had the old one removed and tested. They said it was nothing wrong with it. Had them put it back on the car and it still was doing the same thing. So I just had them replace it and it works fine now.
@michaelbiondi7635how much did it cost you?? I have the same problem
Thanks a lot for share this video! Salute!👍
OMG I have this problem almost a year ago with my 2016 HRV honda im going to try fix it.. thanks 🙏 a lot hopefully it works out for me
Thank you very much, your diy video made me do it, same as you, i was thingking that it might be dirt or elements that insulates the pins and causes its contacts not to start. Your video gives me the push to do it. 😊 now I'm your newest subscriber haha.
Thanks!
Did you use compressed air rather than wd40? Did it work?
Totally worked, thanks brotha. I'm not very electronic literate so I was a little weary of putting wd-40 on the circuit board but I just took a leap of faith and wouldn't you know the car started right up and the little key light is gone. Life saver.
Keep in mind, this was temporary fix. Couple weeks ago I had to change out the starter unit as the car would not start at all with the old faulty unit.
you deserve all the money you make out of this video and then some! thank you so much!
Didn't make a single penny! :)
(Not enough subscribers)
My pust start just start to malfunction and i searched for this video. Will let you know when its done. Thanks very much
my man.. you just saved me a bunch of money thanks.. it worked perfectly. i used electrical cleaner tho. you got a new subscriber
I just subbed too!!
Well done sir. When and if this problem comes up I know what to do.
Unfortunately, this did not work for me. I have a 2014 Honda Civic and the push button is not the same. I was still able to disassemble and clean the contacts, not only once but a second time a week later. FYI: I used contact cleaner and not WD40, I also used a small eraser to remove excess oxidation off the contacts. The reason I did it the second time was because the body was just a little loose and I was able to make it a tighter fit by adding a couple small pieces of electrical tape. I thought this would help keep the contacts make a better connection. Still did not resolve the issue. My brake light switch seems to be working properly as my brake lights always work. I think I may need to buy a new push start button. I would add a photo of my push start if I knew how.
So I replaced the push start button, and it still has the same symptoms. I also replaced the brake switch and still no improvement. Any thoughts on what else might be the problem? Starter, motherboard, send/receive unit?
Inside the switch, 4 tiny metalic spring loaded pins that make the contact when pushed, are so flimsy and weak the contact becomes intermittent. As well, the metalic contact lines get worn and lose contact line surface over time which adds to the intermittent contact.
Eventually you push 20 or 30 times hoping for ignition but contacts are gone . New switch only option. Shame on honda. A 25 cent pin, stranding a modern vehicle. Switch costs around $230
On my 2013 Accord the engine does not always start. When it does not start I continue to hold the brake pedal down then push and HOLD the START/STOP button and it will start. This indicates that there is a possible problem with either the push button switch or the brake switch.
Yeah exactly!! this car happened to my car after I had a accident somebody hit me on the driver side..
If there is a real mechanical problem, please do take your car to a garage. This video highlights a "temporary" fix to help you start your car and get from point A to point B.
@@tamianicoledoingme3007 Sorry to hear that.
Hopefully this temporary fix works for you until you can get a mechanic to find the real issue and fix it!
Hello Michael , I have same issue on my honda civic 2015. it does not always start , i need to press the brake hard or try multiple pushbutton off/ on cycles and then it start...i happened to show it a mechanic he was pointing to starter motor faulty...but iam not sure ...did you get the issue fixed ?
Sorry to say but it is a common trouble with this technology. A normal key that costs a buck worked flawlessly but hey why keep something that works....
Dealerships not ashamed to rip customers. Big bonanza. They will drain your funds by giving you the run around...i.e. change starter, change battery, change control module etc. etc .
All extortion. None of it will fix tge issue and honda knows it.
Worked for me.
Will update.
Thanks so much, this really works! Solves the problem in less than 10 minutes! 🙏🏼
I couldn’t get the second piece off the button, so I used canned air to dust it and it did the trick too!
Thanks so much for this video ♥️
You are welcome 🙏🏽 glad we could help!
Does this work for other push start cars?
Gonna try it. Thank you for the easy fix solution Hoping it works!
Let us know if it works!
Go back to cheap $2 keys 🤪🙄🤣😂
Do I need apply brakes before I posh to start engine of Honda CR-V?
I do not think it is needed but if your dashboard specifically says to apply brakes before starting then you should.
No compresser to help blow some of the WD40 off?
Does the starter click when button is pressed?
Worked like a charm! Thanks for the video
Anybody have this issue with a Honda fit?
yes i cant start my car at all did you fix this situation ?
@@mansamusa2947 mine ended up being the starter, car works perfect now
It didn’t work for my 2016 HRV 😔 Now I can’t even stop the car! Lights are off, but it’s beeping and can’t even lock the doors 😩
That's the symptom of a battery that's near dead.
Took a bit longer than a few minutes, but I have short arms and fat fingers lol. That back cap was a total pain! But after all was done IT WORKED! Thank you for the tutorial - definitely saved me $$ 😊
worked like charm!
Just want you to know I super appreciate you. This was really easy fixed and saved us a tone of money
Simple fix for this problem is to press the button completely and spray a plastic safe electrical cleaning aerosol into the bottom edges.
Let the electrical cleaner set until it's completely dry.
Your switch will work as if it were brand new again.
I used CRC Electro Clean....
Thanks for the recommendation
@@cruse_life Since doing this, it's been operating perfect. Would have cost me $400 to get fixed at the Honda dealership....
Wish I would have shot video showing how simple it is to fix....
@@bryanduchane2371 do i have to take off the switch like the video did or just press and spray?
@@bryanduchane2371 last year cost me $800 to fix it, happening again yesterday, call the dealer after ten minutes, car go back to normal, I still don't know what is the problem .every time almost need oil change, the dashboard show oil change signal, but form this year, away show me wrong signal, after few times,I know what I need to do with them, just call the dealer. I guess it is computer technology problems, has nothing to do with the car.
@@irisluo2014 $800 to fix? What did they say was the problem that it would cost $800?!?!?!? 😲
WD-40? Weird I would think electrical cleaner
Hey, it worked without damaging anything:)
Seems like an electrical cleaner would make more sense. I guess the question is what is the WD 40 doing? I like things to make sense
WD-40 also makes a fast drying electrical cleaner.
What about a 2016 CRV?
Oh sorry, most important can I take my button out on my Accord the same way you pulled it out of the CR-V??
We pulled it out of an HRV. If your accord has push start button then the steps should be similar.
wish i had a ice cream scooper
Just bought a 2020 Accord (first push-start). If it does go bad, I know what to try first, thanks!
Q: I just bought a 2018 Honda HRV from CarMax a week ago. I started having this issue just today. I wish I can try this fix but might void the “return car in 30days” and the “90 repair warranty” policy.
There is a recall for this. Anyone have issues with your dashboard display after fixing the start/stop button?
On my 2015 Accord Ex, the dashboard lights and the headlights come on but there is no cranking to start the engine. My car has s 2.4 Liter 4-cylinder engine with Manual Transmission. The battery seems fine (14.46 Volts) when the engine is running and 10.48 volts when the engine is off. It happens randomly and there is nothing I can do except keep trying and trying until the car starts. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you.
My girlfriends HRV was up to well over 50 presses per start, it just got totaled from hail damage so we weren’t willing to pay mechanic prices. But this worked flawlessly to get her around before the trade in
If your car is under warranty, do not do this even if it works. Honda dealers will know that you took it apart and they will make excuses like "we found water" so it won't be covered under warranty.
That is a good point, thanks!
Why WD40 and not electronics cleaner?
WD40 doesn't harm electrical components from my experience. Used it on all sorts of electronics from headphones to motorcycle wiring.
Thank you so much for the detailed instructions! It was so helpful and my hrv can finally start now. 🎉
HR-V AND CR-V have different push buttons....you can't squeeze the sides and pull out the button on the CR-V.
Audio guy is saying spay lightly. But the guy in video is really soaking it giving it a bath in WD 40. LOL. Other youtube vids zero in on the same fix. Thanks for the upload.
I didn’t have anything to pry it open, although was scared to break its clips.
Through frustration at the difficulties I depressed the button and sprayed WD40 into its housing, hoping it would seep in and down through the mechanism and onto any contacts. I figured that the diagonal angle of the button situated in the dash would help the liquid trickle down.
IT WORKED! So pleased. Fingers and everything crossed that it continues!!!
Sounds simple enough that I could do it, gonna try, thanks
Let us know if it worked!
let me know if it works! i’m absolutely frustrated the way my vehicle won’t start when i need to get to work!
Awesome Julian, thank you. BTW, you wouldn´t have an idea how to bring back to life the nav screen? Mine´s been stuck on start screen since forever.
Wow! Thanks for the video, my dude. It took less than 5 minutes to do the whole process, and key warning disappeared from the dash. I went ahead and ordered an after-market starter switch just in case the problem comes back.
Honda quoted $600 to replace push button.. Thanks for saving me that!
what about if i need to press 2 times to turn off my hrv? thats my problem, in order to turn it off i need to press it twice or hold it for like 3 seconds to to it off.
This is a warranty repair issue look up Service Bulletin 20-117, for 2016-17 pilots and 2017 ridgeline. American Honda is extending the warranty for the keyless start system on these vehicles to 9 years from the original date
of purchase or 125,000 miles, whichever comes first
Was helpful but that accompanying annoying music.
Great video
Music is annoying as hell but good info
Funnily I agree XD Most future videos will have quieter music or none at all!
There is another video showing the dash having to be disassembled. Thank you for showing this process much easier!!!!!
Am wondering if this would help with my S2000???
My car starts and shut off fine but power says it's still on .on the dashboard what can that be
Wonderful trouble shoot. No one would have guessed it. Why did you spray WD40 and not electric contact spray?
Amazing. So helpful and simple. Thank you!!!
My Honda is doing the same thing but my light isn’t on 🤷🏻♀️
Would graphite work on this? Like lubing key holes on the old style ignition switches.
How to remove it on a 2019 Honda accord sport ? Really appreciate the help
Have a 19 civic. I assume the process is the same.
So it's the contacts which got dirty?
Great video, but don't use WD40. Using rubbing alcohol on a cloth or que tip
