Did everything you said for my mom's 2007 Honda Accord and it worked perfectly. Tripped me out that the key transponder thing worked as well. Saved us allot of money brotha, THANK YOU.
Thanks a lot...,I'm a mechanic and when I do ignition switches,I hate having to tell my customers that they have to call a locksmith after,this will save them money and make me more because now I can do an complete job..... Your a smart and helpful man... thanks
@@Gasdieselgarage i have a 99 accord just replaced the ignition tumbler with new harness and keys, only thing is can't program keys car starts with the new keys but have to disconnect the battery for ignition to fully release keys.. any suggestions sir
I did this with a used ignition from a junk yard. It didn't work initially. I had to strip all of the electronics off the donor ignition, and replace them with the original, only using the mechanical tumbler/cylinder from the donor and the donor key. I then had to swap the chips from the original key to the donor key to get it to work, but it works fine now. Thanks for the video!
Awesome video. I followed the video exactly and my car now starts like a charm. My steering wheel was locked and my key would not turn, until I replaced the cylinder assembly exactly like the video. This video probably saved me thousands. A shop would have charged me $800 for the part, $300 for labor and another $300 to program the keys. Not to mention the tow bill. You are a genius.
I have to thank you my friend this totally worked on my 05 accord. I lost the key blade but still had the fob with the transponder! I live in the mountains & the closest locksmith was over a 100 miles away & quoted me $870 the cheapest was $650, I followed your instructions & your link for a total cost of $65 & 3 days later had my car up & running!!! You saved me a lot of $$$!!! Just needed you to know I'm beyond grateful & that I appreciate your videos brother!!!
Did exactly as show and all worked out great!! Only I had my new ignition unit rekeyed with a local lock smith before installing ($80) and avoid having to cut out chips and carrying extra keys. Totally worth it in my opinion
I did exactly what you did and my started. Only issue is programming working key to the 2nd key. I used the autel 508 without success. Long and short, i am happy that i got 1 working key and not stuck in the barrel like before. All for $AUD 80. Thanks heaps mate.
Just did this today on my 04 accord thanks to your video. I ordered the same ignition unit you linked and it fit. Went and got a chisel set from harbor freight and got to it. The left bolt head for me came off simple enough but the right gave me trouble so i just bent the bracket enough to get it out. As far as the key goes i had to file down the inside notch on the cap that is angled to fit the angle cut on the chip. Once that was done the cap seated all the way flush without glue. Starts and runs great now. For anyone reading this , it can be done and you can save yourself a lot of money if you dont mind having an extra key along with the fob key.
omg, i can't BELIEVE i actually got the old assembly off using a hammer and chisel. things like this NEVER go well for me, but thanks to you sir!!!!!! woot!!!
This is the best and most straight to the point video I found on this. My ‘05 accord just had this problem. I’m going to try this now. Thank you brother!👍👍👍
I did this on an 08 odyssey and it worked however heres a tip. We had purchased a used ignition off another odyssey which came with its own key. If you are using a used ignition with the key that came with it, it will also have a transponder in that key. When trying to place the keys over each other as in the video, the car would not start. You must first remove the transponder out of the new key you received in order for it to work. The overlapping of the keys worked in this video because the key that was used was new with no existing transponder in it.
Same process followed for honda CRV, however I swapped over the other 2 black parts aswell (not sure if necessary) all working now just need to mount it back on the steering column, the hardest part was the anti tamper bolts, persevered and just as I was about to give up it came loose, cheers for your help mate
I had the same exact issue, but I was able to eventually get it to work by releasing the parking brake and turning the steering wheel to the left as hard as I could while simultaneously turning the ignition and it started right up. Not sure if this trick will work for everyone or if I just got lucky but this is the second Honda Accord that I’ve done this with. Hopefully this helps somebody else so you won’t have to replace the ignition. But if that doesn’t work, this is video is a perfect step-by-step process!!
Dude you just saved me a bunch of money. My only problem was that the tamper proof bolts seized completely and I had to cut the bracket off with a dremmel without cutting into the steering column.
Yep I believe it brother…couldn’t tell you how many times I seen techs at the dealership actually try to cut it off too….yes I worked at a Honda dealership for many years
I swapped ecus in my acura to make it compatible for hondata. My autel wouldn’t support the relearn and vin writing process. But given this info I just need to go back to the yard and grab the key cylinder and immobilizer from the donor car to match the new ecu. So much love and appreciation for you for posting this. God bless you brother!
Just happened to my 04 Odyssey I’m scared to fool with it. I had no choice but to take it to the shop find out in the morning what he’s going to overcharge me.😂 Awesome video Thanks.
Thanks for the video. I am replacing ignition on a 2008 Element and had hella time getting everything out. Finally removed the steering wheel and that sure helped!
Excellent video!! Thank you so much. I have no experience working on cars or with tools and I was able to replace the ignition on my 2005 Honda Accord. I ordered the replacement from the link in the description for about 60 bucks!! Thank you again super helpful video man 👍
@@Gasdieselgaragehey man. Great informative video. Kinda got myself in a pickle. I have a 2007 Honda accord that was having the buzzing issue trying to start it so I looked on UA-cam and figured it was the ignition switch. I replaced it and now my cranking issue is solved but the car won’t start. Not sure what to do
@@asmrgodzzz7549 do know if the engine is getting fuel?…..easiest way to figure that out is to spray carburetor into the intake and crank the engine ..if it runs for few seconds then you know it’s a fuel delivery issue
@@Gasdieselgarage I just cranked it up with starting fluid and it started and ran for a minute and I shut it off now and tried to restart it and it won’t start again
I'm about to have to do this. Here's hoping this works. I'll update when Amazon delivers and I install it. Update. It was a pain to do because i ran out of day light and those tamper bolts were no joke but i got it installed and it works perfectly.
Hello my dear friend and you are great my compadre and blessings and I thank you very much for the explanation and God bless you I always send you a big virtual hug for everyone and take care of yourselves everyone
Thx for the tip brother i pay 300 for programming and made a key 3 years ago with a odyssey now have same problem with a acura tsx,also a friend told me if you put the old key stick under the switch works with new one w/o remove transponder but i prefer to do the whole way thx again
Wish I saw this before I put everything together 😭. UA-cam should be putting this towards the top of the search list of key reprogramming and ignition switch changes
Just did this and it worked but then realized that I need to carry 2 keys now. One for the ignition and another(the original key) for the doors. So don't throw away the original keys.
I saw this video and thought there was hope thanks for making the video but in my case the old owner lost the key and they have been unable to find it so without the old key I don't have a chip either 2004 Honda Accord sounds like I'm going to have to bend over for the dealership after all. The car is in fairly decent shape a couple hundred dollars worth of work should get it through inspection plus a set of four tires it appears the most expensive part of this whole car will be the key which will probably still be less than two car payments of a new car.
Nice video.... I'm swapping out my Ecu, ignition switch and immobilizer to put on another car same make and model. 2003 honda 4cyl. Will it start right up without programming anything?
I’m having hard time getting security screws out. My Dremel crapped out on me in the middle of cutting a slit. I don’t have the patience to hit it with a screw driver and hammer. My steering wheel locked to so hope it goes to get in way of taking off screw behind steering wheel.
I am having trouble with my honda civic 2015 ignition key switch, thanks to your tutorial I know I can do it. Q. Any idea where can I buy it. Thanks for your help.
Having the same problem with my honda fit jazz 2010..have swapped the immobilisers already, the old key and the new are in the same key holder since i cant tear up my new key like you, i think am afraid of messing it as i only got one key but the light still on... what do I do
What do you have to do if you totally lost the old key and i bought a new key and ignition switch but dont have the old key to take the transmitter out of so what steps do i take now?
Could you do the same thing with just replacing the cylinder? I guess it's called. It has the cylinder with the wafers, and it all slides in to the locking piece. With like a dove tail on it. Could you just replace that if it came with a new key and you switched the transponders?
To answer your question YES but it may need to be programmed if the key is new. If it’s just the mechanical tumbler (cylinder) you’re replacing you should have no problems
I took my key apart and I didn’t find a black chip but inside the actual key was a little rubber holder and there was a glass little tiny tube in there is that the chip? Coming out of a 2005 civic key? I did switch the transponder over like you did to the new ignition and I held the key up but I still get a flashing green light. Any advice on that one?
Put in new ignition unit with old immobilizer, placed old key next to new key, engine will crank fine but does not start. Is that due to the immobilizer not reading the chip in the old key? Thank you for any advice!
I mean I have a problem. My key fob on my '04 Accord is pretty ate up at the top, but I highly doubt the transponder fell out on it's own from general wear and tear. I think on mine it's located kind of top right in-between 2 buttons, but I can't tell if it's my tumblers that is the problem, the fact that I have to super glue now the physical key to the fob itself and it's just not turning correctly while in the ignition or the highly doubtful transponder itself that is malfunctioning somehow. I have to go to work in the morning. I can't really do anything at 11 pm for the next day. It just won't budge it seems. It is stuck in the zero position when there are 1, 2, and 3 positions. It won't go out of zero now though. I somehow got it to work when I went to work this morning though and when I left work this evening. I wish I knew what it was, I'm a sitting duck with my job on the line. This isn't the type of job with a lot of "mercy" either.
Yep. You need to keep your old key. My Honda actually has 4 different keys on the key chain, since every lock on the car uses a different key. Honda's are notorious for the tumblers in the door locks going bad. It feels like I drive a Frankenstein car.
Great video will be ordering and trying this. Before I do so I have a dumb question and please pardon if it’s dumb lol.. If I follow all steps but take new part to be rekeyed to lock smith to use my original keys to match doors will that work?
How can I get the part with the right mobilizer on it? The person that tried to steal my car busted the screw or the mobilizer attaches. So don't think I can swap my old one on to the new unit.
No unfortunately if you need a completely new immobilizer it will have to be programmed by the dealer or a locksmith because the new will have to be programmed along with the new immobilizer. I feel for you I do ☹️
I got screwed by the dealer and now the windows and door unlock but won’t start took battery out and tried the key in different modes of lock and unlock but still won’t start it worked from the dealer for about a month but now won’t start not the battery it a new legend one cleaned terminals still in a theft mode and the green light acts up and when I put key in it stays on for a bit longer than it’s supposed to
You are a king and a chad. One question before i try, do regular valet keys have those transponders in them? Also do you need to allign the ignition lock tumblers to match the old one? Are there paper diagrams to do this, which tool wohld work best for this? Thank you
The valet keys do not have a transponders in them….those key’s only unlock the doors and steering wheel…they won’t start the car. Yes if you want the ignition key to match the door locks you will have to key a locksmith to rekey (match the tumblers) to the doors and ignition… I think there’s kits online that sells the ignition and door locks that are keyed the same but I’d have to research that

No it’s not bud….Does that car engine crank when you turn the key?…..not start….just cranking?
How can you turn the wheel to expose the screws if your wheel locks?
Thank you thank you 🙏
????? BIG GUY how did you turn the wheel to get to that screw without wheel lock activating? i have the same prob with my 03 4door accord my friend
You are a king and a chad. One question before i try, do regular valet keys have those transponders in them? Also do you need to allign the ignition lock tumblers to match the old one? Are there paper diagrams to do this, which tool wohld work best for this? Thank you
The valet keys do not have a transponders in them….those key’s only unlock the doors and steering wheel…they won’t start the car. Yes if you want the ignition key to match the door locks you will have to key a locksmith to rekey (match the tumblers) to the doors and ignition… I think there’s kits online that sells the ignition and door locks that are keyed the same but I’d have to research that
