Nat, My husband had to do this today. He wants to thank you, it took him 20
min and 15 min to go get the part. You did perfect. Thank you so much and
great job, he was hating coming home to do this, he had to come straight
home from work to do this and was not looking forward to doing it. YOU DID
GREAT………………. SO FOLKS LISTEN TO THIS YOUNG MAN. OF COURSE
HUSBAND MIGHT HAVE USED SMALLED SCREW DRIVERS OR LOCK PICKS TO TAKE OUT THE
PINS , BUT THE HELP ON HERE WAS WONDERFUL………………..
Thanks for the vid. Nate I fixed my 2002 Camry ignition lock after watching
your video. It took me 20 minutes start to finish, not counting time to
actually go and pick up the part at the parts store. Not sure why there are
people who are posting critical comments here cuz’ your video was very
helpful, like Shane said earlier you probably saved me at least $300.
Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this video. I was able to remove the panels and get
to the ignition lock cylinder very easily. I doubt I would have figured out
where all those screws and bolts were without this video. Took me about 15
minutes to get them all off, 40 minutes to drive to get the new lock
cylinder, then 15 minutes to put everything back together. Thank you!
Thanks for this video Nate. My daughter replaced the cylinder in a few
minutes today. My job was to buy the replacement cylinder and carry the
toolbox. BTW, you don’t need to remove the metal cover, just the plastic
one.
What do you do if the key doesn’t turn?
Very good
Perfect! Thanks. Those other comments are fools. I wonder how long it takes
them to figure out Ikea directions.
hey mate, all good on the Vid. I got your point which is all you need. If
they need step by step instructions then they shouldnt be doing it…!
Question though, is there any security code or the like in regards to
swapping it out.
I have a 95 Camry. I am planning to finish this in the morn. I tried all
night tonight but my key does not turn to the ACC position. Please help me
understand what to do in detail. I am truly stuck and don’t have money for
a professional.
Your freaking video was a mess
hey idiot what sixe screw .. torx? phillips? or metric.. your a dumbass for
tutorials
To save everyone lots of time and the headache of taking the whole
underside apart, go ahead and fast forward the 3 minute mark. Pop the bezel
off ignition area. Continue watching video. At the dealership I worked in
for 15yrs we would joke about the flat rate for this job only being 30
seconds instead of 30 minutes.
Hi Nate
My problem is that once in a while the key will not return to the lock
position. Do you think this is still an ignition problem? You put the key
in it turns just fine starts the car no problem but then here is where the
problem starts.Your home you shut the car off but it only gos to the ACC
position and no further. You play some times your lucky some times your
not. Does the key have turn some thing to lock the wheel that could be the
problem or not? The ignition has had a lot of use over the years no doubt.
The car is a 1997 Camry with 149,000 miles. Also excellent step by step
video it really helps people who can’t afford to go to the dealer to get a
repair done. WE ALL THANK YOU !!!
Exactly
Make sure key is in the ignition and in the ACC position.
yes it was…even I was depressing the pin and felt it unlocking in ACC
position…but still didnt move a bit…maybe I need to buy the whole
system..with the housing switch…and it doesnt look that easy..to remove
how long should it take for a layman? half hour? hour? how much should they
charge in hours for labor at the gas station.
Is there a way to remove the cylinder if U cant turn the key to the acc
point? Thnx
Thank you, Nathan. You just saved me $300.
I would suggest carefully drilling out the lock or drilling out the small
pin that I show in the video at 3:34. A web search might also turn up some
answers. Good luck
It took me a few hours because I did not know what I was doing at first.
For an ordinary person with basic skills it should take no more than 2
hours. If you follow my video and have all the basic tools ready to use it
should take less than an hour. If you are not comfortable or don’t have the
time to work on it yourself I believe a good shop would change no more than
2 hours of labor.
Nate, Where can I buy the ignition lock?
The replacement ignition lock should come with a new key. You will have two
keys – the old key for the doors and trunk and the new key for the new
ignition
The part I have listed in the description of this video comes with a key.
It’s the same one I ordered.
I have a link in the video description.
You could probably remove the lock cylinder without having the key in acc,
but it will be tough removing the cylinder. Having the key in acc allows
the spring to pushed in completely.
You can re-code the new ignition lock to your old key. Or you can use the
same old ignition lock, but you need to take it apart and removed the
tumbler that make the key stuck. the easy way is to take the ignition lock
to the lock smith and they will rebuild for $40..
Nathan I have a 98 cam…i did the same procedure as you did…but the
cylinder still stuck..cant get it out..even use some wd40…but didnt
work…what about the connector on top of the switch(white one)..i dont
know..any suggestion ? will be apreciated
when i change the ignition lock do i need a new key its a 2001 Toyota Camry
