Thank you for posting this. My truck was broken into last night and they used pliers to turn the cylinder and damaged it. Truck had a hidden kill switch so they didn't get it but I had to replace the cylinder. Thank you. Happened last night and needed the truck today. It worked.

Great video. Showing a up close video on what you are doing really does helps.
Excellent tutorial and videography. Thanx!

Perfect video. Extremely helpful. Thanks
I would use a magnet or a plastic or metal jar lid to keep the springs from rolling off into never never land.
+David Hatzenbuhler Great tip!
If your new ignition lock cylinder already came with the tumblers installed all you gotta do is transfer the old tumblers from the old lock to the new lock in the same order. Unless they are worn. Then you gotta have the tumblers machined to the original. Usually it's the keeper that wears out though.
In this video he is basically rebuilding the tumblers.
Just thought I'd throw that out so you don't over complicate things and take out more than you have to. This shouldn't be hard to do on a lock cylinder that's already build out of the box.
Great video! Thanks
Hello, if you install new lock cilinder with the key in the package, do you still need to relearn new transponder key? (Because i need to relearn new key with the old one) so how does that work?
Is there a reference chart where I can look up what my key should look like based on vin, so I can compare it to my keys? I just got a 2006 chevy colorado, the key works in the ignition but not the door or tailgate.
Are those numbered pins sold separately and are they specific for each car? Looking to rekey a Nissan Altima ignition
Excellent video! Thanks
Thanks for the help!!!
How did you take the outer piece off?
Is this using the key to the old switch in the new one also when you have to replace an ignition switch is this the only part you need or do you have to buy other parts as well a parts store said there is two different things you need
How much dose a key cost to have one made for a 06 Cadillac CTS base model 3.6 rear wheel drive. And I sending you the code off the cylinder can I send it to u to make that key.
great video! However, i can't order your parts on your site. What happened?
Wish they had one like this for my 2006 hummer h3..been looking.. i replaced one on my 2008 Silverado with no problems..was hoping same procedure for h3..
Hi
What if don't have old tumbler or keys from old cylinder. How to figure out which key go where supposed to in new cylinder. Thanks
Thanks
when I tried buying it online and I called no one knows if the kit comes with the re key kit, when I click the link you provide it takes me to the switch, help!
I would like to know why your parts store doesnt have parts for my car?
Do you guys have one for a 2001 Silverado 2500HD? and if so, what's the part number?
I bought an original part from Holden to replace my cylinder.
It came with brand new pins and springs.
I took the old ones out and wrote down the numbers.
When I put the new spring in and then a pin it does not stay down inside the cylinder like it does in your video.
I checked my old cylinder and put a pin back in and it sits snug and stays inside.
With the new one all the pins are being pushed out by the springs. So it is impossible to put the cylinder back in the sleeve as the pins are all sticking out.
Probably got it figured out already but you fix that by putting the key on the cylinder once you got the pins where they need to be, it locks them in place
Can I get this parts for a 2007 GMC Sierra where the ignition switch has been replaced, but I have found the original key for the truck?
What kind of grease did you use
Hi there I have Mitsubishi lancer 2012 and I want to change the cylinder I bought a new one but don't know if I change the use the tumblers from the old one into the new one would that work or do I need to get new tumblers
Thank you
Change the tumblers. They're the part that wears out causing the cylinder to stick and not turn. The old ones will be worn and cause the same problem so use new ones.
This great, what manufacturers lock cylinders are these available for?
We offer a handful of these cylinders actually. If you are unsure which one you need please give us a call at 888-844-3393 for more assistance! 1aauto.com
What grease do you use for ignition lock cylinders?
+@smartdummy5751 You will want to use a silicone spray or something with powdered graphite.
@@1AAuto is the grease in the video lithium grease? Do they still use lithium grease? Tia
If I code the new cylinder to my old keys, I can just put it in the car and it will start?? I wont have to take it to a shop to have the new cylinder coded to the vehicle's computer system with a factor scan tool?
no, the chip is in the key. As long as you use a key thats already registered to the ecu you will be fine.
how do u get the lock cylinder out of the sleeve its in
I don't see these parts located on their site for 2001 GMC Sierra 1500
what if the 07 Impala SS I bought didn't come with no Tublers in the Ignition
What do u do
If the old cylinder is not the same as the key you’re trying to code?
trial and error with tumblers?
Please help I bought a new ignition cylinder lock, pre programmed with new keys. When I try to start the car it has the theft security light flashing and it won’t start. 1998 Ford Expedition 4wd
+Adam Pierce We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
What if u don’t have old lock cylinder?had to drill mine out...HELP PLEASE
I'm dealing with that. Educated guess and check, and triple check. The numbers on the wafers (the part that he called a tumbler) are directly related to the cut on the key. The deeper the cut, the lower the number is. 1 is the deepest possible cut, and 5 is no cut at all on the key. You can also just do a guess and check. Literally there is only 7 wafers installed on this lock, each with 5 choices. If you do each wafer slot by itself, and make sure the bar goes all the way into the lock, then you only have 35 tries or so to make sure you get it correct for the entire lock.
That, or just bring the new lock cylinder kit and the key to a lock smith, and they can do it for you.
Do I have to computer reprogram vehicle to get car to start after doing this key ignition replacement ?
+Artist Leeon Not usually. Most of the time it's programmable by anyone. It's rare for the dealer to be required. Thanks for checking us out!
Not as long as you don’t replace the immobilizer
How do you program it with the original keys tho?
Call Ford with your VIN they will give you the code
Okay but how do you code an ignition switch if you can't refer off of the old one?
the old ignition tumblers are numbered, if you cant get it out you must have dealer provide key code. This code will be 8 digits long, the 1st number is relevant to the key itself, the remaining 7 are the tumbler numbers.
that was cool
+Fallout Fan Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Will this work for a cylinder from a 1993 f150?
P. , no the 93 F-150 is completely different. It is mechanical with a plastic rod that reaches down the column housing to activate an electric switch about halfway down the column (has a screw in the center to hold it in and just unplugs). If your key turns and keeps going around and around the pin in the plastic rod has come out or broken off and needs replacement. If the cylinder rotates and stops and springs back like normal it could be the electric switch. Be cautious and pay close attention if you have to take the cylinder out and replace the rod as that all has to be in the right sequence and reach to activate the electric switch.
Why grease instead of powdered graphite?
What if they destroyed my key ignition
All I saw in vidios did not help me in trying to start my car. What I did was to put a wire from the battery too one fuse . The signals with a toggle switch than the started...
You're fucking stupid. This is for a lock cylinder coding.
Where are all the old springs I don't understand.
+Shevin Sacrey This video is how to code a new ignition cylinder using new springs. Thanks for watching.
@@1AAuto thanks I understand that. Its just that the video makes it seem as though there were no springs in it before. You see him pushing out the old tumblers, but the old springs are not coming out with the tumblers (or at least it seems that way) but then new springs are being put it. It makes it quite confusing. You should make it clear that there will be old springs that come out with the old tumblers, and that those springs should be discarded.
I lost the keys
