Thank god! Bless you for this. The shop charged me $150 to diagnose and lube the cylinder and told me the ignition had a chip and would cost $850 to replace
Local shop quoted me $500. Thanks to your video I was able to do this repair myself under 30 minutes and for only $60 for the replacement cylinder. You rock!
Thanks! It's really easy to replace! !!! Just 3-5 minutes! Wow! I need to fix same problem on my Avalon 2000
I recently bought a 99 Camry at an impound auction, it came with no keys but the tow driver opened it. This will be very helpful, kind of feels like I'm stealing my own car LOL.
I am in no way mechanically inclined! But, Thank to you I just replaced my Wife's ignition switch in her 2000 Camry. I can't thank you enough for saving me a ton of cash. Local mechanic quoted me $225 plus the cost of the part for replacement. Keep the great videos coming!
Great video! I was stranded pulled up your video and got a ride to advance auto parts and did the work myself following your video and it worked! Now I'm back driving! With my 99 I had to plug negative battery terminal back in in order to get it turn to acc in case that helps anyone. Great video thanks a million!!! I did this at night with my cellphone and iPad for light! No mechanic or tow truck needed!! Great!!
Awesome...glad I could help you!!
Just curious, if you were stranded, how were you able to turn your key to ACC? If that's the case, wouldn't you be able to crank the car all the way? My key ignition won't even turn to ACC...
Thank you! Didn’t realize how easy this was and saved me some money
mechanic charges at least $200 - I did it in 5 minutes, parts $45. I'm a have a $155 celebration now. thanks for the vid craig.
Thank you Timber_beast, I do not like paying shop rates either
You are welcome Timber_beast
Yeah, my dealer mechanic gave me a $399 estimate. I said, "nope!"
Just replaced mine today. I knew it was starting to go on my 2001 Camry, but I was dreading the expense. Saw your video and was surprised on how easy it was. Auto Zone had one in stock and I’m good to go now. My son in law helped me with it, the hardest part was getting he old key to turn to accessory , the rest was a breeze.
How did you get the old key to turn to ACC? I'm doing mine now but can not get the key to turn
@@biblezrock I remember it being a pain to do it . I had to get my son in law to help. We followed this video
th-cam.com/video/6vc1qS66H80/w-d-xo.html
@@biblezrock it was too hard for me to turn but he was able to do it. Hope this helps
good job, now I'm actually save some money because of you.
Thank you so much for this video! It took me 4 minutes to replace my failed ignition switch and I saved a lots of $$!!
That is awesome....glad to have helped you out!!
@@craig84074 sometimes I have to turn the key 20 times to get it to turn over. The key and ignition are so wore out the key comes out in any position. How do I know it it’s the ignition switch or it’s electrical connectors or the starter itself? The battery is fully charged. But it just goes click most of the times then suddenly turns over like a champ. Thanks for any advice.
Thank you for your video! Easy problem, can be fixed in 20 min… saved a lot of money. Thank you again!
This video is a life saver. Worked for my 2003 Toyota Sienna after some little *>#%\!! tried to hotwire it by pounding a screw driver into the ignition. Completely wrecked it. $85 for the Toyota OEM part and 20 minutes of work on my end. Thanks brother 👍
I used your video it works flawlessly I got the part off of eBay actually was OEM $68
Excellent tip my friend, congratulations, like guaranteed. Strong hug here from Brazil ...
Thank you very much . It helped me tremendously
2000 Camry
Only down side is you will end of with two sets of keys , one for unlocking doors and other for starting the car
That is great to hear......I'm glad it worked out for you!
Just a suggestion before you start spending money and replacing parts, it's possible you may just have a worn out key. If you have a spare key try that first. I had this exact problem where my ignition cylindar wouldn't move, i was getting ready to order a new ignition cylinder when i ran across a spare key that came with my car when i bought it and had never used. It was obvious from comparing the 2 keys the one i used on a daily basis was significantly worn. Anyway when i tried the spare key it unlocked just like that.
What would you do if you lost the key completely
Oh thank you! Key is snapped off in the ignition! Can’t wait to try this your a life saver! Sorry I meant $300 saver 😍
Hopefully you can get it turned to ACC..then you should be all set
I had to drill mine out at the pin hole, but fixed it just the same, thanks for posting!
Great job explaining how to do it very well
Does the new cylinder need to be in the Accessory position when you put it in?
btw, I got the new cylinder for about 26 dollars plus shipping.
Excellent and clear video. No BS!!!
Thank you sir..made my life a lot easier.saved me a few bucks
One of the best repair videos I've seen out of hundreds! Clear, concise, clear video and lighting. My ignition is in a similar condition; were it not for teflon lubricant I would not be able to get it past the ON position. Thanks to you I'm confident I can do this myself. A local lock shop wanted about $500!
A couple of questions please: Is it absolutely necessary to disconnect the battery? I would prefer to avoid having to reset the emissions by going through all the drive cycles.
Secondly, did you get the lock re-keyed so that your door key fits or do you now have 2 separate keys?
I'm not an auto technician, but I think disconnecting the battery is just a safe thing to do, but for this repair probably not necessary. Maybe someone else can comment on that. As far as keying my door properly, I just unlock the door with my keyfob. So, to answer your question I did not, as I am fine with an ignition key and then just use my keyfob to unlock the door.
What a great video! This video saved me $250! Thank you so much! One question: can I match the trunk and door keys with the new keys that come with this ignition cylinder?
I'm not sure jason
There is a video on how to do this but it's more trouble than it's worth unless you're willing to take everything apart on both cylinders
You would have to change the locks to match your new keys, just keep the old key for the trunk and door locks
My 2000 Camry is having issues turning the key all the way and turning on the car 1st try, is this what I would need to replace , or the starter?
but what we can do when we lost the keys and need to replace the locked cilinder?
That is not the ignition switch. It is the key lock cylinder. The ignition switch is behind the lock cylinder. It's important to be accurate when ordering parts etc.
Thanks for clarification Jay.
Glad I could help you out!
I have a 2000 Camry, didn’t you have to program the new chipped keys???
There not chipped
After replacement does it need to be reprogrammed or anything along those lines? I have a 2000 Camry v6 Le
My 2000 Camry 4 cylinder did not require any programming
My problem is I lost my key . So am I not able to do this if I can’t turn it to accessory ?
Thank you so much. I was able to swope it out in under 5 minutes.Under $50.00 for part. Save me the extra labor charge.
Awesome...glad it worked out well for you and saved you some money
How do you pry the clips exactly???? It’s to hard to come off for me
sometimes I have to turn the key 20 times to get it to turn over. The key and ignition are so wore out the key comes out in any position.

Aye man thank you for this video
Worked great your Vedio was a life saver. Thank you. It took longer to disconnect battery cable than to change switch.

Thanks , so the new car key is coming programmed , coz Toyota just quot me for 50 for the key 100 to program it ?
That was great 👍 Craig! 👌👌👌♥️
Thank you... but my Toyota Camry 2000 needs a slightly different switch... like, 3/4 instead of this one. Any ideas since it doesn't seem to work with the OEM model numbers? Thank you! 69057-48011
lc63040 will not work with mine.
Thanks for great video. I changed ignition cylinder on 2000 toyota solora. Engine starts but door locks don't work anymore. When key is out alarm sounds as key is still in ignition. Also my astro start doesn't work anymore. Does computer need reprogramming. Can lock all doors from passenger door with my old key but not from drivers door.
That's surprisingly simple
Yes, pretty simple, but the dealer would probably charge $150.00 to do that for you
Very helpful video!
Thank you Sir!
How did the new key passed immoblizer?
Hello I had a problem with the tumbler behind the ignition cylinder. I went to crank my car and when I turned the key to start there was no resistance. I removed the ignition switch and found the end piece of the tumbler stuck inside. I've replaced the ignition switch but when I shut it off the oil pressure indicator and the brake indicator stays on. If I don't disconnect my battery it will drain. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The car cranks fine but power is still being sent to my dash indicators and the digital readout. I have a 2000 Toyota Avalon by the way.
Is this the same for a vehicle with a transponder system????
Great video thanks for that information.
Thank you so much. Bought a new part and had trouble getting the bezel off. Changed it all out. Now I’m having trouble getting the bezel back on. The one on the bottom right corner won’t snap it. Got a set of pliers and pushed the metal piece which actually snaps into the hole to push in a little but still having trouble getting it forced in. I even tried with my rubber mallet. Any ideas? Do I just have to push that metal piece in just a little more before trying to replace the bezel? I also had a moment where the new key wouldn’t go all the way back to the left so I was having trouble getting the key out. It’s my bad luck but at least the new part is I’m so thank you so much. Can’t believe how easy this stuff can be and the mechanic will charge you and arm and a leg? And I’m very fond of my appendages. Lmfao.
I'm not an auto technician, but I'm wondering if maybe the metal clip moved a little on you and it is not lined up properly to accept the stab on the back of the bezel. Sometimes the key will hang up a bit and you may need to just turn the steering wheel to the right and left to kind of free the key up. Not sure if any of this will help, but good luck.
Dam this dude save me hundred dollars ! Thank you so much ! I was lost how i do it all mechanic asked me more then $200 to fix it !!
Farhad....I'm glad I could be of help to you. I can't stand paying for something I can easily do myself.....and the dealers make it sound like a big involved process to fix anything.....NOT!
+craig84074 yes man thanks again !! But my friend having the same problem , we can not turn on the key at all , we call locksmith the asked her little extra money , so we waiting for easy ways if we can do this as well , the key don't turn at all !!
You can try squirting some WD-40 in the key hole, and then insert key, jiggle it around a bit, and see if you can get it to ACC so that you can remove the cylinder.
I had to do this with WD40 and it worked enough to set to ACC
Does this work with the antitheft models
What can I do if I don’t have the original key?
Any suggestions if the the key is stuck in but won't start the car?
Thank so much.
You are welcome. I am glad this video was able to help you.
would a bad ignition switch cause a car to stall?
I’m not an auto tech, but I would say more than likely a bad key switch or ignition switch would not cause your car to stall
What if i can’t go to accessory mode? How do i remove the cylinder
Amazing video
Thank you
Don’t u have to reprogram the key??
Thank you!!!
So, I did this and now my car will attempt to start, but it doesn't catch (i.e. it just keeps cranking). Is this because I didn't get the ignition lock with the transponder or is some anti-theft feature kicking in? It's a 2000 Camry XLE, so I surmise it's got some transponder or anti-theft feature preventing the car from starting. Thanks.
Michael, I am not an auto tech, but I too have a transponder for the front door lock/unlock, on my 2000 Camry and I did not experience this problem. Typically anti-theft devices are devices connected into the wiring that will prevent the engine from getting any power, which means your starter would not even be engaging. If your engine is cranking, but not starting I tend to believe it is a mechanical issue. On a vehicle 20 years old I would first check to make sure fuel is making it up to the engine....if not, it would be reasonable the fuel pump died on you.
@@craig84074 I appreciate the info. The car was driving fine all week, and right up to the moment I changed the ignition cylinder (I had to start the car with my original key, and drive it up to my garage to start the replacement process), so because the timing is so particular, I think it may be due to the ignition cylinder. Also, this ignition cylinder I ordered is a bit different from the original (even though it states it is for my year); there is a extra metal protrusion around the key hole that prevents the wiring and harness that went around the original to fit back in, so I had to leave that dangling inside the plastic covering. That's something I have to look into, and may be the cause. Thanks for the info btw; everything went so smoothly thanks to your video up until this point.
@@msh104utube I'm sorry you are having an issue, I'm hoping someone else can chime in to help you out because I am at a loss
@@craig84074 No worries! I replaced the new one with the old ignition cylinder, and put on the harness exactly as it was before, and the car started with out issue. I'm pretty sure now that harness has a transponder chip that communicates with the transponder in the key. This is why when a new cylinder is installed that does not have a the transponder set to the new key, the car will just crank and crank, but not start. I'll trying to fix this issue, so I can sell this car, for a 2018 Prius Prime so that's my motivation for doing this. Thanks, Craig!
What if you don’t have to keys to the car an don’t want to spend $350 to get it flashes just to get another key made ?
Since you bought a new set what about the door keys? You have to carry 2 sets of keys now?
I only have an electronic key fob to open the doors
Do you guys know do I have to disconnect my battery cable
umm.. ok my key doesn't turn at all so how am i supposed to get to accessories?
now is there a way to know if the problem is the tumbler or the elcetronic switch? my key barely moves and wont go into accesory
I am not sure.....I am not a technician so cannot trouble shoot any other problems associated with this
I just ripped all the tumblers out of the key cylinder....allgood. You can start it with a screwdriver but it'll switch off because needs transponder key to start.
My key wont even turn to Acc??
Ive tried putting WD40 in still no luck plz help
I'm having the same issue.. key won't turn at all.. did you ever get it figured out?
Quick question for you... was your original key a key that had the "chip" in it? Otherwise known as the Transponder key or the security key.... Im wondering
Christopher, no it was not an original key.....it was a copy that I had been using for quite some time....no chip
Do you know if your car was equipped with anti theft system and at one point had a transponder key? The reason I ask is because our Camry did originally have a transponder key and now we have a copy that no longer turns the ignition when it did work for years. I am just wondering if getting a new ignition lock cylinder will fix the problem. Or would I have to buy an ignition lock cylinder and then get a transponder key programmed...
Chris, Im in the exact same boat. both my chipped keys have started acting like door keys and they wont start my car, and now this tubmler lock thing is happening to me and im wondering if this will fix it... did you have any success?
Sadly, I am in the same situation with having a transponder. Have you guys found out if we could just replace the ignition cylinder or will we have to reprogram the system to a chip in the key? Please help, any help will be appreciated
thanks for help me with my car,s key problem
Carlos...hopefully I was able to save you some money, as opposed to taking it to the dealer for an expensive repair!!
excellent
What if the key won’t turn to ACC at all? It won’t budge for me whatsoever
Is it the same for an 01 camry?
I would expect it to be the same
Ok thank you
Great video, however my car now thinks that the key is still inside the new switch. When I go to lock the car using the power door locks it automatically unlocks. If I go outside and use the original key in the door the car will lock like it should. Am I missing something on why this is happening?
uhh...frustrating. I'm not a technician so I can't really comment on anything other than what I did. Hopefully someone else that has come across this can help you out....sorry bud.
Does Key Ignition/Cylinder Switch come with new keys? And a HOW TO reprogram keys?
the key switch does come w one key, but the year of my Camry had no original programmable keys, so someone else will have e to help you from here
I followed these instruction any idea why that lock release button still wont go in enough?
I guess you are talking about the release push button that I pushed with my screwdriver? I am not sure why yours is not releasing, but try jiggling the key while pushing on it. Maybe if there is an actual tech that see's this post they can shed more light on this for you.
you could also try moving the steering wheel a bit at the same time you are pushing the button in.
Late reply, but i sanded down the pin with sander drill bits seemed to be my only option at the time, but it worked perfectly
Do you need to get a whole new key?
A new key comes with the cylinder
@@craig84074 Makes sense lol 😂 thank you!
So I have a problem with my push to start in my 2011 Camry it’s a SE and I think it may be a problem with the headers I’m guessing that’s not recognizing my key and sometimes takes me many minutes to maybe start it by pushing and holding the push start button down with the fob against it for about 30 seconds and it will make a small beep sound then I’m now to
Push the button and the car starts eventually I’ve taken it to the dealership and they told me that I have to replace the push start ignition switch and they gave me the push to start button and I didn’t want to let Toyota dealership install a single a button and small time and get charged a lot for it :( can anybody give me a recommendation of what to do or if maybe a mechanic may be to install it for a better price? Please thank you
Worked just like you said......Easy Peezy....
My ignition cylinder was completely seized on lock so I had to drill the pin out to remove it. Now I can't figure out how to get the new one to go in. Any tips for me? Thanks in advance.
Roddy, I am not a vehicle technician and do not have any experience other than what is shown on my video. Hopefully someone with a more complete skill set can help you move forward. Sorry I cannot help you sir
@@craig84074 I figured it out. My wheel was still locked when I removed my cylinder, I took some needle nose pliers to move the armature inside the ignition port and wiggled the wheel, this allowing me to move it into the ACC position.
Thanks for your response anyway man!
To anyone in the future who might be going through these comments looking for answers like I was two days ago, dont be afraid to put pressure on the inside mechanism that the cylinder connects to!
@@RoddyMyagi That is great to hear. Good day to you sir
Why disconnect the battery?
Is this with chip or whithout
my 2000 Camry dies not have chip
Hmm....someone else may have a better answer than me, but you may have to call a locksmith to make a duplicate key for you
THAT CHARGERS KEY LOOP IS TO HEAVY. WEIGHT LIKE THIS WILL WEAR THE LOCK CYLINDER OUT PREMATURELY GREAT VIDEO
Anyway to remove key from old ignition?
Try "jiggling" the steering wheel while you are pulling on the key. Sometimes the wheel lock will prevent you from pulling the key out. Aside from that suggestion, if you can turn the key to "accessory", you should be able to pull the entire key assembly out and then just replace it with a new one.
Dang, I can't believe its that easy. I used to hear that the camry was the most stolen vehicle there is, now I know why! My switch locks in the off position, found a new one on ebay for 12 bucks. When I took it out of the box and put thenkey in, it dont switch to off, lol. Mighta got what I paid for. Oh well, will get one off rock auto
what if you cant get key to accessory mode?
Try jiggling the steering wheel violently left to right while trying to move the key to accessory position.
What if the key won't go to accessory? Is there a way around it?
Sorry, I'm not a technician, and am not able to answer your question, maybe someone else can chime in.
Chaos, I am not sure, I just kept jamming mine and eventually it went. Maybe someone else can help you further.

What of the key is missing
This lock cylinder is exactly like the original. However, the item description does not tell you what else is required to install this, nor does the item come with instructions. The part comes with keys that must be used as a template so you can have keys made with the resistor in them. You must take a resistance reading of the your old key and cross-reference that value with the GM key resistance chart. That will tell you which key can be used. Then you must use the provided template keys to have keys made of that resistance value. At most locksmiths, getting two keys made will cost roughly $100. If you use the wrong key or a key without a resistor, the car will not start.
I copied and pasted this review. Is this true? Or can I use the key it came with as is? I'm confused.
@@Rmissjen9 All I did was use the key that came with the cylinder. I'm not sure what "resistance" is referring to. The key that came with the cylinder worked fine for me, just as I showed in my video. My car is a year 2000 so it is 20 years old and is not equipped with the sophisticated electronics that you see on newer cars.
This is a Toyota not GM no resistor values here buddy😊
good video BUT I found a better way to fix hard to turn key? just change your key which I did and it worked, my key was worn down on one side which cause the hard to turn the key,I saved buying a new key lock. Steve
Whoa...very interesting Steve. Thanks for the insight.
omg just read this! going to try my spare now
worked like a charm! Thank you!
I cant get the button to release the cylinder
One of my mechanic was going to charge me $150, for just the labor alone and 3hour.
What if you don't have the key
Need to remind people that they need old key for opening the door. But I changed the switch in a shorter time than it took me to make banana bread from a box! Awesome video!
Very true.....the new ignition key will be different from your old door key.
What if I have no keyy
I am pushing on that pin and it won't release.please help
scott bolton same! Plz do tell how you figured that out 2 years ago lol
@@clayschrader7871 true story day I fixed it my car got totaled while parked in the city lol
Well how did ya get the pin to unlock, or did you end up drilling?
i like it.
what if u cant get your steeringwheel to unlock
I'm not a technician Todd, but I know I also had that problem with mine from time to time. I found out that if the car was parked with the steering wheel in a certain position, I could not get it to unlock. What I did for mine, was aggressively knocking the wheel back and forth while turning the key. Sorry I cannot be of anymore help about that, but maybe someone else can chime in.
