You saved me!! My 2003 Tahoe was broken into on the side of the road when it ran out of gas and got left here in Hawaii on the Big Island. I struggled with it for sure, days and hours, but with your precise instructions I was able to get it all replaced and now programming it to relearn the key. Thank you!
Same Thing ( Destroyed ) on My 2000 Yukon XL...in Los Angeles...They Did Not Get My SUV.!! ( From 10 /2023 ) Burglary... Bill in L.A. Helpful Video. ✓✓✓✓
They’ve tried to steal my 2500 Silverado about 6 times in the last 2 years. I’m going to try to fix it myself this time, hopefully add a kill switch as well but that might be a little above my head. Thanks for the tutorial, hard to find the exact step by step vid for this exactly
Awesome / A Mich Needed Video.....Thank You , Bill in Los Angeles..... Thieves Tried to Steal My 2000 Yukon XL ...But they Did Not Get it ..!! But the Ignition Housing and Key Cylinder Area was Badly Destroyed...just Like the One in Your Video. I've Been too Lazy, and Depressed about the Whole Situation...to Tackle This...Although.... I have the New Housing Switch Box & the New Cylinder ,With Two New Keys... I've Been Hesitant to Tackle It...!! The Security ( Passlock ) prevents the SUV from Starting Right Up...Mine will Need " Re- Learned " ALSO..THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE VIDEO...!! 4/12/24.
Helpful tip: on the white plug on the top of it that he says twist and pull out, there is a little tab on the top you need to push in with a screwdriver so you can twist it 02 silverado
I just need to know where you got that housing that came with the chevy key. My truck just got broken into and the same thing happened but i already had replacment keys it seems. Where would i get the housing and key that you got
ok, my question is, when should the housing be changed, I'm having a problem with an 07 Chevy 2500hd sometimes it starts and sometimes it doesn't, and the ac stopped working and he told me in an auto parts store that it was my cylinder and that maybe he could fix it I must change everything and housing what is the reason why everything must be changed
Towards the end when you said "take off this white clip, make sure its in the off position"... what is that cable for? I may have f*cked that cable up ... thanks for the help
What is the little white clip you have to twist and pull out? The one you talked about right before you went to putting it back together. I broke mine today and I'm trying to find out what it goes to so I can replace it if possible. Please and thank you!
Thanks for the help, I never would have gotten it apart without your video. I have a question though, I broke the switch, the last one you showed, that had to be twisted and pulled out, and I don't know what it is so I don't know how to replace it - or if I even have to. It looks like it activates when the key is in the start position. Can you tell me what it is called, what it does?
Glad the video was useful! I believe that connector you’re talking about is just for the chime when your key is in the ignition. If it’s chiming when you open the door you can take the spring out inside the plastic connector, I don’t run it on mine as I don’t like the chime sound.
Something frustrating happened today. I was at Auto Zone and got the exact kit you used. I told the attendant that I needed the metal U plate that is shaped more inwardly to hit the metal only. I explained that the U bolt in the kit would break the plastic. He swore it wouldn’t. It did. Now I am trying to figure out what to do. I don’t know if they even sell the plastic that is on the outside of the metal as shown in your video.
what is a kill switch and what does it do to a vehicle when it is activated? I recently had a problem with my 2003 Silverado. The key stopped turning the ignition. All methods to extract the cylinder failed, so i drilled it out without damaging the cylinder housing. Now, i have a new ignition installed, but it is locked in place like the old one was. Only difference now is that the shifter on the column goes up and down through all the gears. It is no longer locked in park. Why is this happening??
The kill switch cancels the delivery of fuel to the motor so whenever someone who tries to steal it or start it they won’t be able to get fuel and it wouldn’t start
I had my 2000 Silverado stolen and the damage was a bit more than yours but I can’t get it it start, haven’t replaced the ignition housing yet. Did you have a problem starting your before you replaced the ignition housing?
In my situation it started even after the damage, but not sure if all silverados have pass lock sensors which if damage will prevent from starting and it’s located on the housing itself.
the whole steering wheel moves up and down after doing this. it also honks everytime i do a turn. What did i do wrong or is there something i mightve broken?
Where you stay at Carlitos I need your help My Tahoe got stolen and I replace ignition switch it works turns on and everything 😢but my battery was draining I notice my ignition switch was not going back it’s position acc Hopefully you can help me
hey whats up oscar hopefully you got this issue fixed but in case you didnt take the black connector off located on the bottom of the cyl lock housing it will have a white gear, adjust that gear until you have it in the correct position that gear controls the position of the switch hopefully this fixes your issue.
How long did it take someone first time doing this for I can have a realistic time I should be getting it done because I’m sure i won’t do it as fast as the video 😂
HELP I changed out the lock cylinder after they tried to take the truck, the issue I’m having is, the key won’t turn at all, I pulled the interlock cable that connects from the ignition to the shifter, and the key turns fine, and turns the truck on, but will only go into park and reverse. I put it back in, and the key won’t move turn at all, I tried the 10 min. Thing in the video with the cable out, and no luck.
@@Fiveten_dxn1el there is a pin, that goes in and out, when you shift. In my case, it was bent, from someone trying to steal it. It’s on top of the column. You have to take the plastic around the column, so you can see it, wiggle the shifter, and you’ll see a silver pin, about 2.5 in long and .25 in width. It has a cable running to the shifter, I believe? You can’t miss it. I discounted the cable, and took out the pin piece. just be careful, and patient. once the cable and pin is out, I just straighten it back out, reinstall, and good to go! I hope this helps!
Same issue but you cut one part out I needed... I got the housing off... Now I cant figure out how to turn it lock to get it out of the housing to install new ignition
to remove the yellow plastic that comes on the cyl lock housing there is a small hole located on top of the housing get a small pick to release it once released the new ignitions just slides in hope this helps
Because if the key won’t turn then you don’t have power to the ECU which communicates with the ECM and the fuel pump it will turn over and act like it wants to run but it dies to lack of communication
I’m pretty sure fuel injection systems have to have communication to tell them when to fire properly I had a Duramax diesel that’s how mine works I tried to jump it off but with the key in the opposition it would not stay running
Cylinder Lock Housing Link👇

So is that a new key and cylinder also

Bro , thanks for being quick with it. These other videos are 3x longer and much harder to understand/follow
Keep in mind all this is for the lock cylinder housing. Not just the lock cylinder.
What’s the difference? Just had someone tried to steal mine the same way what do I need ?
Same situation currently, what did you end up needing?
Can the lock cylinder housing go bad
They’ve tried to steal my 2500 Silverado about 6 times in the last 2 years. I’m going to try to fix it myself this time, hopefully add a kill switch as well but that might be a little above my head. Thanks for the tutorial, hard to find the exact step by step vid for this exactly
Great video bro. Sad that it has over 4000 views in 1 month. People love jacking these silverados apparantly
Mines just got broke into and this video helps alot
Mine got broken into in broad day light at the mall in Houston, thief’s are just awful people
Mine got stolen yesterday and just got found like 20 minutes ago. Just ignition damage from what I’ve heard. So I’m doing my research now

Thanks for the super helpful video
Very straight forward good video man !!
Excellent video, help me a lot, thanks buddy 👍👌
Many Thanks!!!!! Worked 👍 Great.
Thank you for this video sir!!

02 silverado
Hey brother. Do you know what that plug is for?
Nice vid thanks. Theifs mess up my ignition lock housing when they tried to steal my truck.
Thank you man!!!
I just need to know where you got that housing that came with the chevy key. My truck just got broken into and the same thing happened but i already had replacment keys it seems. Where would i get the housing and key that you got
Nice video 👍🏻
great vid ty going to try replace mine
Is the cable with the white clip important? Mine is broke not sure if that’s why my truck won’t run
How do you know if you need the housing? Or can I just replace the ignition switch?
Do I have to program my key even if I don’t have a key fob
ok, my question is, when should the housing be changed, I'm having a problem with an 07 Chevy 2500hd sometimes it starts and sometimes it doesn't, and the ac stopped working and he told me in an auto parts store that it was my cylinder and that maybe he could fix it I must change everything and housing what is the reason why everything must be changed
how do you get the yellow ignition part out ?
The one clip on the back bottom of the ignition housing won’t slide out on mine .. Any idea?
Play around with the ignition position inside the housing
Towards the end when you said "take off this white clip, make sure its in the off position"... what is that cable for? I may have f*cked that cable up ... thanks for the help
Did you ever find a solution. Just jacked mine up because of the cylinder damage
What is the little white clip you have to twist and pull out? The one you talked about right before you went to putting it back together. I broke mine today and I'm trying to find out what it goes to so I can replace it if possible. Please and thank you!
What was the solution? Just broke my cable and it won't come out regardless
Bro did they mess up you’re steering column shift mechanism?
Thanks for the help, I never would have gotten it apart without your video. I have a question though, I broke the switch, the last one you showed, that had to be twisted and pulled out, and I don't know what it is so I don't know how to replace it - or if I even have to.

Someone already bent the kit that he has
Junk yard piece
Go to the junkyard
You should’ve bent it pore guy!!
Can u do this on a 2000 Chevy Silverado?

Gotta go get me one of those master steering wheel things
I did everything step by step but the truck won't start it sounds like it wants to but just won't
btw thanks alot for the video
So my key starts my truck and runs and the security light is still on, is it the housing?
Where you stay at Carlitos I need your help
My Tahoe got stolen and I replace ignition switch it works turns on and everything
😢but my battery was draining I notice my ignition switch was not going back it’s position acc
Hopefully you can help me
hey whats up oscar hopefully you got this issue fixed but in case you didnt take the black connector off located on the bottom of the cyl lock housing it will have a white gear, adjust that gear until you have it in the correct position that gear controls the position of the switch hopefully this fixes your issue.
👍👍👍👍
Is this the same for 1999 to 03?
After every ten minutes the anti lock light stays on. When will it shut off? What am I doing wrong?
How long did it take someone first time doing this for I can have a realistic time I should be getting it done because I’m sure i won’t do it as fast as the video 😂
Can I do this with a 02? Someone tried to steal mine a few nights ago and screwed up my ignition so I need to replace it
Sorry to hear that, yes it can be done with a 02.
Can anybody tell me what the clip behind the pass lock sensor is the one that you have to twist and then pull up on?
It works as a key chime when your key is left in the ignition. When the key is in and you open the drivers door it will chime.
Just happened to my 06 silverado thiefs tried to hotwire it and messed up my key area!
Same

Did you fix it and how I’m having the same problems

mine doesnt have a kill switch but barelly starts
Also I bought the same exact kit but had to bend that big U looking flat piece to get it to press onto my gmt-800
How did you bend it? I was thinking of doing the same thing. I purchased the harbor freight puller. Almost think this fork is too wide?
@@tallc23 I put it on the floor and stepped on the open part
Same issue but you cut one part out I needed...
I got the housing off... Now I cant figure out how to turn it lock to get it out of the housing to install new ignition
to remove the yellow plastic that comes on the cyl lock housing there is a small hole located on top of the housing get a small pick to release it once released the new ignitions just slides in hope this helps
Ya but how did you get the drilled out housing off without being able to turn the key?
Can you use your original key with a new cylinder? If so how can you set?
What’s the need of removing the steering wheel
If you moving a airbag you should unplug battery 🔋
That was step one, watch the video again.
haha someone bent the u
just for this
I don't understand why they didn't just hot wire it haha. Much faster
It had a kill switch, so basically it wouldn’t get fuel to the engine regardless
Because if the key won’t turn then you don’t have power to the ECU which communicates with the ECM and the fuel pump it will turn over and act like it wants to run but it dies to lack of communication
I’m pretty sure fuel injection systems have to have communication to tell them when to fire properly I had a Duramax diesel that’s how mine works I tried to jump it off but with the key in the opposition it would not stay running
The important part was omitted!!!
You have just omitted it too
