My Guy! I knew it was that door/cover causing a sudden sticking action. Unfortunately found out to be very careful taking out the cylinder. My springs and door went flying out it was so loose. Nearly had a heart attack, but I actually found them all. Unbelievable. Thanks for the detailed info. Spot on.
@@m.kasper7646 At the 5:51 mark you can see a black cable going into a white connector. This cable needs to come out to replace the shifter mechanism. It won't come out unless you remove the ignition lock.
This is a hard to find video.. ... Thank you so much for your detailed dedication 👏 👏👏👏👏 Others don't have the know-how to share or verbalize information. 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
@@franciscogutierrez3095 I have not reprogrammed mine. But I keep the old key on my key ring just incase my key fob quits working. Because the door locks need the old key.
@@xmas4203 if you disconnect your battery the stock radio will not function unless you go through the process of unlocking the theft deterrent feature. This requires a code. I believe the factory used a default code on all the radios. I found mine in the owner’s manual. If someone changed the code, you will need to know the new code. Reset the code was not the right choice of words. I should have said “use your code to reset the radio”.
@@hartshut That explains why I've never needed a code. I don't have the theft deterrent feature. It's an 02 and I've disconnected the battery a half billion times over the past 22 years. 😁 Thanks for the response.
If your key is broken off in the ignition, you should be able to turn the ignition with a screwdriver or the tabs on the lock. Unless the broken off part of the key is not all the way in or it doesn’t have all the teeth of the key remaining on the broken off piece. Unless the cover for the pins and springs has fallen off completely. I’m only guessing here. If the key was broken trying to turn the lock, I think there may be something preventing the lock from turning. In my case it was the piece that covers the pins and springs (I referred to it as a door or cover. See video thumbnail). That piece is oriented downward towards your knee if you’re sitting in the driver seat. In my case I had to pull the cylinder lock away from the steering column as much as possible and use a very small and thin flat screwdriver to get into the small gap and push up on the piece covering the springs and pins. It had come loose and dropped into a slot in the steering column that needs to be there for a tab on the lock cylinder. If you have a new lock, look at it and you will see what I mean. Pushing up on the cover gets it out of the slot and will allow it to rotate. Then you should be able to turn the ignition lock. Without being there I know I could be completely wrong but that is my best guess. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Well you're almost there you have to get the little brass door open and and there's little Springs guides for the cylinder to correspond to the key if you don't get your New new key lock cylinder conform to the old one it won't work for some reason I tried that before I watched your video and that's what I came across my vehicle will start but then turn right off heads up on learning how do-it-yourself or take it to a locksmith so they can make sure your tumblers matched up with your new one
I replaced mine and it would start and shut off immediately, it's a security thing, the computer doesn't recognize the new part(ignition switch). Someone told me that a locksmith has to reprogram it to recognize the new ignition switch. I don't know if this is true or not. My 2000 GMC Z71 is still sitting in my driveway 🥴😠 🗣️HELP!!!
@@PaulaLouvier-d1z on a 2002 Chevy Silverado the gear shift and steering wheel are locked while the ignition switch is off. If your key will not turn the switch to the on position it will not unlock the gear shift or the steering wheel. If that is the case, I can’t help you. Best bet is to call a lock smith or find someone who can pick locks. The ignition switch must be unlocked to change out the lock cylinder.
@@PaulaLouvier-d1z I just thought of something. If your front wheels are turned all the way to the right or to the left when you turn your truck off, there can be a lot of pressure against the steering wheel lock. If that is the case turn the steering wheel in the same direction really hard and try to start your truck.
Does the cylinder turn with the key? Is it stuck in the run position? I guess what I’m trying to say is you must have the key even if you can’t get it out and you must be able to turn the cylinder to the off position.
I put a Little greese in all my movable Locks ,,, it Insures Long term care ..Also Do not have many keys on yourKey Chain as the weight has an effect on the tumblers

Wow!! Thank you for your video. I just replaced the ignition for my son’s car. Awesome video
@@PET7672 you’re welcome. Throw a like on it.
Thank you, this helped me figure out how to remove the cable to replace my shift mechanism. Very helpful.
"CABLE"? What "cable"? There's not a cable anywhere. 🥴

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation! Helped out and everything went smoothly! Keep up the awesome work!
thanks a ton! it seemed like a daunting task, but it was actually easy.
Thanks dude for helping people out
What did you get part ?? I seen some cheap ones on eBay and Amazon, link ??
Do you need to keep an old key to be able to turn your passenger side airbag off and on or will the new key work?
I don’t know. I’ve never turned mine off.
Does that require key reprogramming??

Good video, but the gum chewing was annoying, lol
3/5 stars. ⭐️ Would be 5 stars had the gum chewing not been heard.

Spit your gum out before making videos!
Yes 😂 my exact thought
My gear shifter will not move and my key will not turn.
