- How to replace lock cylinder ignition Step by Step | Bypassing GM Vats System
I show you how to replace a stuck lock cylinder ignition on a 96 Pontiac Trans Am this method will work for many vehicles especially Firebirds, Camaros Gm cars. If your lock cylinder ignition is locked, stuck or your key ignition won't turn this method should work for you. Then I show you how you can bypass Gm vats system with resistors. My car has already been done so, I show you how you can do the gm vats bypass. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
6 years later and this video still helping people. Thank you.
Just did this to the neighbors car. Now it's mine! You have my thanks
😂
Solid vid man. Loved your energy. Thanks a lot
I love the car. Thankyou for your help. Please keep them coming. Im having trouble with my turn signal. It doesnt come on at all
Not a bad video for the mechanical. Little loose on electrical but a great try. Many people have problems explaining electronics. A side demo would have been nice.
If possible, try cleaning your ignition keys before replacing your ignition lock cylinder. I got lucky and just had to clean and lube my ignition key. I still have both ignition keys from the factory. One key had zero issues and another key would get stuck in the ignition and I couldn't turn off the engine. Luckily, after gently wiggling the ignition/key enough, I was able to turn off the car and remove the problem key. First, I cleaned both of my ignition keys with 99% pure isopropyl and a cloth. I was careful to clean both the teeth and the small grooves. I saw some visible debris transfer to the cloth from the teeth but especially from the grooves. After cleaning the keys, I sprayed some WD-40 Specialist Dirt & Dust Resistant Dry Lube PTFE Spray on a cloth and then "cleaned" the keys again with this. I did NOT spray anything into my ignition lock cylinder. Also, I've read NOT to use normal WD-40 because it can attract dust and grime over time, making the problem worse. Anyway, after cleaning the keys and then wiping them with the WD-40 PTFE Dry Lube, both keys glide in and out of the ignition and I have no problems with my ignition switch. I special-ordered my 1995 Z28 twenty five years ago - 172K miles with original keys and original ignition switch - so there is a chance that you don't have to replace your ignition lock cylinder if I didn't. Maybe I just got lucky but try cleaning those keys first.
Lol you fix things like me although I'm not usually that successful when it comes to electronics. Hey I'm glad your car works again and keep up the great work!!
Nick Basel lol I usually screw something up but this wasn't too bad lol. Thanks man!
I am swapping my 94 vette ignition switch right now and out of all the videos and Info you have the best hands down my friend. I didnt have a key at all when I bought the car so I had to find the resistance in the harness to the vats idk if it's going to work but I got my fingers crossed. I havnt seen or heard anyone say you can get the resistance this way without the key so . Appreciate the video brotha!
How it work bro
Thank you so much this was a great video are all data system does not go back that far it's a bootleg version lol so this video helped me tremendously thank you for taking the time and posting this
Alternate solution to dealing with resistors in the keys: delete the whole VATS system.
This is done by A. programming VATS out of the PCM (any tuner can do this) and B. taking the yellow and black wire from the TDR and running it straight to ground.
The spreading pliers work wonders along with a flathead fastest time yet I’ve done mines a handful of times in the caddy
thanks, my car is currently stuck in the taco bell parking lot with this issue, time to head out
This is beautiful. Thanks for doing the video. Helped me wrap my head around this before doing something similar.
I really wish you would’ve done a reversed video putting it all back together!
I have a 1993 Chevy caprice 5.0 v8
Slightly different.
This video showed me how to remove the lock cylinder, witch is held by that pin screw T 15 need
Great video Sir
Thank you so much :)
Hello, I have a Quick question!
Did the old cylinder with the stuck key prevent you from cranking the car even with the VATs bypassed?
will this also help if im trying to change out a lock cylinder to a 92 buick roadmaster?
Take a shot every time he says my orange wire was cut.
They put in resisters you see.
This key has a chip
Lololol
another great video brother
Preston Frady Thanks man!
ThrockSpeed ur welcome
What are the two tools you used to remove the steering wheel and to get the ring out
Hi, thanks for the video! Where did you get the special tool to push the assembly down and remove the C-clip?
I realize I am pretty randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to watch new series online?
@Kody Samson i use Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
How did you fish the orange wire through the column?
So only use the harness if you're gonna keep using the resistor key?
those two little white wires on the ignition are they necessary for the car to start?
What if my key worn turn to on position.how do I make it happen to remove the cylinder ?
Tell me why I thought I was watching music videos still lol with that inro
Lol you fix things the same way I do ,just tear thing apart and put it back together
How much is it to duplicate the old key to the new ones?
Trying this for a 1989 firebird, does not have anti theft, so maybe it’s easier?
I followed the instructions on your video but I'm getting no power when I turn the key.
OK so I have a crank no START issue and think it the vats system when I turn key on security light come on and then goes off then when I crank it over light comes back on what are your thoughts thank u any help would be appreciated
Did u figure it out? I'm in the same boat.
@@TyRC12 i had a similar problem, putting in a resistor fixed it
i lost my keys a while back I bought a new lock cylinder that came with the keys and a vats bypass module offline. the new keys should start the car ?
Benji B I have to do the same thing. Did you get it to work?
I’m thinking of getting a new key for my firebird. How much would it cost to get a new vats key?
I had a new key made with the VAT pellet in it (VAT #3) and as I recall it was around $30.
@@1999Shortstuff where did you have your key made?
@@2doodsdogamesdude403
OPTION #1: I had a duplicate ignition key made at a Buick dealership. I can't remember the dealership's name, however, it was on RT38 in Westmont, IL. Getting a VAT key made/cut requires you to provide them a copy of your car title and a copy of your birth certificate as I recall (this was 10 years ago). I did not like what he wanted and put up a stink, but he told me it was required by law that way it would prevent anyone from aquiring a duplicate key for someone else's car.
OPTION #2: Replace your ignition cylinder. I later had problems with my ignition switch and replaced it. I bought a replacement switch for $30 and installed it myself in about 45 minutes, start to finish. You can also find new ignition switches on ebay for $15-$20. I went to O'Rileys because I did not want to wait 2to3 days for delivery. BTW, you get 2 new keys with your new switch.
Is this the same for third gens because I just loss my keys to my camaro
Basically, yes it's the same procedure. Some of the parts are a little different (3rd Gens didn't come with air bags for instance) - Great walk through though!
@@scott2455ify if I recall 90-92 have airbags and I believe they started using vats in the 88 or 89 camaros. Its been awhile..
I replaced my ignition lock aswell completely the same only issue I’m having is the vats system new lock don’t have the resister I know the value of the old key
Oddly is it normal that my car now ever time I re connect the battery the alarm starts going crazy
You can get a VATs key blank with your resistor value and get it cut to work with the new lock cylinder!
I did everything step by step and have it all installed and still no turn what else do you recommend I do
It's got to be those resistors
Lock plate is the ring little
Last mystery piece key in lock warning indicator
I do not unnerstan.....If the security wires under the dash were already cut and hacked previously, why install the new lock WITH wires attached? why not cut them off since they are useless? seems like more crap in the hole to jam or bind something up... I'm facing the same issue but need to hack the wires AND replace the tumbler which is hanging up intermittently.
How do you bypass the vats system if your key doesn’t have a chip? I can’t get the correct the resistors because I don’t know how much resistance is in my key because it’s literally just a metal key no chip
You can get a VATs bypass box with all 15 resistances so you can figure out which resistance works for your car.
@@destruxandexploze2552 Do you happen to have a link for that Vats bypass box with all 15? Have the same issue as joshua
I have questions
There is a button for when that happens
Where
This looks like one big pain in the ass...I better learn to hot wire wh n my ignition goes..lol
He didn’t get into bypassing the vats security system, he just said it was already done, never once said how to install the resistor or which direction they should go. All he did was replace the switch
carl brackett its pretty simple to understand all you do is check the resistance on the old key and then add that resistance to the plug with the purple and yellow/black striped wire but thats only if you want to use the old key that is the bypass
At least from my understanding
If you get the gm vats bypass it will only take one resistor. The part is 10$
You can get keys for 4 or 5 bucks online and take them to a locksmith for a couple of bucks more to cut each key. Otherwise, it's easy to steal your car.
Havd you ever crashed into someone with your bike
Sanjay sooknanan lol no
ThrockSpeed 🤣🤣😂
ThrockSpeed what about now lol
Man you skeep the step I need it on the part you said you didn't know what it was man!
Key reminder switch. It makes your car buzz when you open the door and your keys are in the ignition to avoid locking keys in car.
Instead of spending 40 bucks to have a key made you can make your car easier to steal. Yours was already done that way so I wont give you too much guff about it but why not spend the extra to keep it correct and stock? These are a pain and I found the hardest part was running the new tumbler wire thru the steering column. I have a 99 camaro ss so I was very particular about keeping everything stock. Sadly nearly 10 years after replacing it I have to do it again because even the aftermarket tumblers are junk.
Theres a button by the engine key you click it to unlock it. It happened to me.
Skipped the part we wanted to see smh
lame .........ok uys thats it its in duuuuhhhhh
Nothing more irritating than a video that skips over the hard parts and doesn’t give you tips on removing the c-clip. Just “OK, got that off”. Gee, thanks. SMH.
why make how to videos when you don't know what you're doing.
