Ordered the replacement part on Amazon cost $42 bucks, installed took 20 minutes, worked like a charm. Thank you brother!
Nice job!!!
Just did mine today, and found out that i had to use a foot long philips#2for the upper screw of the switch. It also worked on the side screw. No more buzzing noise at startup. Mine was in its early stages, but better be safe than sorry. thx for this video. much love bro.
Good job!!! I gotta do my honda got that buzzing speak type noise
This worked perfectly for my 07 honda crv!!
Saved me several hundred dollars from diagnosis and labor! Only costed me the part which was $50
My 2004 Honda CRV, 200k miles, intermittent starting... Sounded like the battery, but headlights did not dim when trying to start. Thought maybe the Starter, but when it did start - no problem. Watched this video on 'Starter Switch', ordered the part from eBay, installed myself - FIXED!

I searched alot of vids urs not only is the fastest and very easy to understand.
But on my 2008 pilot I order the part you have in the video but mine has a different look and fit. So I am back to searching for the part and video how to
Thanks for this great easy to understand, clearly demonstrated fix. My 2007 CRV is starting to intermittently not crank. Unfortunately I replaced my starter and that did not fix. I verified my ground cable but still issues. I hope this fixes it but your helpful video is much appreciated!!
Good job nice testing
What was the issue? I'm having the same problem with my 2007 Honda CRV
did it get fixed?
Thank you so much for this, I was so worried this was going to cost hundreds of dollars
Yes easy and quick!!
Great video. My 2010 CRV had issues with stalling and with startup. Replaced relays - not fixed. Replaced coils and plugs - not fixed. Ordered switch and will replace as per this video. Fingers crossed.
Ok let me know how things go
@@RBTheMechanic Got the part and less than 30 min followed your instructions and the car started and is running. I think this video will help a lot folks like me. I got the part from Amazon for less than $20.
@@Joes-xi1qg nice job!!
This tutorial was very helpful. I just replaced my dad's ignition switch on his 08 CRV. All in less than an hour. Thanks!
To anyone doing this definitely invest in a stubby philips. Had to diy my way out of those tight spaces.
Nice job!! Good job doing it urself!!! Job well done by urself (DIY)
Thanks for posting this. It was an easy fix with your video
No problem hood that this helped you out and worked!!!
Hey guy , I just watched your video on replacing the ignition switch on the 2008 Honda crv . Question / I have a 2008 crv , it cranks most of the time but every once in a while it does nothing when I try to crank it . The lights on the dash come on but the starter don't make any noise . So when I keep trying to crank it , it finally cranks . So could it be the ignition switch . It's not the starter , it's not the starter relay , so I'm thinking that's the only thing left . What's your opinion ?
Usully when it dose that it could be the starter or ignition switch
Can you do anything to fix/clean up connectors on the old ignition switch? its a couple weeks delivery for me from amazon and mine is getting worse. Afraid it wont start at all before I can get the part.
No better replace it not expensive part
Hey man, great vid! I got my new switch installed but unfortunately my cr-v still dont work. My key is old & worn with tape wrapped all over I cant even turn it. I dunno if I need to have it towed to get a whole new ignition installed or get a new key. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Great upload tho!
Sometimes when I start my 08 CRV it cranks right up but turns off if I let go of the key immediately and let it snap back. I found that if I keep slight forward pressure on the key while starting then it doesn't do this...almost like there's a bad connection if the key snaps back too much. And when I turn the car off, it takes just a slight turn of the key to do so. Thinking about replacing the ignition switch but wanted your opinion first.
Oh ok welcome!!
I have a little problem with Honda CRV the battery light on the oil light was not showing at the dashboard and the jar indicator was not showing in what can cause it
First check the alternator out put it should be 13v and above with engine running
If you’re taking the switch tumblers out what size drillbit do you use to make the rope and go over?
Sorry I don’t know what side drill bit you would need
My crv's head unit starts on it's own even though if it's locked. Also the locks make sound(like locking and unlocking) when it is standing locked up. I don't know if the issue is the display unit, central locking or the ignition cylinder.... please help
I’m not sure what u mean by head unit u mean radio and dash all lights up?
A good, simple video... thank you for your helpful contribution to the community... keep it up🙏
Thanks, will do!
Hey Rob. I took the switch off but now the steering is locked
How do I unlock the steering, I tried everything that's suggested on TH-cam but nothing works
@@krisrupchand1696 turn the key and u have to try turning steering and it should release the key
@@krisrupchand1696 u locked the steering put the key in and yank the steering and turn the key it should come unlock
When replacing the ignition switch it comes with its own keys. My question is do they have chips in it to start the crv or is it just a regular key that comes with it and that turns it on no problem and no programming required? Honda is wanting to charge me $600 to get 2 new keys made for my crv but if I can just replace the ignition switch and it comes with keys already I can install it myself and will be a whole lot cheaper than what Honda wants to charge me lol
Yes 2003 up it has chip but ur replacing ignition switch or key cylinder
Does replacement work with same keys?
Yup
Thanks
My Honda CRV is having an issue where when I turn the key nothing happens but if I keep trying it will eventually start like normal. After installing the new ignition switch it wouldn’t start at all. It would crank but never start. Does this sound like a faulty part? I put the old one back in for now because at least I can get it to run after a few tries.
It could defective switch. Did u scan the car for codes
@@RBTheMechanic I didn’t, I’m planning on exchanging the switch for a new one and trying again.
@@mikejackson1729 yup replace it
Tried another one same thing. Cranks doesnt start
@@mikejackson1729 if it cranks but dosent start it’s not related to starter or igntion switch. It’s could be few things u need to check to see if ur key is good some times it looses its programing Scan the car for codes. Check spark check to see if ur fuel pump work check the basics At first u said it dose nothing that could had been possibility it’s switch but if it dose crank engine turns over but dosent start then it’s somthing else
Saw your ignition switch replacement on 08 CRV. My sister is having problems with her immobilizer. Where is that located as compared to the ignition switch? Thanks
I am needing what size drill bit because I’m working on the other side and just taking in the tumblers out because they’re tore up. What size drillbit do I use to drill next to the roll pin to get it out? I don’t know where the answers in the going on here
Hi,I have a 2008 crv, where can I get an ignition switch for it
Put in original for long life dealer item other wise autozone or pepboys
Could this be also the same issue with my 2013 Civic lx , it starts up normal always , but randomly out of no where it sometimes doesn’t want to turn on , there’s no sound , no click nothing , dash icons light up ,but after three tries or so , the car starts up like nothing is wrong , but like I said it only does this randomly sometimes, not always , like maybe once a month or so
Same here
Nice job
Hello,
What is the craftsman tool that you are using in your video? I am not able to unscrew it because of an angle.
Prabin Shrestha it’s small screw driver it’s like handle u can find it in sears Autozone has it also just go there and look around in screw driver section $25 u can 3 of them
U can also use vice grip to hold the bit and turn it slowly turn by turn

@@RBTheMechanic Just got the part today. We supposedly have a nasty little front pushing through tomorrow afternoon (Florida) so I am going to knock it out first thing. Thanks again, RB I will let you know!!
Great video. My 2005 Honda CRV has no power to the dashboard and no lights. Even after the battery is fully charged. Does it means that I have to replace this ignition switch?
Thank you.
Check your fuses before replacing anything check to see if contact between the battery terminal is clean sometimes the connects has corrosion in between and no power travels
Mine 2007 crv makes a buzzing sound when turning the ignition on. Have to do it twice before the car starts is it the same problem?
That sounds like this is what it is
gracias mi estimado tu video its very fantastic. thk´s
Thank you for this video
My pleasure!!
@@RBTheMechanicupdate, I got the part in and the turn of my key sounds so much better but now the car will not start.
Second update: Returned the part and got a new one, took five minutes to install and works like a charm. Thank you.
Hey man. Did you disconnect the battery when replacing the ignition switch? I saw another mechanic do that in an instructional video but I don't really want to do that if it's not necessary. Thanks
No I didn’t it dosent have any power going forward so u don’t need to disconnect it. 👍
@@RBTheMechanic You’re the best bro. Most mechanics wouldn’t even bother being honest about it but you say it how it is. Love your videos my friend!
@@kingthy8374 thank you!!! Yeah I keep it 100% I charge diagnostic and labor but I keep it real
Thanks for the video I appreciate it!
No problem!!
I'm having a smiller problem with key but mine is the key lock not ignition switch it do I have to replace the whole part orillys is trying to sell me for 400 doller also does key need to be reprogrammed or so just change and start
Carlos Valenzuela you can call local locksmith it’s gonna be whole assembly not the electrical switch plugs it might need new key and programming since key has chip in it
How do you remove stearing wheel lock when the consumer tricks don't work
The what?
do you use the same key as the old one or new different key.
Same key
I did everything you showed, but the key is locked. It won’t move.
This suppose to be simple replacement turn ur wheel with key in ignition it might be locked
Thanks.
Welcome!!
My 2007 CRV key wore out so I'm doing the same repair. The Amazon link for the tool no longer works. 😪
No it’s just the click of the key turning. It is silent at the #3 position
What is the name of the tool for the hard screw
Sorry I don’t know the name it’s made by craftsmen Here’s a link it’s on amazon Craftsman 2 Piece, Center Punch & Reversible Ratcheting Screwdriver Wrench, Made in USA, Part #942841 www.amazon.com/dp/B0728KJCQL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_K30OFbKA534EZ
Actually it started beeping when I plugged it in, even though the key wasn’t in
Not sure why maybe wiring
Thanks now I know what to do.
No problem bro let me kno how things turned out
Hi. Great video! Had to tow my car home. I thought it was the battery but the voltage is over 13. I hear the switch but didn't think much about it. Also clicks near starter. I seen if you tap on the switch while cranking it. Got 111,000 miles on it. I noticed my radio goes off when I turn it over but the lights don't really dim. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
michael gordy if ur starter goes click then it’s bad starter u can simply pop the fuse box look for starter relay put ur finger on it have some one turn they key if u feel it clicking then ur switch is good might be starter motor
@@RBTheMechanic Thanks for reaching out to me. I'm going to be doing this, this morning. Hoping it's not going to be to difficult. Appreciate it thanks
Ugggghhh We just replaced our switch in an 09 Honda CRV and it’s doing the same thing is there a way we can tell if it’s the starter
It had stopped and then restart it on me a couple of times like I would go into the store and come out and it wouldn’t start so then I will try again and it would start up so we then it got to where it wouldn’t do anything but you could hear it click so we started we just change the switch out but now it’s still doing the same thing
Kimber Page what’s going on with the car
RB The Mechanic it’s doing the same thing it just makes a click when try to crank
Kimber Page that’s bad starter form what ur saying
Kimber Page th-cam.com/video/ID7moW9pJkw/w-d-xo.html. Check this video out I try to start it dose click if it’s like that bad starter!!
Great job. But my steering is locked
U need to put the key in and turn it yaank it
