- This is how I got around my lost key problem without spending any money.
Now any one can just start the truck with any key.
WARNING: This is for folks that don't mind if their vehicle is not secure. my truck is a work truck that I store in a garage.
Philip, after the hundred something videos I watched on how to do this you're the only one that actually nailed it on how to remove or turn the ignition with no key. thank you! your advice was great!
I am glad to help. Thank you.
@@happylucky29 Someone tried to rip my 1998 silverado, if I drill it there would that damage the housing as I want to put a new ignition in.
Thanks! Get back to me asap!
@@uprite88 the holes are in the ignition switch. If you change the ignition switch the damage is contained in the ignition switch.
If this works then I've got an entire new ignition systems put in there so thank you right now I just have to be able to turn the will
Thanks for this dude I have a 1998 blazer abd lost the key and i have an interview on Wednesday so hopefully i can get mine started the same way i need that job
THANK YOU! My truck is sitting with the windows down and it’s going to rain this week
Thanks so much. I'm trying to buy a truck but the owner stated that he'd lost the keys.
Thank you I've got the same one as you do mine has been parked for a whole year!!!!🤪
If you take plastic box off below it has 2 small screws holding it on and turn thing in the box will start truck and turn thing in steering column to unlock steering wheel and nothing is needed but a small screwdriver
Is it the same for 1994 ? Can we do something too make it harder
Will it shift out of park?
@@klaytone6105 yes
Thanks bro just what I needed
ah yes the old old 'hotwiring' method, drill out the security pins.
Bro what a beast thank you
Thanks bud ur awesome 👌
A little bit of light would be nice
It would’ve helped if you had actually shown the drilling process
Well, now that you can turn it to accessory, you can remove the cylinder and replace it.🙂
I know I’m kinda late to the vid but I have a 98 sierra and something is broke off in the cylinder but I wanted to know if it would still work
Explain how to from start to finish
Do you remember what drill bit type and drill was used? I’m trying the same thing to fix my truck but can’t drill very far.
So you just lucky guessed the two precise places to drill 5/32 holes to unlock that cylinder and unlock the transmission and the steering wheel at the same time ? That was some extraordinary luck. Because there are two other spots around 12 and 6 o'clock that must have been similar to those two you did drill at 9 and 2 o'clock that you didn't drill ? That kind of luck is very unusual don't you think ? I appreciate to learn about this through your up load. But I think there has got to be more to this story.
I've seen cars that theives have torn up steering columns to steal cars before to get to the rod that is what that lock cylinder actuates. And I've seen cylinders popped out traumatically so a screw driver can start it and drive away. But this is better than any thief seems to know about. A guy could put a dab of grey caulking in those two holes and use any Chevy key and not appear to be a stolen car ? Even a cop wouldn't be able to tell unless he tried a bunch of keys and realized that any key would work. That is stumbling across what many car theives have wished they knew about . Very quick and quiet and doesn't look stolen. Three cheers for you. Thanks for sharing. I pray no crooks watch this.
Just luck. I was about to give up and drilled those spots with a drill bit that I assumed was the right size.
I don't have this truck anymore, but I was driving it like this for a while.
The black plastic finger turn that covers the cylinder was held on with a black sheet rock screw.
Glad you found the video useful.
Cheers
Yeah showing exactly where you drilled would have been cool
Screwdriver trick ended 96
Will this work on an 04 Chevy Tahoe
Sure enough, that "Handy-Dandy" screwdriver makes it happen everytime.. +/- I'll advise u dont get caught... ugh, without it.
I have a 95 gm cutless.
Yours have a security key? Exact same situation. Work car. Jul 4th cant find my keys
No security key
You drilled what out? I lost my damn keys. Can't afford ignition. So what did you drill. You didn't point to what you drilled
Look closer at 1:09. You can clearly see where to drill. It's two notches in the groove around the part of the cylinder that moves.
Is it the black spots you can see or is it directly above key slot?
Gone in 10😂😂
Do you think this will work on a 99 Ford ranger?
I am not sure. Sorry
Shouldve just put your camera in the console or glove box
Was that your first truck dude
No sir.
I had 4 other 1990's GM trucks before this one. I sold this truck last year actually.
Lol the screwdriver didn't work cause you have to pop out the key cylinder mechanism and then use the screwdriver
