Thank you! My 2003 CRV starts again. I struggled for an hour with the small screw on the back of the ignition switch until I ran to the hardware store and got a long, thin, phillips head screwdriver. Came right out.
Fairly good video. There is also one more screw under the new switch and there is the typical plastic locking/unlocking clip on the harness. Mine was purple color.
I just diagnosed my problem. It was fuel pump fuse. It's in area of driver's right knee. Car didn't have check engine light, did crank and produced relay knocking noise in the dashboard which disappeared after I run the engine.
This is excellent. I'm not sure if my starter is bad or the ignition switch. For me takes a couple turns before the car cranks and no other sounds. But once started the car continues to run I'll try to listen to the buzz you described.
@@Ceez542 Actually replacing the ignition switch seemed to resolve my problem. Well at least for about 30 days. Then the CR-V stopped starting again 30 days later. This time I'm stranded and had to have it towed to my mechanic that replaced the starter. It's now been working perfectly for a year now. I told him my story of how it worked after I replaced the switch. He didn't buy into my story. So I have no proof here except maybe it needed both replaced. Since the switch is only about $12 if say it's an option to try first. But in my case I spent about $800 getting the starter replaced and the problem was resolved. My Honda CR-V is now 21 years old with 126k miles. Still runs but now the AC is out yet again and yet another oil leak. But I only paid $4,000 for this car with 98,000 miles about 7 years ago and have spent about $4,000 in repairs over the 7 years of ownership. So I guess for a reliable still nice looking 21 year old Honda CR-V has been worth the investment. I'm retired and can't afford a new car right now anyway so I'm planning on keeping it a few more years even it now needs an AC repair at $800 and yet another oil leak of unknown cost. While these vehicles are known to last 200,000-300,000 miles I do think they become more problematic with simply age. 126k miles is nothing on a 10 year old Honda, but at 21 years age it starts to compound the possibility of it running reliably for another 100,000 miles. But can't afford to replace it. And I'm quite appreciative of the durability of such a well built 21 year old vehicle.
@@PCman50 Yeah your right about the age of the of the vehicle. My CR-V is at 130k miles and I have had the AC compressor done on it too at 115k miles. That's a common problem with these cars. For $800 I would fix the AC. I've had some places try charging me $1.2k but got it done for $875. Now I gotta get this starter fixed
@@PCman50 funny enough I got the vehicle at around 90k miles too 4 years ago for 2.8k It's definitely been worth the money but you gotta replace the the stuff that goes bad over time like struts, engine mounts, spark plugs, Alternator, etc. Still considering how much car payments are with full coverage I am sticking with it.
@@Ceez542 Yes in reality I had already paid around $1,000 to replace the compressor and labor, but now a year later the AC died and they are saying it's the condenser inside the car now so another $800 with labor. Ugh I've easily spent a $1,000 on various oil leaks over the last few years. Likely age has much to do with that.
@@TheJohnny928 It's a cheap part and an easy swap. If you have the same buzzing as in the video (you have to listen very carefully) then do this first. I'm ordering one today. My buzzing is the same and it's an intermittent no start. Great work sigor2011
Hi sigor2011, buddy did you have ON or OFF check engine light with old switch ? My engine light doesn't comes ON, crank but doesn't start all the time.
@@sigor2011 thank you very much brother, you helped with video a lot to lot of people and still responding (in 2minutes) on comments 3 years after you upload your video. You are excellent mechanic and much better person. God bless you
This video is just for the module, so not in this case. If you swap rhe whole ignition, it depends. By default, yes. I did not. You can transfer old chip key recognition parts from the old lock to the new. If you are getting aftermarket keys, they often have a door with the chip inside. Remove the chip, carefully cut out the chip from oem key and put into the new key. Cutting it out will destroy the head of the old key. Worked fine for me but I did not make a video on that.
@@sigor2011 With just minor changes I changed mine in a 2009 Honda CRV. First screw in module was a little difficult to get to with regular screw driver. Had to use an offset drive. 45 minute job no problems. Also out of curiosity took part apart and found that contacts were burnt from so much use so contact wasn't always being made. 125k miles on car with a lot of short trips. Waiting for key assy to go bad.
friends 2007 element does the buzzing thing, but also does not turn unless figgled with, jolted it ..down.. a few times and now has worked for a few days, have the new part you replaced and will put in. thanks.
Could be defective cylinder. I had to replace mine after as key got stuck. Plenty replacement online available. Just swap the key chip from old key to new as that will save the need for programming. Getting old chip is a pita, I used demel to remove the plastic around it
@@sigor2011 thank you, was going to ask you about the key programming. I actually bought the cylinder but took it back because it looked like a returned item. So starting by doing the switch first. I have replaced the starter, dual cam switch solenoid. Rear struts have been replaced and now something in the front drive seems like its about to go out. And the ride in that Element is SO noisy (over rough asphalt), cant say I'm impressed with my friends Honda Element, but she loves it. 200k on it.
@@okbye1 ya. Key programming is a bitch but aftermarket keys have a little door you can open with a chip inside, at least the one I had. As long as you have two keys oem, carefully dig the chip out and swap into new. I got a kit with all the door locks as well to match the new key and swapped them. Not too hard.
If money is not super tight, can buy sound insulation, raise fron lt carpet and remove the door panels. Add the 80mill insulation in that space and will make car a bit better to ride in. Material cost is about $100.
Great vid, when you removed the old ignition switch how can you tell it was bad , I didn't see anything wrong with it externally , is there something inside that may have been damaged. I really need to see if this is the problem on my honda, any feedback response will really help. Thank you
Nothing wrong visible external. Just would make a buzzing sound and not start. Honda also has bad Ignition tumblers. So if you can't turn key at all, need to replace whole lock cylinder. I had to do it few month after this video. Was not too expensive as I reused old keys by swapping old resistors into new keys.
Not sure what do you mean. Car is running just fine. I actually had to replace the whole Ignition key 6 month later as tumblers failed inside. Old age is getting to the car.
Thank you! My 2003 CRV starts again. I struggled for an hour with the small screw on the back of the ignition switch until I ran to the hardware store and got a long, thin, phillips head screwdriver. Came right out.
Thank you so much! Just ordered the part. I'm so excited and happy that it may be this simple to fix my problem.
Thanks man. I couldn’t comment till I created account but I did it just for you. Just want to say thank you😃
100% correct!
I just fixed my daughters car off this video. I bought an oem part for $70.
Did you have check engine light ON with old part in ignition position ? On my car doesn't come ON
Same,fixed my daughter Honda to 😎
Thank U so much for sharing this video I can replace my ignition switch w/o going to the mechanic
Thank you for this video it has solved a great problem for me!

Double check your work, put the old part on and see if the problem comes back, new part might be defective.
