Thanks so much. I was getting ready to spend a lot of money replacing my ignition cylinder but happened to watch your video went to oreillys and bought the part and that fixed it.
Thanks for your video! Helped me a lot to replace my faulty ignition switch. Things to note: - There are 3 screws to remove the bottom cover of steering column. Two are the same, the one by the steering column is of different type/length. -Screw by steering column adjuster to remove cover can be accessed by just fiddling with the column adjustment and you will be able to remove the screw. -Top cover can just be pried by a flat head screw driver. Take your time. -The switch is only held by two screws -Tight spaces can be accessed using a ratcheting mini wrench with a philips bit head when removing the left screw holding the ignition switch. -to access the bottom screw holding the ignition switch, just remove the wire harness attaching it to the v mount using a flat head. Allows you to move it out of the way. -Take your time, approx 30-45 min job. -This was on my 2007 Odyssey
I may put up the door replacement video with a huge disclaimer because I couldn't get to the tensioner before it got towed. It can be done ONCE without adjusting tensioner but...lol, I have moral qualms with putting up incomplete fixes ... then again, it worked for me twice, and your door sliding shut smoothly dropped my daily stress a ton.
New videos coming! Chewbacca (the van) met an unfortunate end on a mountain road and was insured sooo...yeah. Got repairs for...replaced passenger side door guide, minus tensioner adjustment as it was the first time getting replaced...if the tow truck sucks at getting it out of here I'll tear the panel out and do a tensioner adjust because it would be helpful. Also...un plugged and plugged back in an 06 Legacy XT to fix a TPS sensor fault because...yeah 2k rpm doesn't limp uphill. Also...yeap had a brake position sensor go on a work truck and while that is a super easy replacement ... sometimes you need to be able to back out of the driveway so you can go to parts store right?
No battery disconnect when I did my fix, I figured since the switch is dead unless igniting or running...and super convenient clip connector cluster indicated plug and run capability without the risk of hitting a hot wire. Used only the screwdriver and pliers. Disconnected, unscrewed and removed switch. Reinstalled, reconnected, checked, it worked so I put the screws back in. All in all it took me 2 hours to do, but the parts shop was 1.5 hours away and I was recording it in steps. ...making the video took longer than the fix lol.
Calvin Robinson Walthour Right on dude! That is something I positively love to hear! Next one is ... argh ... either replacing passenger side sliding door roller or replacing a lock popper. I'll know which one it is when I do it though lol
I also highly advocate joining the fan forum for whatever vehicle you wind up buying. Those guys do not necessarily make TH-cam vids but their instructions are pretty fantastic if you are a follow instructions type. I remember by talking about it as I'm doing the repair myself
Believe it or not I got a few emails over dude “I bought one of these for a grand as a parts car and now I have a running car lolz” emails. Feels pretty good.
Stuck my head around under the dash and listened around while repeatedly cranking. The odyssey club forum wasn’t super helpful then but because of the civic I had, I was comfortable tearing things apart so…problem seemed associated with lock cylinder Disclaimer: don’t do this Put in key, turn to accessory, Hotwire car (run a wire from starter lead to the frame or transmission.) if car cranks then the ignition switch or solenoid is dead, if battery is good and starter doesn’t fire it’s the starter. The other two parts of lock cylinder are mechanical not electric I believe. I’m no mechanic though so not accepting liabilities just sharing the experience
My goofy civic id smack the ignition solenoid with a screwdriver handle while cranking. Then had to resort to hot wiring while looking waiting on the part…that got some looks
hey, what kind of signs was your van showing. My van will start, but immediately shuts down, like it's being snuffed out. I mean. it's starting fine, it just doesn't hold it. the lights go out, and the green keys is the only light on after it shuts off.... security issue? not the same thing?
Hi I have a 2005 Honda oddyssey changed the starter but when turning the key to START it sounds awful as if the starter is not wanting to get is started
KangoKid Kidd if you’re hearing like a buzzing/crackling when you turn the key but the starter is not cranking it’s likely the same part I changed out. ...I erm...made this video after I changed the starter on mine as well. Odyclub.com helped me a lot but not many videos. Always find the owner club for your ride if you are a fix it yourself type! ALSO, you still have to remove the bolts under the column but you *should* be able to pull the switch and after unclipping the bottom that the lock cylinder post goes into you should be able to see definite scorching on the contacts if it’s going bad
Zach Montour the far right lower one turned out to be pointless to remove, I believe I had to use a narrow Phillips driver to get to them. Start to finish I used I believe just a #2 Phillips and pair of pliers to pinch and push out the clip and that was pretty much it...I may have used a socket to loosen the lever for the steering tilt but decided upon completion that it was ultimately unnecessary
I've got a 2006 Honda odysy while driving green light comes on and it looses power like it don't want to go but can pull over cut it off wait about10 minutes or so start back up and go for a little while again and it does it again repeat
Please someone tell me they figured out the issue after replacing it and the key not turning. I did it correct Replaced it even tried old one but the key will not turn right now Also the if I touch the plug that goes into the immobilizer the dashlight turns on. Please help I can't afford to get it fixed
Ignition Starter Switch. Be forewarned, in my experience (I saw a couple comments back the fix didn’t work for some) a bad ignition relay can create the same situation with similar sound.
Pierre Boyd the key programming? I'm confused, the key does have a radio transponder on it however it's just for communicating presence of the key to the ECU, I'm not saying it can't happen, but this was just a physical switch change, no ECU fiddling involved. It unfortunately sounds like your problem is further up the cylinder which...I would double check because they are going to say similar to you, changing cylinder means getting it rekeyed, Honda can only do it and it's like $249.99 or somewhere around the area of $500 everything said and done out the door. Do you have your valet key to check it with and make sure it is on the cylinder (the radio reader is higher up in it) and not the key?
Pierre Boyd genuinely curious (let's fix this!) it's highly irregular for a switch to cause that unless it's loaded and energized when installed...but in finding this fix, I sifted down through a ton of "so it turns out the radio in my key died" Also tested mine, the chip detectors at the key makers in hardware stores will light up if it's operable and can be used as a test
BEANSlinger well i did have the battery connected when i disconnected the switch. I watched another video. Maybe i can turn the switch manually. I will try that and see what happens. Im trying not to tow the van or take it to the dealer. I have tools and would like to attempt to do it my self before paying someone.
Pierre Boyd there is a door lock out for the power side doors on the dash to the left of wheel, mine has electrical issues in there and won't start when, the lock out is on when it rains because of it, even when the doors are closed. Cheapest fix first, the steering wheel isn't locked and it isn't that switch? Because from there I would start to look higher up the lock cylinder than where this fix is at, and at the Radio in the cylinder and the chip in the key. It losing its programming is just odd

45 min each way
It was more than 5 screws for me, but your video was perfect, thx god bless!!
omar conde dude that is fantastic! Nice work!
Problem fixed ! Thanks buddy
Awesome video. I've saved hundreds of dollars and learned alot at the same time.

Thanks you solved my problem.
I just acquired this model same year and I know what to say is the problem to the guy who sold it to me🙏🏼
Yep same here 😢
Believe it or not I got a few emails over dude “I bought one of these for a grand as a parts car and now I have a running car lolz” emails. Feels pretty good.
I'ma try this today.. Seems like the same thing is happening to my 06 odyssey 😮
If you’re willing to put your head near the bottom of the lock cylinder you may be able to diagnose by just removing the cowling and listening
How did you isolate the issue? I have no crank no start, Good battery,
Stuck my head around under the dash and listened around while repeatedly cranking. The odyssey club forum wasn’t super helpful then but because of the civic I had, I was comfortable tearing things apart so…problem seemed associated with lock cylinder
Disclaimer: don’t do this

bigmike3140 ...did you check to see if your chip key died? It’s sort of around that point in its lifecycle.
So what’s the actual part called
Ignition Starter Switch. Be forewarned, in my experience (I saw a couple comments back the fix didn’t work for some) a bad ignition relay can create the same situation with similar sound.
Sadly It didnt work for me. Same symptoms but it didnt work.
you got it fix ? what was the problem?
Torress, Neutral safety switch
@@nelytorres8519 the starter.
Thanks bro I was about to burn these van
Right on! I tell ya when I was dealing with the lead up to repairing it was infuriating.
Thats crazy.. I changed mine and it lost the programing and the key cylinder locked up.. Fml
