I ordered the ignition switch relay on EBay and managed to Install it myself today thanks to this video. Now it's all fixed and the car starts perfectly fine. Thanks again : )
You’re a big help! It’s been the problem of my CRV and finally found your instructional video here in TH-cam, man I think it solved the problem. Thank you!
Oh my god thank you!!!! I am a chick and just fixed my Melba (her name cuz ya know, looks like a toaster!) 2005 with 135k ... she has been chirping on starts for a while and I got stuck with my kiddo the other day. DEAD... no start. Followed this video and BAM!!! She started and was quiet about it and I am thrilled!
@@MrRangerZr1 New battery, checked fuses, keys are good, replaced that ignition switch but still won't start.

@@johnpedersoli7605 If you hear just a click from the engine bay, then it's the starter.

Thanks for the video! My 2008 Honda Civic has been having intermittent starting problems - thinking it may be this! I saw a comment where this could also cause the fan blower to also not work? Occasionally my fan blower stops working but also resolves on its own.

Hi thank you for the vid! I was wondering would this switch work for my 06 civic automatic 4DR and is it necessary for me to unplug the battery like in the vid u did it can I do it without it?
Thanks for the video! I'm a new subscriber now :) any idea where the 08 cr-v starter relay and ignition relay's are? I can't find any diagrams online... I'm trying to diagnose a no-start and wanted to check first them before pulling the starter out, thanks for your help!
If you have trouble putting in the key like it's binding up then it's the cylinder. If key goes in smooth but car doesn't start until you jimmy the key around in the crank position then it's the switch
Thank you for the video it was very helpful. You left out one little bit there is a button you have to push on the side to release the plug where all the wires go in
Nice video. What is the symptom of this going bad? My Pilot just stopped running out of the blue the other day while in a line. Can this part be the cause of intermittent random stalling of the engine?
are the steps similar for a 2014 honda accord? If i needed to test the pins, should I leave the battery ground unattached? Thank you in advance, great video!
Just bought a 08 Pilot. Occasionally, nothing happens when I turn the key. Eventually, if I keep turning the key, it starts. Other times it starts on the first turn. It has a new battery. I am thinking a bad ignition switch or a starter solenoid going bad. What would be your guess?
Would this be a fix for a car that makes a buzzing sound when the key turns? It’s not that the car won’t crank, but it takes me pulling out the key and putting it back in. It randomly happens. Not every time.
I have a 2003 element and my key wont turn in the ignition. I used to be able to take it out and put it in a few times then it would turn, but now it won't turn once in the ignition. Will this fix the problem? I was thinking of replacing the whole assembly but hopefully its just this one part.
Do i need to remove my steering wheel to replace my ignition starter switch? I have a buzzing noise every time i start my crv 2013 and something its take 5 to 10 times before my engine starts
I'm having a similar issue with my 2016 CR-V. The green light on the dash goes on when the interior of the car is hot (summer). The car won't start. Then, once it cools off, the car will start. I have heard some buzzing sound, occasionally when starting the car. Do you think it is the ignition switch?
My 2007 odyssey is having intermittent trouble starting. Sometimes when i turn the key, then engine cranks just fine, but wont fire up. Other times it starts up just fine like normal. What would cause such an intermittent issue?
Hi Ranger, I have been having a buzzing noise once in a while when turning the switch on. Van has been starting without any issues so far, only the buzzing noise for a few seconds then the engine start. Sometimes it won't do any noise. I was planning to change just to fix the buzzing noise. What do you think? I have a read a few people having issues after changing it. Thanks in advance.
2007 civic si starts and dies off immediately when turning keys between acc and on position gauge cluster somtimes glitch once in a while, and accesories wont turn on. do u think its somewhat related to ignition switch issue? tnx for ur response
I saw another video that said you had to reprogram the key after replacing this switch. Is that correct, or is that only if you replace the whole ignition cylinder?
Thank you so much. My odyssey dies while driving and all power is lost (engine stalls and electrics die) starts again fine but getting worse now and each time I restart it, it stalls. Would this be the same issue? Thanks!
I have a 2004 accord, my key wouldn't get in totally, it was like something it was stucked and woudnt turn either, while struggling with the key I accidentally locked the steering wheel, does this complicate the process of replacing only the ignition switch??
My civic 2001 turns off while driving long for 50Km, and it wont getting starts, and it starts when the jumper connected from another vehical!!, changed new battery but same thing happened again, plz help me.
Is it a Accord? Which year? My one is Accord 2005 and I saw some video saying about a screw inside the plastic cover. Therefore I might need to remove the plastic cover below the steering wheel to get access. Since your one look simpler so which car is it?
Negetive. You are working around ABS component/wires, you need to disconnect power. In general, you're suppose to disconnect the battery when working around wires.
It was the negative (ground ) connection. Removing it from the battery produces an incomplete or open circuit. Electricity cannot flow in an open circuit. Thus this allows one to safely perform work on the ignition switch without risk of electric shock to you or risk of electrical damage to to the car's electrical system.
can ignition switch problem cause the blower to not work?I ask because in my brothers 2002 dodge his ignition switch still worked but the power for blower also went thru ignition switch which caused the blower to not work ,something inside the ignition switch caused the problem and once it was changed the blower worked again. thanks for your vid i'll wait for an answer if anyone has one

Straight to the point,no silly talk,no foolish music and very clear video. You can’t ask any better than that. Keep up the great work.
With the 'silly music' reference, I presume you are referring to that other dude with the star wars theme in the background 😁
Why can't everyone just make a video like this? They always give meaningless details and complicate things. This video was great, thank you!

Looks really easy, thank you.
Perfect! Thanks so much!

Great video champ,
What symptoms did it give for you to know that it's a ignition switch problem?
The engine wouldn't start, you have to try multiple times with the key and then it would start.
Thanks for the video! My 2008 Honda Civic has been having intermittent starting problems - thinking it may be this! I saw a comment where this could also cause the fan blower to also not work? Occasionally my fan blower stops working but also resolves on its own.
No that's an issue on its own. Check the fan blower resistor and the blower itself.
There’s nothing I hate more than someone talking about nonsense over some cheesy dad rock while YouTubing how to fix my car. THIS is how it’s done. Thank you sir.
What happens if you don’t disconnect the battery before replacing the ignition switch?
Very quick job and these dealers charge a lot for something like this.
Hi thank you for the vid! I was wondering would this switch work for my 06 civic automatic 4DR and is it necessary for me to unplug the battery like in the vid u did it can I do it without it?
You must unplug the battery
When you change the ignition switch, should you key keep working or youll need to buy a key that fits the replacement part?
If you just change this swithc no the whole assembly yes

Should be in the fuse box under the hood
How can you tell if it's the ignition switch or the actual key assembly with the tumblers in it?
If you have trouble putting in the key like it's binding up then it's the cylinder. If key goes in smooth but car doesn't start until you jimmy the key around in the crank position then it's the switch
Thank you for the video it was very helpful. You left out one little bit there is a button you have to push on the side to release the plug where all the wires go in
