Great video! They got my son's 2015 Kia Soul in Nov '22. They ran from police and wrecked it! I have been putting it back together a little at a time as the insurance company would not pay for the repair. I just got a new ignition lock cylinder and folding key off ebay. This DIY is just what I needed. Thanks, you are a blessing to many!
Attempted to steal my 2016 optima... just had the recall done 6weeks prior, so they weren't able to take it, but they did bust out my passenger window. Trying to see if I can fix myself w/o costly repair as I've been out of work for almost a year and start new job in a few days. I pray these expletives get what's coming to them. Karma is a mutha, and God got me! Thanks for the video.
I dunno if you already got it, but could probably go out to a junkyard and grab a window and slap it in pretty easily. The door windows are generally just two bolts once you get the door panel off.
This exact situation just happened to me on Tuesday night/ I have the immobilizer so they were unable to take the car. They busted out back window, and busted the plastic housing around the steering column, so ignition switch is dangling. Do we think the ignition switch will snap back in to place so I can still drive my car?? These bastards make me so mad/ people work so hard for what they have, and for them to think the deserve to do these things are insane!! I appreciate any feed back to help get my car running:)
Im a 51 year old woman whose Hyundai Suv was stolen twice. They also stole my catalytic converters. Your video makes me believe i can fix my own damn ignition. Another guy showed me the cheap replacements for the converters.... I wanted you to know, that we appreciate your video. It was very easy to follow.
This is the best video I've ever seen!!! I love that he is expressing exactly how I'm feeling! I bought a 2020 Kia Soul 1 week ago. It was in my driveway for 6hours and those @&#$&+$&@# busted the window & jacked it up! I truly appreciate you!!!
Brio your video is a life saver! This is the same way to replace the ignition on a 2019-2021 forte as well you should add that to your description cause i have been scowering the iternet for this video.
THEY GOT MY CO-WORKER KIA OPTIMA LAST NIGHT! 🤬 HE HEARD THEM TRYING TO STEAL HIS KIA AND RAN OUT THERE AND THEY BOOKED IT! 😡 THEY BROKE HIS STEERING COLUMN COVER AND WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH! 😩 I'M TRYING TO LEARN HOW TO FIX THEM SO I CAN FIX IT FOR HIM CAUSE HE CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY A SHOP TO REPAIR IT.😢 PS: THIS IS A DOPE VIDEO! EXPLAINED EVERYTHING PERFECTLY! 👏🏻 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK KING! 🤘🏻👑
Thanks for posting this. I was able to disconnect the ignition harness so it wouldn’t drain the battery. My vehicle was burglarized last night in an attempt to steal it. But the thief was thwarted by the clutch start of the manual transmission. It’s terrible but it’s kind of humorous and I thought you would enjoy the truth in saying “manual transmissions are now anti-theft devices.”
Man they got me this past weekend I'll be using this video to replace mine... They didn't even get that far, bout 100' and left it for that I'm grateful now I just gotta fix my window and ignition
275 to replace back passenger window...probably another 300 for ignition assembly and use this video to install, I bought a steering wheel club for now
My car got stolen a 2011 Hyundai sonata and I had just got it too now I have to get my window fixed and my column and it all added up to 1,051 damn dollars
Thanks for this video, me and my husband were able to replace the ignition on our 2020 hyundai elantra in just 30 mins as it's the same as the one in your video
Thank u they just did this to my nephew after 3 days of getting the car thank u for the information u shared so many ppl out here make it seem.like u have to order every piece brand new the way they took my nephew's ignition is a very clean cut so I don't see why he should have to purchase a new one since it's a clean cut it is a clean cut would he have to purchase a new ignition or can he use the same ignition cuz we have a man saying that he has to order all the parts from Kia and then put it all back together they did not mess up the steering column they literally just took the ignition out plugged in a USB cord and took off took off use 9 me and got the car stuck in mud and left it there there was valuables in the car they left everything in their money in the car like $120 inside of a purse they literally just wanted to go on a little joy ride so now we got one person saying he needs to order all the new pieces from Kia and another person saying it's a clean cut and they can pop everything back in so we got two different opinions
Great video my man. Currently going through this with my 2017 Forte. I can out a flathead inside the cylinder and it can manipulate the positions but when I go to turn on the vehicle. It just clicks and no start. Battery is good and has me confused. Could there be something that is broken that may not be allowing to start?
Thanks the video helped me a lot, but I have questions I change the ignition switch but the original key with control doesn’t lock the door, what can be happen
Great video man! So I have a 2017 Kia forte and was able to pry out the cylinder lock so I can at least turn the vehicle on now. When I turn the flathead to the on position. All I get is a click and nothing else. I have already put a new battery in and everything. I guess my question is, what could have the Kia Boyz damaged in the steering/ignition Column.
Great video bro. Kia called me twice to see if I want to sell my car to them. I told them no and two days later my car was broken into but not and attempt to steal the car only to tear up the ignition switch. I had money laying around in the car , new brake pads and new bottles of refrigerant laying in the back seat. Nothing was stole . I fix the broken ignition and a day later Kia called and ask me again to buy my car and I told them no thank you. Two days after fixing the car the same thing happened … broke in my car ,burst window and broke my ignition again!!!! I think they call local Kia owners to see if they still have ownership of the Kia and once they have your address they burglarized the car so that the victim will call the local Kia dealer to have their car fixed by them. It’s an conspiracy!!! Kia is doing this. Investigation is on the way. Also question…to the victims on this post … did the Kia dealership call before or after your car was broken into????? Thanks once again for posting this bro. Blessings
They just tried to take my Kia Optima 2015 two days ago. I have the updated anti-theft so right now my car has no power at all. If I have someone to install the new switch, will my car power back up?
Can you do a tutorial on how to install some sort of kill switch for Optima 19? Mine just got stolen again and I’m looking g at JDI ghost key but have no idea how to install it
appreciate the video, someone tried to steal my kia but couldnt. Question, what is that yellow wire connector on the bottom? Mine is just hanging there but my car still works and steers, but its not connected to anything.
That is the air bag connector. im glad they broke the slot and not the connector wire. So to replace it you have to replace the clocksprings it’s not bad if your good with tools
My windshield wipers signal was snatched out and it’s the black stuff directly behind the wheel .. what’s that called? Before you touched the ignition switch?
friend tell me please this new set of ignition switch together with imobelizer? do I need to program something? Or just change this one and it will work?
You can remove the 12 tumblers from the original key cylinder and transfer over to the new one so your original key works with the new ignition. No need to use the dummy keys.
@@JCUP_4321 On the old cylinder, remove the tumblers one by one and transfer over to the new cylinder. You need to make sure the sequence is exactly the same and you don't lose the springs that are underneath each tumbler. Once you do that, the old key will work on the new replacement cylinder. I used needle nose pliers to remove each tumbler.
@@createcrate1504 I saw a video on it. It's called rekeying a lock. I have did it on house locks many times. You have to take the actual lock cylinder out and swap each of the 12 tumblers from the old cylinder to the new one. A locksmith can do it if uncertain on doing it yourself
Where did you get all the parts with the keys and ignition switch my customer had an attempted theft we have Been looking for the whole assembly with everything to be an easy repair
The person that tried to steal my car failed and never left the parking lot thankfully but it still sucks to have to replace the ignition switch in my Elantra. Was told mine was the first Elantra hit in the city im in by the detective :v
All I need to do is glue mine together the problem that I’m coming across is there’s this little black piece does it go into the ignition switch? I’ve never seen something like that before. I have asked so many people and nobody knows I do believe it goes inside the ignition switch but like I said, I can’t be sure I found it on the floorboard when they try to steal my vehicle, PS they never got it because I have a Killswitch but they didn’t stop them from doing damage or I should say because it was just one person
So I went to the actual dealership to grab the parts but online it’s parts.kia.com/Kia__.html?partner=Google_Make_Kia_Parts_Exact&kwd=kia%20parts&matchtype=e&device=m&network=g&userLocation=9021733&googleCampaignID=21301818232&googleAdGroupID=166219682287&googleAdID=699656470995&googleExtensionID=&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADxCSLvVLv2G1NUOO57Tn8iVEyHNT&gclid=CjwKCAjwgdayBhBQEiwAXhMxtjZgCLf81xpBhXYt2iZ1w8lDI1QaaOy2dAO6XBK5cfJ-sFBSBTxlMhoCeyUQAvD_BwE Put your VIN number And look for the ignition switch once again I called the dealership it was super easy cause it was direct.
Okay so I got my car back after it being stolen and I seen your video and got the same ignition you have in this video it worked but now my heat/air don’t work did that happen to you does your heat/air work because the guy working on my car said it’s not working because I don’t have the smart key ignition.
I bought a 2013 Hyuandai sonata four months ago, now I'm hearing stories about how there super easy to steal, that sucks. I wake up every morning praying my car is still there.
Keshaun : thanks for posting. My optima was hit recently.. I am able to re insert the lock cylinder into the assembly as is, when I do the car turns over fine using the original key but does not fire up. Will replacing the ignition switch assembly fix this. It seems like the car should start by turning the tab manually as is . Can you explain why it will not fire up when it turns over fine. ?? Thanks again. Very grateful for this post.
They tried to steal my 2011 Kia soul a few days ago. 🙄. My ignition was picked apart but I was able to put it back together fortunately. To clarify, the piece you installed, that’s the immobilizer that will help my car not be stolen?
i think kia should make you video mandatory i just got one back from my local dealer that was stolen and wrecked for them to do the column the put the cylinder in the wrong place.
If your in the Chicago area DM me i could definitely help you out personally with the issue.

You'll have to have it programmed to the vehicle by a Kia dealer, or independent shop with the proper software.
Hey bro what site did you go on to get your ignition assembly?
Just seen you reply to my question. Thanks bro
Where at? I need one also
Where did you order your part?
Where did u order the part
U gotta change the cylinder piece or can I just change the switch
So I believe you can change the cylinder piece on its own. problem is finding the right cylinder for your car and if Kia will have it in stock.
I’m in the same boat because of ignorant “Kia boys”
I gotta change both because they were destructive fucks

Make sure they didn’t rip any wires behind the ignition if not best to check fuse and if worst case find a local mechanic to check the electrical
Also if you got the update Kia giving out that’s probably why it’s not working

Did u have to reprogram anything??
No beside the key fob

No, that’s why these are easy to steal- they have no immobilizer - like stealing an old Ford or Chevy. Turn with a screw driver
