    Just used your video to fix my 2005 Neon !! My car wouldn't start when i came out of the store. Only would turn on my dash lights, not engage the starter. Had the starter checked after i removed it, it was ok. Took the column apart and the same problem, bought one at Napa auto parts $41.00 installed it. Problem solved!! Thanks for the excellent video.

    You did a great job explaining and showing how to diagnose and repair this issue. This is the first video from your sight that I've seen and look forward to viewing others. Thank you

    The inner mechanism is an ignition switch actuator pin. You can get them from any parts store I purchased a new one from oriellys. it is a Dorman product. Great video... excellent how to!

    Thanks so much for taking the time to show this procedure in detail! Excellent tutorial! My problem was just the lock cylinder, but nice to know that this video is available if I ever have other complications with the ignition. Thanks again!

    Yesterday at work, I went to start my 2002 Dodge Neon SE, and it wouldn't even crank over. I was able to bump start it, so I figured the problem was somewhere in the starter system. When I got home, I started checking fuses, relays, connections, etc., and eventually made my way to the clutch starter safety switch to bypass it. When that didn't work, I hammered away on Google until I found this video. I then went to Advance Auto just before they closed and picked up a new ignition switch to install this morning. When I pulled everything apart, I found the actuator pin was broken - exactly like in your video! I am going to install the new ignition switch anyway, because I lost the ability to toggle the key to the accessory position a year or so ago, but I'm now on my way to picking up my new Dorman actuator pin at Advance Auto Parts as well. Hopefully within the next hour, I'll be back on the road and living the nEoN lIfE for another 175,000 miles! And all for about $60! Thanks much, Will Robinson from Robinson's Auto!
    Oh, and when I'm done, I *will* un-bypass my clutch starter safety switch! :)

    Thank you for posting this video, it helped a lot. My wife's car wouldn't start but the key would turn and all the accessories worked... it ended up being 1 arm of the ignition actuator. Again thank you as I have never taken apart the ignition system before.

    Car wouldn't start tonight while I was working and figured I was in deep doo doo. Ended up at this video...can't think you enough. I've the column open and it's the exact problem. Hoping the junk yard has it in the morning.

    This worked perfect! O'reillys had the Dorman 924-704 part in stock for $40, and the security bit set for $7. Because of the video it only took me 30 minutes to diagnose and replace the ignition actuator. Thanks so much.

    Good video. The part you replaced is called the IGNITION SWITCH ACTIVATOR PIN ASSEMBLY. It is a $45.00 part. If you sent the vehicle to a dealership, they would have charged you nearly $700.00 for that job. Good work.

  • @slant6guy
    @slant6guy 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hello there.
    I found an alternative to going to the junkyard and getting a never used AKA new part. It's Dorman part #924-704: Ignition,Switches Actuator. It's fully assembled as well = drop in replacement.
    The exact thing happened to me 2 days ago with the 2003 Jeep Wrangler Sport I drive and bought new in '03. Thanks for this video as well as it covers vehicles from that era that have this common problem (metal actuator looks like it's made out of pot metal, hence why they go out / break).

  • @Lesservector
    @Lesservector 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    THANKYOU for this video, I am going to try replacing the actuator pin and the electronic switch when the new parts come in tomorrow. I didn't even think about those pieces. My car will stay on like it is in accessory position no matter how I turn the key or if I take it out.

  • @ZjZ1975
    @ZjZ1975 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video. My neon suddenly stopped running while i was driving ( in a parking lot ) and does not want to start at all. No clicks from the starter and no buzz from the fuel pump. My lights work as well as the dash lights but will not turn over or even sound like it want to. I am going to change the ignition switch to see if that is the problem. I feel i can do it after watching your video. Thanks

  • @jeffsmopar1
    @jeffsmopar1 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Will Im not 100% positive but I think Dorman Products has that part available! I can remember doing lots of those in alot of Mopars during my days at the dealer and at first you're only options were what you did sourcing from a yard or buying the complete column! Dorman products are a lifesaver and there channel and website are both excellent!
    Cheers man!

I went as far as connecting a wire to the starter with botton to start until i finally got tired of doing it. Yeah i had to pop the hood remove negative post and fuse to shut it down....lol thanks bro im fixing mine and gas will be saved...

  • @JasonFuller
    @JasonFuller 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wish I saw this first! Extremely helpful video and impressive videography (fairly stable)! However, you might want to buy an aftermarket ' ignition actuator pin' since there's now a ton of other videos on this topic for the neon, hinting that the OEM Neon ignition actuator pin is just poorly made.

    You can buy that piece by itself - it's called the ignition switch actuator pin. It's the same one as the 2006 Jeep Liberty, the Napa PN is 6201414. The MFR part number is 924-704 (Dorman).

    Excellant video very easy to follow and informative. Robinsonauto I have a problem with my car starting sometimes when I turn the key to the on position the Skim light comes on and the car will start and die in a few seconds. The light occasionally comes on while I drive as well. I've sprayed the ignition switch with electrical contact cleaner and that fixes it for a while and then it comes back do you think this problem has something to do with a malfunctioning ignition switch?

  • @tommartin668
    @tommartin668 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ignition switch and actuator both failed on my 2004 Dodge Neon and this video proved most helpful in diagnosing the issue. See my thread for this problem on JustAnswer.com posted initially on 3 Feb, 2015, "2004 dodge neon sx 2.0 automatic. Quit…"
    Upon disassembly of ignition lock cylinder, ignition actuator and ignition switch assembly several problems were encountered. The “mechanic” who last disassembled this system to repair it lost two springs and two detents on the ignition actuator so it was not operating correctly. The ignition switch was the original problem, as it would not operate smoothly. When my son turned the key the actuator failed when a pot metal tab broke off that turns the ignition switch into start position because of the high turning resistance in the switch.
    I purchased a new ignition switch and actuator for $CA107.51 and reinstalled them after much fiddling. I had to tie the longer stem spring with thread to compress it before inserting the actuator stem into the ignition switch and I had to wrap scotch tape around the brass detent and spring which kept flying off the moment I tried to install it in steering column…no wonder the original went missing! The ignition actuator comes with a two page detailed set of installation instructions plus three photos (Dorman Part #: 924-704) but it fails to mention the above two crucial installation issues.

  • @robinsonsauto
    @robinsonsauto  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sounds like you may have a tumbler issue in the cylinder itself if so its cheapest just to replace, you can try and have a new key cut and see if that helps, most likely its the cylinder

    @allysoncross4370 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm in England so I've got a right hand drive Chrysler Neon 4 door ( does that count as a saloon ) and I think that it's the electrical part of the ignition. People here in Plymouth including auto locksmiths look at me as if I'm asking about an alien spaceship and you would not believe how many places I had to try myself looking for the front brake pads and discs so that the garage could fit them. No-one so far knows anything about the rear ones as they are not discs and pads ! Are they really that uncommon in this part of the country/world ? Anyway I'm going to give it a go with your video and hope for the best !

  • @TheMonkeyrock77
    @TheMonkeyrock77 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you a lot. My Neon wont turn over when i turn the Key. I was told to check the Starter to see if I get a 12 volt charge when I turn the key. If I get a charge then the Starter is out. If no 12 volt charge is shown then it's in the Ignition. The Mechanic said my Battery charger will work and a Voltage Checker. Thank you.

  • @aquataerra

    Really professional videography. Well lighted, good focus, good audio and scripting. Nice.
    I was wondering if aluminum shavings could be why the ignition switch fuse keeps blowing intermittently, usually just after the ignition is turned off. A new 20 fuse resets it, then after awhile it happens again, usually noticed after first crank next day. Is there anything in there to short out?
