2003 Honda Odyssey Ignition sticking

  • After a while the wafers in the ignition cylinder start to wear out. When they do, it is difficult to start the car and worse....sometimes they key gets stuck in the ignition. To go to the dealership costs quite a bit since you would need to have new keys cut as well as reprogram the anti theft device on the car. Plus then the ignition key would not match the door key. A quick fix AFTER YOU DETACH YOUR BATTERY is to access the cylinder and remove the wafers that are no longer flush when the key is inserted into the cylinder. (cause those are what cause the cylinder not to turn in the housing) This is what I did. It took an hour and a half.....if it helps you any, GREAT! But do it at your own risk. Here is my disclaimer.......I am not a mechanic, nor do I claim or guarantee that this will work necessarily for you. If you are not sure about the whole wafer thing and are able to remove the cylinder, bring it to an automotive locksmith and see what they can do for you.

    Yesterday, when I was picking my daughter from her swimming class, the key of my 2003 Honda Pilot got stuck for a last time and never turned! I was initially very frustrated, but came back home, watched your video, took my tools, biked to where the car was and fixed it!! I removed 4 wafers and my key turns like never before! And I saved myself lots of money and trouble.
    You are awesome! :)

    Thank you so much for this!! Just successfully used this on an 03 pilot.. Fun fact to add to this, you don't have to take the whole assembly off w/ the breakaway bolts, you simply need an offset Phillips screwdriver, ($2-$4 at any hardware store) and take out the hidden back screw on the immobilizer and all the gold screws on the immobilizer, then the ignition lock slips right out!

    I wanted to thank you for this video. Though there was a lot that we couldn’t see due to the camera angles and sped up sequences hidden behind your hands, this video was still a great reference to get started on the job. I ended up watching a few videos over and over to get used to the steps I’d need to take, and I ended up just looping your video while I was doing the job. So thank you. I was able to fix the problem - removed 5 tumblers/wafers! Not sure if that is too many but there are no problems now. Before I stuck the cylinder back in I used brake parts cleaner on it and flushed out all the bad dirt and grease and then soaked it in WD40. One thing I’d like to say is that anyone doing this job should put a magnetic bowl under the cylinder and ignition - I dropped the same set pin and a few screws a bunch of times but was saved by having the bowl suck them into its magnetic field.

    2004 Odyssey. (note she was lucky with the roll pin I spent most of my time on, It just fell out for her, wow. This is my 2 cents on this problem, hope it helps!)
    Had the same problem and fixed this for $1. Need to be comfortable with working on cars and willing to learn a bit about lock mechanism. Here is a synopsis:
    Key will not turn in ignition lock, wafer(s) inside lock cylinder are worn out.
    1. Removed negative battery terminal (to prevent air bag issues)
    2. Removed the steering column plastic shroud (three screws bottom
    3. Unhooked a wiring harnesses for clearance to the clamp.
    4. sed a chisel to “bite” into two bolts holding u bolt clamp and tapped them out ccw.
    5. Removed the wires for the immobilizer (about 4 screws) and the ignition switch (two screws on back) and the key mechanism was out.
    6. Used a scribe to scratch alignment marks so you put in back correctly
    7. Removed the lock cylinder from the housing. Note there is a roll pin that you have to drill a 45 degree hold with about 1/16” drill bit and pry out with a sharp machinist scribe or awl. I could not get it out any other way (pry method did not work)
    8. The cylinder then came out and there is then a second roll pin, you can punch out easily with a 1/32 pin punch
    9. Then pull out the wafers that stick up and remove the spring for them also. You can see the real trouble makers easy, but two on mine were less obvious, I just pulled the ones that stuck up the most until it turned smooth.
    10. Instead of fitting shear head bolts when I reassembled to steering column... I got a pair of M8/1.25 x 16 cap head bolts from Home Depot, these worked perfectly. The only cost was for the new bolts.
    11. Total time for me was 2.5 hours 30 minutes to remove the assembly, 1.5 to fix the tumblers (most time spent with the first roll pin!) 30 minutes to reassemble. I am airplane mechanic and have good mechanical skills.

    Great video! One thing I found when pulling the key & wafers out of the cylinder (@ 7:30 in your video), be careful the wafers don't come flying out. They are spring loaded. I sprayed WD40 in the lock prior...so 3 of the 4 bottom wafers fell out. I had no idea which order they went back in. I decided to pull all the wafers out (except for the last u-shaped one. Everything works great!

    Thanks for the video. I was able to repair my 03 Oddy using this. I had a heck of a time getting the flush inserted roll pin out so that I could withdraw the cyclinder from the housing. Used another reviewers tip of drilling in a 1mm drill bit at 45 degrees and prying the pin upwards. Wish my roll pin fell out!
    Used a small dremmel disc to cut slots into the shear bolts - works well but be careful not to damage the nearby cabling. I removed all the wafers except for the large circular one.

    I currently have this problem with my 03 odyssey. There were many times when I would insert, or try rather , in to my ignition and would only go half way in. Then I’d jiggle the key a little bit and would successfully go all the way in and start her up.This happened a lot times. Well, I went to store a couple miles away and when I went back to my van to leave, the key fully inserted but would not turn at all ! Kept trying to turn it for literally two hours before I had to call AAA to get a tow.
    Then I came across this video, so I’m hoping I’ll have success in fixing it just as you did. Thank you for the very informative video

    My honeys 2003 odyssey had just kept getting worse every day with key not turning and getting stuck out somewhere for sometimes 35 mins try to get back home.
    We watched this after looking on ebay for very expensive parts and a $550 quote from the Honda dealer, so we said what the heck we're at a few hundred no matter what... let's try it!
    2 1/2 hours later after watching and works perfect! Removed them all, marking where they all went and found 1 bent one and another 2 with bad edges. Took those 3 out with the springs and works better than new!
    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

    Surprise, surprise, surprise. Yet another happy customer. I had three bad wafers. Pulled them out along with their springs. Maybe 2 hrs total.
    My 2003 Pilot has a little access cover on the upper shroud. Accessing and pushing allowed me to take the shifter out of park without the key. That made it easy to get the upper shroud off.
    I used a hacksaw to cut a groove in the sheer screws. Made it super easy to put back in without a trip to the hardware store.
    Thanks so much for the tutorial.

"self...how can you respect yourself as a handyman if this beautiful young lady can fix this and you cant..." lol.. thanks again. My only addition which didn't look like it happened to you is a small brass flat head pin fell out of mine. It came from the underside where the key goes in and is covered by the immobilizer and a small plunger rests on it. Mine fell out and it took me 20 min to figure out where it was supposed to go. If you dont notice it fall out its lost and dont know what would happen in the plunger area. SAVED ME A BOOTYLOAD! You're my Kirsten Dunst! I love you 3000...

      @DavidSmith-wt8oy Před 6 lety +2

      Joshua Soles no you don't. She's not replacing the cylinder look assembly. When you buy the new lock assembly it comes with new keys that obviously have to be programmed to the immobilizer. As your old keys will no longer work because they won't unlock the cylinder. Your old keys get thrown out with the old lock cylinder assembly. All she did was remove all the tumblers from the key cylinder that basically allows you use any key to the cylinder as there's nothing locking it anymore. The only thing that prevents someone from stealing her van is the fact that the chip in the head of her key is programmed to the immobilizer system in the van. Otherwise anyone could steal her van using any key in their pocket. You can even stick a screwdriver in the cylinder and turn it. Without the tumblers there's nothing keeping it from turning.

    Thanks. We are on vacation and our ignition got stuck last night when we were leaving the restaurant. Had the car towed(free AAA) back to the house we are staying at. Got up this morning and luckily found a couple of tools. Removed the switch and took out one of the tumblers. Reinstalled and bam....works like a charm. 2003 Honda pilot.

    You are God Sent! I just finished repairing my 2003 Honda Civic's ignition lock cylinder after almost getting a heart attack when a local "affordable" locksmith told me the repair will cost me $500. I then went to see my regular mechanic and he quoted me $525, time to roll up my sleeves and I bought the picks and a special type of angled screw driver, I didn't have to remove the 2 divet you did that's the only difference. Thank you again!

    ive been driving my van for 3 months and have been noticing that my ignition switch was not cooperating, it sometimes came to the point of praying when me and my wife travelled to losangeles we got stock for about 10 minuites i tought it will never starts. so i totally had it and before contacting the dealer i went to youtube and saw this post and i tought i give it a shot. im not a tech kinda guy but i did it im so proud of my self . thaks for posting this video i hate spending my hard earned money to steallership.p.s. i ended up removing all the wafers the only draw back is you could pull the key out when your car is running but that doesnt bother me.

    Thanks for the tutorial. Fixed it with hardly any swearing on my part. Those bolts are a bugger to get out. My guess is they break off at the top so they don't bend the steering column at the factory. I took the Dremel and cut channels in the bolts so I could use a flat head screwdriver to tighten them. I just made sure not to tighten them too much, but if I ever have to do this again it'll be easier to get them off. The plastic covers didn't cooperate when I put them back on, so I may have to do some taping. Oh well. She's an '02 with 245k miles on her. What's a little more tape?

    just fixed my ignition for the same car. Had to remove all the wafers as one after the other they just won't sit in anymore. SO i basically have a key that starts the car but doesn't lock it any more. the key just comes out in any position. but for an old car like this spending 700+ at the dealer is not an option. I almost installed a brand new ignition but then it wont start the car and needs reprogramming. well this video saved the day and tons on money. thanks a lot.
