My 99 4runner won’t crank no start sometimes. Also, the keys pulls out while it is on. I want to sell my car but want to fix this problem first. What do u think I should do?
Where would my switch be on 98 jeep.
when I start my 2012 yaris, I find that as the car's engine is starting, the starter motor is still starting, What causes this?
05 Town and country.turn key radio come but dash lights will not and will not start.what is this have a new starter and alternator.
I've got an elusive problem.
Initially I was led to think that the problem was to do with a bad ignition switch because, first, the car turns off then runs for half a second more, when power to the engine is cut off by turning the key. However, because this only happens when the car is hot, I'm thinking it is the ignition control module inside the distributor that is on its way out.
It is difficult to start, particularly when it's hot, and it has progressively been getting worse.
Would love to hear anyone's comments on this.
The car is a 91' Mitsubishi Lancer (carburettor).
What a brilliant video,
You should take that section about the ignition switch having 4 places and making it its own video, I needed that info like 5 months ago and by now, imagine 200 others have also. Thanks!
Its alright "guessing" when its someone else's money LOL, its knowing WHICH one it is that's causing the fault, needs the skill of a real mechanic, big difference.
Most useful video brother.my car have problem. I problem is ignition switch. From this video I confirmed switch is problem. Thank you
Great video. Love the diagrams. Very clear. Easy to follow. I watched this video a knew exactly what was wrong with my car.
❤️ it!
I appreciate the kind words!
Thank you so much for including the last uncommon one. I'm struggling to fix it and it wasn't the cylinder!
Thank you for this vid!👍👍
Could you tackle or add a link mentioning steering/ignition key locks up?
You can also try the spare key, it worked for me.
Thanks for the idea, I got stuck out in the woods for a few days because of this problem and finally got it home after wiggling the key and tried the spare and it works
We got a 2003 explorer that randomly dies and randomly no start and has no codes but always will crank. If it is running all lights will shut off like when you have the key out. This could very well be it? I was thinking a ground cable too but It is absolutely random, parked, driving, left turns, right turns, bumps, no bumps.
What you all think?
When you change the switch or ignition switch with the keys in it and you get it other keys new ones and then when your battery or when you put the car on it says on the ignition left service how do you get the best service light off once you put a new ignition switch in and have different keys
Hi! My radio hasn’t been turning off the last two weeks until I turn off my car (which will then cut power to it it seems, otherwise I press the radio on/off button and it just stays on). Tried to start my car today after not driving it for a week and it’s super close to starting but won’t go. Do you think it’s related to the ignition switch/radio issue? It’s a mid-90s Mitsubishi and I read that it could be related to a faulty ignition switch. I’ll probably just jump it in the meantime but curious if this might be correlated - any insight is super appreciated!
have a 2014 4 runner that dies when driving. No acceleration, limited steering braking but lights radio on. No codes. Could it be an ignition switch issues. Had a new clock spring installed 3 months ago.
Thanx
As you turn the key it's very " soft" where it would normally crank.
My ignition has zero resistance it just freely turns to the start position with no start and idk how if its a bad clinder lock housing (where the ignition lock cylinder goes in) any advice ?

OK im no car guy so in other words my transmission needs replaced. I been starting it to keep fluids moving up until recently where I have NOTHING at all, so ignition switch will be getting changed thanks for the video great job
Great video
Great comment
Do you have any idea why my steering wheel DOESN'T lock when I turn it off? (07 chevy avalanche) Sometimes, when I go to turn it on the key won't turn. If I take the key out and flip it over, it will turn.
Thank you!!!
2002 loos switch, new battery power start by hand then die, but use electric starter ok?
actually before you go ripping out a fuse or relay to get the engine to turn off, try pressing the brake pedal, it should kill it after key is removed, this fixes nothing and you still have an ignition issue you have to get checked asap before you get stranded but at least you can turn it off for the time being
Brake didn't work for me when mine did that and it failed to turn off about a handful of times over the 5 years I've owned it. I had to turn it back on the off 1 time, another time I had to kill it by releasing the clutch while in gear(ouch) and can't remember the other times but it freaked me out the 1st time. Now my car won't turn over. As soon as I try to start it all power goes away. I'm banking on it's the ignition. Also, I've locked myself out several times because of the ignition failing to alert me my keys were still in the ignition 🤦
@@officermeyer5733 dang what kinda car you got? i got a 2011 mazda3 sport and mine turns off when pressing the brake pedal when i take the key out but otherwise it runs for about a minute then auto shuts off. i was told it has to do with the electric connector to the parking brake, i dont have an electric park brake but there's a wire that goes to my park brake and they said if they disconnect that wire it will solve the issue so you can try that. as long as you have the typical mechanical parking brake it will still work but the light wont show up on your dash is all. but either way it's probably our ignitions
Yes you answered my question. Car turns off while running. Already replaced the starter
Was it a bad ignition?
@@danielchavez3264 no I don’t think so. I’ve got several cars but the time I wrote this is when I had very mysterious problems with my 15 Ford Fusion se Long story short- it went away on its own. Those problems just disappeared. Car works perfectly normal now. 🤷🏽
Why would you replace the starter for an issue like that? It already is started so the starter obviously was perfectly fine
2012 Chevy equinox and car sounds like it’s about to cut off while at a light and no check engine light on , changed mass flow sensor and purge valve , when i take the key out ignition it take a few secs for the car to turn off
You are the only one to make sense but I don't think that will fix my problem I nostart but disconnected battery and start
just had this issue on my 2008 civic, today. 220,000 miles
My 2016 Jeep Patriot is just lately experiencing a problem but not every time I think it's the ignition switch but this symptom isn't mentioned in this video. I turn the key to start and it cranks fast but doesn't attempt to start. I release the key to run and it continues to crank. I turn the key to off and it stops cranking. It doesn't do this every time but I think it's a symptom of a failing ignition switch or key assembly. Any thoughts?
Did anyone ever help you with this issue? Mine sticks in the start position, I have to turn it back a little by hand, starts fine in the morning other that having to turn it back from the start position, but once it's warm it will crank but won't start. 🤔
Mines the first one but I have to move the steering wheel and start it at the same time and it starts right up
Another problem is that when you turn to crank the engine to start it, the car electricity cuts right away. The AM1 and 2 fuses kept blowing. It can be a faulty electrical problem from the ignition switch.
Explain more plzz I'd you can will replacing the switch help or do you have to find a wire
@@lilberto1774 fist thing u should do. If ur AM fuse keep blowing is replace it, then go under the car bonnet and jerk at the wire harness. Most times the fuse blow bec a wire is burnt and its touching the engine and grounding. Before u replace the ignition switch u should check to confirm if its bad. Then u need the vehilce type and year look the part up.
For me i have a 2004 toyota and i see alot of them with the same problem. All u do is give the wore harness a tug like 2 times them start the car, if the fuse dont blow there is the prob. 90% of times that is the problem.
@@TonyMontana-xf8fr Lol, my god, it's been 4 or 5 years for me, all over it, can't nail it.... Haven't had fuses blow, but first time today, the battery dropped from full power to 7V, after I touched the + cable IN, to the TIPM, and stayed there, until I unhooked a connector attached to the side of the TIPM(plastic holder, I don't think it was the connector touching anything, but after disconnecting it, the batttery climbed right back to 11V... IDK, that's all new after years.... for years, half the time perfect start, and half the time full power, no crank,.... but if I hold the FOBIK against the spring long enough, it eventually starts, anywhere from 30 secs to 5 mins I've held it, and it goes like it should. Never had another problem. aarrggghhhh lol peace
@@TonyMontana-xf8frThank U sir or... Madamn! Lol! tryin 2b politically correct. CTFU
What about if the ignition is heating up as you drive so when you stop and turn the car off, both it and your key are hot to the touch? Is that a problem with the ignition switch?
The wire has a bad or open circuit and needs a bigger relay
I can charge brand new battery for 30 seconds and truck starts. Brand new terminal lines over battery post. As soon as I take foot off of the accelerator, the engine shuts off and will not restart until I jump start for 30 seconds. Engine again stalls immediately after releasing petal. Ignition switch?
Can this also cause yr key to get stuck n the key does not snap back when u try to start it...car doesn't start at all...not communicating with the car
whats symptoms of a bad stsrter besided car wont crank or start.
Hi, so my car wouldn’t turn on the other day. When I tried starting it I heard a humming sound but it wouldn’t start. All the lights were working & the battery was fine. After I got towed home the car started right up! It’s been starting ever since. What could this be? Any help is appreciated..
I have a 2016 Chevy impala LTZ and the engine wouldn’t shut off no matter how much I pushed the start button. I remember I cleaned my trunk I check my trunk again and found I accidentally hit some type of sensor. First I removed the start/run fuse and pushed the sensor in and put the fuse back in.That fixed my car. I thought it was a bad ignition switch but nope just my fault 😅
My problem with my C20 was it had a bad ignition module!!! 😎
bought a new switch and I still don't get any cranks, no start. Do you have any idea what I am facing?
Do you mean ignition lock cylinder? Or ignition switch..
I have a new automatic CVT car. Since I have arthritis in my hands, I can't rotate the ignition key at once from Lock to Start. Instead, I turn from Lock to ON, I release my hand and turn to start.
Since doing like this, there is sometimes a screeching sound when I twist from ON to Start, this noise stops after I release the key and the engine starts. Even though I pay attention to release the key rigth after the engine starts.
What do you think this problem comes from ? I suspect because of my arthritis, I turn the key too far to the Start position.
I have had this screeching sound a couple times so far. Could it already have caused damage to the teeth on the flywhell and on the starter ?
Thank you.
🤣 just walk u old cxnt
It is possible that the screeching sound you hear when turning the key from ON to Start is caused by wear and tear on the starter and flywheel due to turning the key too far into the Start position. This can cause damage to the teeth on both components, resulting in the screeching sound. It is important to have this issue checked by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your car's components. They can also advise on any modifications or adjustments that can be made to your car to make it easier for you to start it.
My problem, my radio will turn on randomly by its self over night and it is killing my battery. Sometimes when I step out my car, my radio doesn’t turn off so I have to turn my ignition lock cylinder back and forward to turn it off. Is this the radio it’s self causing this??
What could cause my car not to start on the first try I put my key in and I hear a click sometimes it starts on the second try but sometimes not and I hear the same click but it ninety-nine percent of the time starts on the 3rd try it's not my Celluloid or starter because I had that replaced it's not my coil pack because I had that replaced it's not my spark plugs because those all look fine it's not my alternator because that's fine trying to figure out what it is could a clogged catalytic converter cause that?
Having starting problems with 2015 Fusion SE. I can get it to start wiggling key in the switch. Hey can you check to see if it’s ignition switch by bypassing it and hitting the starter posts? Although bit late for that just ordered switch from ford dealer get it tomorrow..
What happened?! Any updates?!
@@DIXIEMAFIA251 well to make long story short , I’ve taken to several shops they had different opinions . The last shop car acted perfectly normal and they couldn’t scan it. From that day on it’s still working perfectly normal. I dunno 🤷🏽♂️
I am having the dash lights flash on quickly an the battery light stay on, turn it off an an back on all the lights an everything is as normal, getting it replaced on thurs, an not starting it unless I need to!~ An the vehicle won't turn off either randomly at times, so I hit the button on the remote an it turns off, so I have symptoms 3 & 4.
What's the issue if the power still works, but it just takes a few key turn tries to start the engine? Thanks
probably your starter
I have a problem on a 95 civic where sometimes when turning the key on, the fuel pump sound won't come on until around 50 seconds later. Could it be the ignition switch?
Bad main relay
Hi. I can take my FOBIK out(2009 RAM) while driving, or parked, and the truck will keep running, but I can't, as you say, turn it to the off position and have it keep running, so I'm not quite sure what to think... Is this basically the same problem, the ignition switch, or is this also rare, and it's own problem?? I have full power, but no crank, no clicks, nothing happens, but if I hold the FOBIK against the spring, it eventually just starts. Maybe 30 secs, maybe 5 mins...
I had ruled out the ignition module, because using the remote start, same thing, no start, and messages - 'disabled the remoter starter' and 'system fault'. But I watched this video, cz I've never been 100% about anything. Maddening
Tia, Peace
My Toyota Camry 2007 having a strange problem , a ridiculous symptom : In run the car for about 1 or 2 hours . If I stop the car in parking lot then go to buy drink in 7 Eleven, when I come back , I can't start the engine ! No crank , no sound ... ! But if i wait about 1 hour , I can start engine again !

Did you fix thr problem @@TuanNguyen-vf2qn
Often when I turn my key to start, it does nothing, no turning over, literally nothing, until I turn it second or even a third time, then it starts and seems fine. Any thoughts?
2016 ecoboost f150. I simply only insert key straight into ignition. (I’m not turning or cranking it yet.) the truck makes a buzzing noise for like 6 seconds then stops. I proceed to turn on truck . The noise sounds lie something electric on the rear but I understand noise travels. Any thoughts?
It could be your fuel pump.

Hey hey hey I've got an 08 Chinese scooter. It wants to start in the utility position. Dash and brake lights light but when it's in the start no brake lights no dash no starter. Weird is the only answer I get.
Could a faulty ignition switch cause the starter to stay
engaged for a couple of seconds after letting off on the key?
Yes

My Toyota Camry have ignition switch problem . Fix this first because is basic and cheaper to replace stater or alternator
Idk what to do fam. I turn the key and it turns on the accessories in my car but my car won’t start until I turn it off and on several times. I just had the entire ignition replaced because we thought it might of been this or a bad lock cylinder but even with everything brand new, IT IS STILL DOING IT. Battery and alternator both checked out and passed their tests so they’re fine. Idk what else it could be. Maybe the starter? My car will eventually start but it takes like 2-4 times of putting the key in, turning it, and taking it back out for it to actually start.
If it cranks no start try starter or fuel pump
Please help!! When i turn the key to accessories, everything comes up fine. However, when i turn the key to the start position, it does absolutely nothing. Also it remains in the start position after releasing the key. It doesn't automatically go back to the accessories position. What could cause that?

yes. try it out and see if it still occurs
My ignition turns and the starter works but no dash lights and, I'm not getting fuel or spark. I just thought, I'd mention it has an hei distributor. 😎

I tried to start my 96 ram too quickly after a failed start and now it won't go into acc or anything. Not even getting 12v at any fuse box. So I think I'm going to replace the ignition switch and see what happens.
What happened? My old tundra is doing it too
My car kept running after removing the key. Tried removing battery as a first step and it didnt turn off. Removed that fuse and it shut off.
will a faulty switch send a code
Do I need to program the key if I get the whole ignition with keys from a junkyard
Yes
I switched car batteries, but now i just turn my key and nothing happens not even the speedometer or any electronics turn on.
No time, no dash, only an airbag light is on but nothing else. I press the unlock button on the IKT and nothing happens, just as if it had a dead battery, but the battery is completely fine.
I have an issue with a 2007 Corolla where when you try to fire it up, the starter goes but the car doesnt start. We think its the switch because sometimes it cranks, and other times it does nothing except click. Any thoughts?
Edit: problem was the crankshaft position sensor

Hello
sometimes when i brake the engine turn off can the ignition switch cause this problem ?
Here is a video of some common reasons why it could turn off when you are at a stopped position. czcams.com/video/10H-GBPCU2g/video.html&ab_channel=EasyAutoFix
Is it when you slam on your brakes? And is it usually after starting your car after letting it warm up?
Would a bad ignition switch cause these two issue.
1. Accessory ignition stays on even when key is fully turned off and removed from barrel.
2. Car only starts after several attempts turning the key.
Thanks.
find out any information i’ll be driving and my car will just stop mid drive key ignition light blinks and it takes a couple times for it to start back ip
I have the same problem. If I don't start my jeep after a few days then the battery dies. Sometimes I know the battery is not dead because I drive it everyday but when I turn the key to start the jeep, nothing happens. It only does one click. I have to have the key in a certain position when I turn the key to start the car and that seems to work. My ASD relay switch also seems to get burned out because I have to replace it every year. So I'm thinking that the ignition switch and the ignition lock cylinder are the problem because it may not be shutting off everything after I turn the Jeep off.
@@at4225 i tied a string around my key then put it in the ignition and around the wheel to keep it tight in

How to replace switch??
Why won’t my key turn at all in my ignition
i changed the battery and everything turns on but wont start it does a clicking noise could that be the ignition?
If you hear a clicking noise coming from the starter, I would say it's the starter going out. Make sure to test first. It's also worth checking the battery connections to ensure they're tight and clean. Loose or corroded connections can prevent the starter motor from receiving enough power to turn the engine over. you could also try tapping the starter motor lightly with a dead blow hammer while someone else tries to start the engine. Sometimes this can temporarily free up a stuck starter motor.

This is all great, but my key gets all the way to just before the lock position and won't turn any more. It doesn't happen all the time. The only way I can get it out is to kinda jam the shifter into park, and then it will come out. Any ideas?
What if you can start your car and remove the key and drive it without it.
I think u gotta pretty big issue there
Have you found out what it is yet?
It's the key lock cylinder
Just was hit by Ian in southwest Florida hard. I sat at a gas station for two hours in line continuously turning my car on and off to save fuel and yesterday to charge things since we still don't have power. I thought it was my battery for it wasn't changed in over 3 years, I got a jump but the car wouldn't turn, I decided to get a battery fortunately was able to and replaced it. But the battery on right and it's doing the same thing. I would turn to accessories and dash comes on, then I go to on and ignition goes dark on dash..its not my alternator either. Does this mean it could still be ignition or maybe fuses? Not sure. It's a stickshift and have brand new clutch kit and everything else. I have a 2006 g35 Infiniti. All help would be great for no mechanics are working till Monday due to power outages, these are horrible times here :(

@@JaNoahShow59 Hey sorry buddy, been so busy lol it was a switch in my clutch pedal 😩
@@KrisMIW91 oh do you mean the black button? Where the clutch pedal pushes it in? I dont know if its the same though as the 350.
Hi
I’m having all problems
Nothing on my Dodge journey starts. No windows, dashboard or anything smh
Main fuse or alternator fuse 150 amp
I can simply touch the key hole without my keys and my shit will start up and then turn off. When it does this I just go in the house and I can hear my car cranking itself over and over again while a grab a beer.

My 02 grad prix macanic had for months, you tub help me find key release button under stirring column
If that doesn't work and your key isn't loose and can't be pulled out in any other position but the off, then replace the ignition switch
Replace the ignition lock cylinder not the ignition switch. People get these two components confused.
@@truthvigilante4263 thank you for that information! I just changed my ignition switch and got no results. My ignition cylinder is coming tomorrow so hopefully that works. Im a current student of CZcams School for Mechanics. God bless!
Has anyone got there car/truck stalled on a traffic stop and realized you have a faulty ignition switch 😭💀
Wow- half a million got stung by this click bait! Because we all know that all ingition systems are created equal, right? BTW- nothing in my ignition switch goes to any type of computer in my 72' Chevelle...
Why do I speak more longly at the end of every sentance?????
