I've my car parked for about a week didn't know what to do with it until I saw your smart tip. Much appreciated for sharing the experience. Thank you 🙏
I have a Honda Fit, and had this same key issue. And being locked out in the rain at the office is NOT fun. Had some Wd40 stashed in my closet. It's going in better. Thank you!
Try a lock lubricant, like graphite, or a little bit of lithium grease in a spray can with a nozzle like your WD40....Jim PS.....WD40 is not a lubricant.
Was just locked out on my lunch break at work. After trying for 15 minutes and no luck in this 98⁰ heat, I watched your video and found some wd40 in the facility. It took two bursts and it let me in. Writing from the AC interior of my car. Thanks!
Let me save you all trouble. DO NOT DO THIS. The key hole grabs onto the straw and doesn’t let it go. It broke off in my lock now I have to replace my whole lock
To people saying this is a bad idea/don't use WD40/etc.: *This is a temporary fix.* When your Honda key and lock get to this point it means your key and lock are worn out and at the end of their useful life. *You are going to have to replace the lock and key anyway.* This happened to my Honda Element. I sprayed WD40 in and it was enough to let me unlock the door. Everything worked for several months and it seemed ok so I didn't worry about it. But suddenly one day this week my driver door lock stopped working. I could not turn the key, the lock was stuck at 45 degrees. Locksmith came and said my key was severely worn out. He had to cut me a new high security key and program it, cost $150. (Dealer charges even more.) *He warned me several times "Do NOT use your old key any more or you will ruin your ignition lock!"* It's even more expensive to get your ignition lock replaced! And I still have to get my door lock fixed! If it bothers you to spray stuff into your lock then you can always enter through the passenger door.
hey my 07 honda odyssey is doing the same thing its a gamble everytime i lock it, i have extra keys stashed do you think switching keys would help a little?
I'm an automotive locksmith. Honda's are notorious for for having bad wafers (many of you call them tumblers). No other maker has this issue this bad. They have known about it for years and for some reason haven't addressed it. The door lock should have been rekeyed in addition to a new key. You will have problems down the road as only half of it was addressed. We use a spray called Houdini it's made for locks. Don't use graphite. That went out with high button shoes. These door locks a complete PITA to take out. Many YT video's on how to do it. If you are handy this is a DIY project. Buy a rekeying kit and fix your door locks without paying me $300. In all honesty they are such a PITA we send them to a mechanic to have them pulled and we will rekey them. I won't do them myself any more. Removing the the window 2 screws makes it a lot easier.
Sadly, this didn't work for my 2015 Ford Fiesta (similar door lock control of the electric door locks). My key did and does go all the way in (works on the passenger side at same insertion depth, hence I'm still able to drive the car, locking and unlocking via the dash button), but won't turn more than a few degrees toward "lock" and even less toward "unlock". I suspect the mechanism behind the cylinder is jammed in some way and I'll wind up paying a body shop or locksmith to fix it... :(
2006 Accord EX. First my driver side door, then passenger side, now ignition. Door lock actuators are screwed which is why I started using the keys instead of the remote in the first place. I have had some shit cars before and have never had so many problems like this. F*** you Honda. They obviously used garbage components. It is still mechanically sound though. But like I said, never had so many issues on any other vehicle I have ever owned. The door locks are in sync. So one actuator failure lead to having to replace everything. The first time you get locked out, is the funnest time. It only gets better after that. Hondas are reliable, sometimes. But this uncommon crap gets pretty expensive after a while. I miss the 90's...
Pro tip: don't use WD-40 in locks. The "WD" stands for "Water Displacement". WD-40 works great for keeping water off of and out of things, but it collects dust and will turn it into a gritty paste that will hurt your locks. If you're in a dry climate you can use a graphite or teflon based lubricant such as triflow.
Any tips for the manual lock mechanism on the inside? Mine is sticking just slightly. It seems like it might turn into a problem soon. Any suggestions at all?
I always wondered as far as cold weather goes.or even heavy rain.. Is it possible for the key hole to Rust from the inside preventing it from unlocking?
I have a 2006 that's currently doing this.... I thought about WD-40 cuz I've been without the car for a day & it is from up north so hopefully this will work , thank u
Be sure to have a new key cut when you can. Eventually the key will stick and not turn the lock or be removed. Had the have a locksmith cut a new key and replace the lock q yr ago. This was just a quick fox to get you from being stranded
@@willwood487 I definitely will thank you for the advice appreciate it alot, I can imagine in an urgency someone might brake a window smh horrible when your in a rush ... thankfully I youtubed this
DO NOT DO THIS. wd40 collects dirt which will jam the tumblers worse than before. Use only dry lubricant DESIGNED for locks, which is usually made of graphite or teflon.
Thank you! This worked great! However, in my case, it was because the lock was frozen over AND a dying battery on the key fob so none of the doors would unlock with just the key fob. I sprayed a ton (and I mean A TON) of wd-40 into the driver key hole, and was able to get into my car but the lock froze up again so I couldn't open the driver door (could have climbed out the window or other doors, I guess lol).. Fortunately I had a pair of pliers in my car & yanked the lock up from the inside and sprayed more wd-40 into the keyhole! Oh yes! On the road again!
It wasn't the door flap that you said was the problem since it DID allow the key to go in about halfway. Instead, it was most likely the inner lock "flaps" that were stuck and prevented the locking/unlocking process... thus allowing the key to turn and do its business. IMHO
❤❤❤Turn to Jesus people, he died for your sins. Repent of what the New testament describes as sin. Believe the gospel get baptized and obey the teachings of Jesus. The gospel and the teachings of Jesus are documented in Matthew Mark Luke and John. Jesus is the only way to be saved, if you have faith in Jesus through your faith you will live by his teachings. God bless ❤❤❤😊
It will get you by until you can have another lock installed and key cut to match. Eventually mine stopped working and the key was stuck in the lock neither unlocking or turning to release the key. At that point I had a locksmith rescue me. We eventually had a fob key made and use the button on the key. Hard to do all that in a pinch.
Yes indeed fist thought I had and tried. No luck I think someone tried to break into it.Key hole doesn't look straight up and down. I got the key to go in once or twice .Turned to the left but not to the right.Then the key got stuck in lock,very difficult to remove. Battery is dead no surprise it dies if the car hasn't been driven in two days or more.4 days car wasn't driven .
Mine was not a key problem, or to use WD40, or the electric actuator, or anything else not found in any of these videos. No, the problem was the lock cylinder shaft not being connected to the lock actuator that is connected to the cable, that in turn, moves the door lock knob. To fix this, there is a rubber cover that you remove, revealing a bolt that connects the key lock to the actuator. There is a 10MM bolt to remove, and then take out the door lock. Remove the key lock cylinder and reposition the shaft into the mechanism that turns the lock. Then your door lock is now fixed. I would have made a video about this, but its not my thing. Peace out.
If the lock is actually frozen (usual hint: it's well below freezing outside and the driver door was facing rain or sleet before it got cold enough to freeze solid), windshield washer fluid is better than WD-40. Otherwise, as others have noted, this is at best a temporary fix, you need to at least get the lock cleaned and relubricated with the correct grease, as well as lock and key checked for wear.
Mine didn't work. I put a ton of WD-40 as recommended, waited 4-5 minutes, and still couldn't make it to work. I think my lock is busted. Switching to another method.
@@pinkelefant4ever mine dont lock well usually i just push the driver door lock down and it locks all of the doors then pull it up so the driver door stays unlocked
Actually people, this is the worst idea. It might work for a day or 2. But you will have to do it all the time. Buy a lockspray or keyspray. Im not sure what it's called exactly in English. There is even lockspray or keyspray for high/low temp. so it doesnt frost you keylock.
Don't use WD40 for locks! Use a lubricant that has a silicone, graphite or Teflon base only for locks. WD40 is a SOLVENT not a LUBRICANT. It will remove the lubricant in the lock. Graphite works best but spray only inside the lock as it is grey.
Thank you man. Locked myself out at the car wash. Girlfriend brought the spare key. Spare key did not work. Called triple A. Said he will be there in an hour. Watched this video and tried my spare key again and it worked !!!
WARNING! I used triflow lube but a piece of the red hose broke off into the lock and i had to figure out a way to get it out, i used small allen wrenches, and it still didn't work for me, not saying it won't for others but for my cousin car it didn't work, her lock seems loose and worn out.
Gonna give it a try.. my alarm system had been weird. Main key won’t open now, but will the trunk. Radio goes out every now and then, have to put back code. New battery installed 2 months ago. Update… nope and since that happens and you could pop it with a coat hanger, or squeeze in the trunk as the key works there most likely… then had to go under car and unplug the car horn for the alarm. Makes it drivable at least and not a nuisance. But this didn’t work for me spraying. For me I checked the hinges and the key worked 3 times and never again. Something is a miss inside the door. I just can’t believe in my 2006 civic no key lock on passenger… that alone would solve 90% of my issues till I get the main door fixed.
Thank you!!! I have 2004 Honda Accord and was thinking I needed a new door lock that would hundreds of dollars.. And what’s worst is for about 3 days straight I started leaving the door unlocked due to fear I would not be able to get it back open again; it got really bad. But I did everything you described in this video and it worked great! The easiest it has felt in years!! Thank you!
@@Brandonjames8046 Yeah. I was doing that…. Because the author of this video is right. It does slowly come back. Luckily for me, I didn’t know until 6 months ago that my spare remote control lock still works…. That’s one option. If you can get a new battery in your remote lock if it does work already….
Did not work for me. All my key hole are messed up, never once I've experienced this with Honda but both Honda PILOT did this.. smh @ Honda pilot. Driver side key was able to go in further but still can't turn. Tried my back trunk and the straw got stuck. I tried everything and it wouldn't come out so I pulled it and now the tip of the straw is stuck in the key hole.
for anyone thinking about if this will work for any other old honda because the locks on my odyssey are out of whack also... i'll post my findings within a couple of days.
barely today I got this problem with my key it won't turn at all and I seen this video so imma give it a try and see wat happends hopefully it works but if it doesn't well It won't come out of my pocket cause it's my girls car LOL😆😆😆😆
TEMPORARY FIX like so many others have said also. I did this for a little while until today it stopped working completely had to miss work an call a lock smith. If your doin this more than one a week to open ur door go get it fixed or even get a battery powered unlock button to unlock an open it auto zone does it for cheap
kevin sharp haha dam that jus happend to me rn I put it in to spray and it got stuck I wiggled and wiggled and nothing till pulled it off and it broke inside smh I was so mad Did you end up take the the broken piece out ? How’s you do it
Well not exactly. I heated up the key to try and melt it and to free it up. Got some but not all. Still doesn’t work. I think ya have to take it all apart is the best but looks like you have to have the right tools. Best of luck to you.
Use a small flat screw driver to hold the "flap" open wile you insert the red" straw". Also i used fluid film when i did this. My key wouldn't even insert into the lock but after lots of spraying and in and out with the key it worked. Only on passenger side will try again with some grafite spray for locks. Hope this helps someone.
Now when I put mine in it won't turn left or right
We're you able to figure out a way to get it to work? This is my current issue. Tia!

A mechanic's perfume...
Or the car's perfume.
I tried WD40 before I saw your video and no luck that's why I resorted to RUclips. Ill try oil .

What if the WD40 doesn’t work?
Spray graphite is the trick not WD-40. The WD-40 evaporates and dissipates over time
What a terrible idea

Do not use WD-40 on any type of lock, graphite is the way to go. WD will collect dirt and get the lock dirty, making your situation worse

Your reply helped me. I got locked out the car yesterday. Trying this today.
This me rn leaving my door unlocked I can’t be locked out
@@Brandonjames8046 Yeah. I was doing that…. Because the author of this video is right. It does slowly come back. Luckily for me, I didn’t know until 6 months ago that my spare remote control lock still works…. That’s one option. If you can get a new battery in your remote lock if it does work already….
My is not
Gonna work
Yesssss.....
What if wd40 doesn't work?
Key is probably damaged and a new one will need to be Lazer cut
This doesn't work on my doors all my doors will not open with my key
Did not work for me.
All my key hole are messed up, never once I've experienced this with Honda but both Honda PILOT did this.. smh @ Honda pilot.
Driver side key was able to go in further but still can't turn.
Tried my back trunk and the straw got stuck. I tried everything and it wouldn't come out so I pulled it and now the tip of the straw is stuck in the key hole.
Didn’t work on my 2003 Honda Element. Same exact issue.
I have a 2012 Honda civic and the key turns in door the key hole easily but doesn’t unlock or lock it.
for anyone thinking about if this will work for any other old honda because the locks on my odyssey are out of whack also... i'll post my findings within a couple of days.
barely today I got this problem with my key it won't turn at all and I seen this video so imma give it a try and see wat happends hopefully it works but if it doesn't well It won't come out of my pocket cause it's my girls car LOL😆😆😆😆
Same exact problem for a 05 civic DX VP but it didn’t work. How we I was able to insert it in all the way but it wouldn’t turn
TEMPORARY FIX like so many others have said also. I did this for a little while until today it stopped working completely had to miss work an call a lock smith. If your doin this more than one a week to open ur door go get it fixed or even get a battery powered unlock button to unlock an open it auto zone does it for cheap
Didn’t work for me either. A piece of the red nozzle actually broke off in the lock as well.
kevin sharp haha dam that jus happend to me rn I put it in to spray and it got stuck I wiggled and wiggled and nothing till pulled it off and it broke inside smh I was so mad
Did you end up take the the broken piece out ? How’s you do it
Well not exactly. I heated up the key to try and melt it and to free it up. Got some but not all. Still doesn’t work. I think ya have to take it all apart is the best but looks like you have to have the right tools. Best of luck to you.
Use a small flat screw driver to hold the "flap" open wile you insert the red" straw". Also i used fluid film when i did this. My key wouldn't even insert into the lock but after lots of spraying and in and out with the key it worked. Only on passenger side will try again with some grafite spray for locks. Hope this helps someone.
Wow that’s happening to me right now I’ve been finding rides without my car because I’ve been saving to think to spent $200 or more to get it fix

Glad it helped its only a temporary fix. After a few years I had to eventually replace the key and lock.
