Replacing the ignition switch or cylinder in a 2010 Dodge Avenger (2008-14) - key binds, won't turn

  • The key would occasionally bind in the ignition on this 2010 Dodge Avenger. I suspected that the lock cylinder tumblers were binding, which requires removal of the ignition cylinder from the dashboard in order to clean or replace the lock cylinder. This was a little trickier than I expected, so I thought I would make a video showing the critical steps required to do this since I couldn't find much online.
    This video should help anybody who has an ignition problem in this generation of Dodge Avenger or similar Chrysler vehicle.

    I absolutely hate the dodge avenger. Between the TIPM and the weird dash light setup is absolutely shit! However, the mechanical stuff is good..engine transmission etc. But EVERYTHING attached to that, is shit.
    Thanks for the video. I'm struggling with it now. I'm sorry, but I have to say this....FUCK!

    This just happened to me today. Key came out but car still running. I’ve had nothing but problems with this car for the last 3 1/2 years. 5 months of payments left and I’m getting rid of this car. Everything is new on this no dash lights nothing, I baby this car but 3 weeks ago replaced both thermostats. Been through 8 thermostats already in the time I’ve had it. Now this, I will never own a dodge again.

    So you didn’t have to reprogram the immobilizer after changing the ignition switch? Changed the ignition switch and now it won’t start.

      No, not if you unplug the battery and don't damage the immobilizer.

    How do you remove the wires on the back of the instrument cluster?

    • @mfalasa
      @mfalasa  2 года назад

      I was able to tilt the cluster down, reach back and undo them. I can't remember but I think there was a tab to press down to release each connector

      Only if you are an idiot like me. I sprayed graphite lubricant down the barrel of the lock cylinder while the ignition switch was still on it, then I tried to turn it on and the graphite lubricant shorted out the contacts on the ignition switch. If you avoid that you'll have no problem.
