[2004 HONDA CIVIC EX] Can't tell you how helpful this video was in solving my issue. The dealer wanted $1400 (parts and labor) and O'Reilys wanted $850 (part only). Amazon had the part for $60 but not 100% compatible but got the job done. Thank you again and highly recommend anyone who needs a cheap fix
I was able to remove the cylinder with this method, even better for me the pin went out by itself! The cylinder poped out on its own and cost me 70$ to fix at the locksmith!!! It's already back on and running smoother than ever! All in the same day! One year ago I had the same problem and it cost me close to 800$ to fix and three days without my car! So many thanks to you my man!!! ❤❤❤
Thanks for the video! I was a bit too aggressive when I drilled out the pin and had to use a wooden toothpick to hold the ignition lock in. Couldn't have done the job without your video. Locksmith wanted $700. Got the cylinder rebuilt and new keys for $210.
You are the man! This repair worked as advertised. Once I drilled a small depression where you suggested, the lock assembly just popped out on it's own, since it was spring loaded. Why it works, I do not know. The locksmith here in NW Florida charged 40 dollars to repair the lock cylinder. I destroyed the first cylinder trying to fix it. A replacement from UHS in Miami was purchased for 30 dollars including shipping. Thank you again. Video has all you need to know. Be very careful with that lock roll PIN. It came out on it's own, too and is difficult to see and find once it gets loose.
Thanks for the video, watched a couple from others as well. Just fixed my 06 pilot using your techniques. Saved $215 not buying the entire assembly. Didn't bother going to lock smith. Once I got the cylinder out I removed that top arm thingy, then a small hole was drilled to allow access to drive the pin out holding the end of the cylinder together. Pull the lock apart and it was easy to see which wafer had failed. Pulled that wafer out along with it's matching pair, cleaned everything up and reassembled. Worked great ZERO COST! Awesome! There is like 10 wafers in there, removing 2 of them is no biggie.
@@leonstitanius8377 All the wifers got number on them, just to make sure you’ve putting back the same wifers. If you’ll remove all of them, you’ll be able turn the ignition cylinder with the screw driver, but you won’t be able to start the car because of the immobilizer.
@leonstitanium8377 as your remove more and more wafers more keys will work. there are some number of standard water sizes (such as 1-9) and they correspond to cuts in the key. you can get sets (or singles) of replacement wafers but a new wafer may not play nice with a worn key. usually they wear at the same rate. sometimes you can replace a wafer with a different size than original to match the new key shape better. these Hondas have security chips in the key, so even if you removed all 10 wafers and could just turn the cylinder with a screwdriver, you still couldn't start the engine without a programmed key. thus most people don't really care about removing wafers and technically lowering security. it's more of an issue with the door locks since they also wear out but don't utilize the key's chip. remove half of the wafers and probably at least half of these type Honda keys will open the door. may not be a problem where you live. thieves aren't walking around with rings of Honda "tryout" keys they just smash the window lmao.
I have bought a few hondas with this problem. I do it this way and reach back to the switch with a screwdriver and drive them home to fix the cyl. The wafers inside get bent. Remove the bent ones along with the tiny springs and its fixed. ( videos of how to do this are on YT ) To remove the whole thing is a pain. This saves at least a cpl hrs of work. Great Video.
I'm stuck with the same issue after trying everything else, i believe has a bent wafer. Any tips or tricks? Luckily happened when me and the kiddos pulled into the driveway
@@Denver1976Man dammit. yeah I buy and sell cars as well 20yrs mostly stay with these bowties tahoe silverado ls shit. But these lil 4cylinder Hondas are gold as well. Until wafer gets bent which truly feel like thats wat it is
@@welivelife it most likely is. I know Hondas and Toyota's pretty well And as much as I like honda's. I do not have to work on my Toyotas. routine maint and drive them 300,000 miles or more.

But the key still had to be near the column...lol.
Ok just wanted to share my experience. This worked like a charm! Took aboutv30 min, if that to get the ignition off. Locksmith charged me 50 to fix the lock. Putting it back took longer due to user error! My husband put the ignition back without the spring! Smh 🤦🏻♀️ took us a lot long to get the pin out this time. So remember don’t forget the spring!!

@@ceciliacarmona4208 ok, first check the battery, if that doesn’t work , then try reprogramming the remote. With these steps! To program a door remote for a 2005 Honda Civic, follow these steps: ### Preparation: 1. **Ensure all doors are closed and the ignition is off.** 2. **Have all remotes you want to program ready.** You will need to program all remotes during this process. ### Programming Steps: 1. **Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position.** 2. **Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the remote.** 3. **Turn the key to the OFF position.** 4. **Repeat steps 1-3 two more times (for a total of 3 cycles).** 5. **On the fourth cycle, turn the key to the ON position.** 6. **Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the remote.

Just did the repair on my 2007 honda Odyessy that has the same key switch. Some time back I bought the ASP kit part number A-19-108 to repair the door key because a workmate put red lock tight on the door lock. For $100 the kit came with more lock tumblers than I wiil ever need and I used nine more to repair the worn key switch on the steering wheel. Best $100 I ever spent. The video was helpful on disassembly. I breifly lost the pin that holds the ignition in place but I got lucky and it reappeared. Thanks for posting.
Bro! Thank you! because of this video I saved myself a crap load of cash, I got everything done in three hours all in one afternoon.. my Honda Civic drives great and turns off / on every time! much appreciated!
Thanks for the video. Took about an hour. I left two waffers in the back to hold the key. If you smack the key lightly before taking out the 4 screws, the pin may not need to be drilled. I used a welding tip brush to pull it out. Used a .010 larger roll pin when I reinstalled it. Thank you so much for this video
Bro., You saved me $150. The mobile locksmith told me I did a great job on extracting the cylinder. Said the first time he did it it took him four hours. Took me 30 minutes. Man! If I could only fix the tumblers.
Thanks bro. Great help for me. I just did it. Also I did the work of lock smith and cleared, it was tough to repair the lock. You saved me a lot of time and money.
It worked. Dude thank you for the video. I did this for a friend who is a full time minister on a limited income, so not having to spend $$ to fix h I s car was brilliant.
Just did this. But without a drill--screw a tap into that roll pin and it pulls right out. You have to have a small enough tap, but it beats this kind of jailhouse method. Otherwise, excellent video and thank you for getting me part way!
@@Crypto4x I bought taps ranging from M1 to M3.5, didn’t work for me though. I broke the tap off in the pin. I would up having to dremel off that block all around the pin so I could get pliers on it. I’ve got a long comment here somewhere detailing all I did.
Just did this today on my 04 civic. The roller pin was hard but was able to get it with a small reverse drill bit going slow. Took cylinder to locksmith to get fixed paid $150 others were charging $250! Still saved just replacing the entire housing would of been $550 plus tax just part not including labor extra keys and programming extra also.
Well, I have to say, the extraction part certainly worked on my 2004 Honda Civid. I didn't even have a proper metal drillbits, just a "regular" for-wood bit worked just fine, with a little extra effort (as long as you don't care about grinding it off). I started with 1/32" size, and my tunnel was a bit sideways. After switching to 1/8" bit, the lock's core just popped out by itself as soon as I hit the pin (which dropped out on the floor, w/o too much damage). The spring and the "bulleye" are just resting in their designated place.
nice video - my 2003 Honda Accord EX is very similar but there is a 4th screw in the back to get the second cover off (green in your video, grey on my vehicle)...clearance is about 3/4 inch, even smaller than any bit I have. Had to stop the job today to get an offset screwdriver and going to try tomorrow. Looking forward to finishing this out using another video showing how to knock the rest of those pins out :P wish us luck
update: got the 4th screw out...wasn't pretty and had to get it at a slight angle due to low clearance but managed to get it out with minimal stripping. I see a comment below about putting a bit in a vice grip that seemed to work for them. The right tool for the job should make this easier :P
Aand success!! We were able to fix the lock at home using this video instead of bringing it to the locksmith. Super easy to do the whole fix (at least with our lock): ruclips.net/video/CNYHcSEY3TY/видео.html Thanks for the awesome tutorial!
I have the same exact model and year and came across the same problem as well. Another solution if you have a buster like mine and dont care is to get a chisel and hammer. Go at it at an angle and the top screw eventually twists off. After that the key ignition just slid out lol. Didnt even need a drill, took it to a locksmith and fixed it for $40
Everything worked like a charm. Thank you. Key now turns, steering wheel unlocked. BUT now it turns over and doesn’t start. Key light is flashing. Wonder if something needs to be reset in the security system. Any ideas?
The best instruction I've seen. Without taking the housing off. Thank you. I was a little confused about drilling a hole down. It looks l like the pin was perpendicular. Did the drill hit the pin? Did the hole allow you to push the exposed pin sideways?
So im at the part where i need to take off the black covering of the key ignition hole as i did take off the three screws as you saaid at 1:24 i found a other screw holding the black thing so it won't come off. Do you have any suggestions on trying to figure out how to get that screw off but can't think of a solution without taking more off of the steering wheel off which I really don't want to do.
I had the same obnoxious screw and used a super flat low profile Phillips head screwdriver. Was tedious as hell, but I managed the get a few rotations in with the screwdriver, then used needle-nose pliers to slowly turn the rest of the screw out. Good luck!
Did you ever get an answer? Confuses me too. I don't see how drilling a hole 90 degrees to the roll pin bore helps. Unless it somehow loosens the roll PIN already in the bore.
Thanks for the video, really helped, but can you or anyone tell me what's the purpose of this electronic piece that comes on the keyhole plz. got mine done the same way as you did on the video and the key was able to turn again, only thing that's not working is my keyless entry fob, it's not working when the plug is connected, but when unpluged everything works fine, anyone can help ? thanks
I will probably need to do this soon as my lock is playing silly buggers, have to jiggle the key in and out slightly while attempting to turn it, it does turn in the end. Pretty sure its on its way out.
Nifty ! VERY similar is a 2007 pilot. Just remove the wafers from the cylinder or at least the bad ones, its pretty easy to tell by playing around with the removed naked cylinder, they come right out. Perhaps leaving at least 2 that function fine just to help grip the key is a good idea. On mine, it was the mid to outer ones acting up & I only left the very rear pair after cleaning everything well. That electronic PCB ring requires the key even though you could turn the lock with just about anything, if you remove all of the wafers. Why chance another one acting up later on ? & even if that wasn't the case, who would know ? I guess unless you live in like thE worst neighborhood. But you do indeed need the actual key on these systems anyway. That 3rd rear screw is a bit tricky(a 90deg small offset driver is needed) but it is essentially a FREE 1 hour(ish) fix.
My civic key wont turn tried greasing it up but still won’t turn,is there way that I can turn it over without replacing anything like bang a screw driver in the ignition or take out the ignition piece and turn it manually like on an old dodge??
How did you get the screw off the second little cap before the board is exposed I can't get a screwdriver in that small area... I have my car in pieces out in my parking lot right now and I can't get past that little black cap
@@BudgetClanI ended up getting it out, I sent it to my locksmith, set everything back up and the key still doesn’t turn even tho the tumblers are fixed now, do you have any advice? Having a tough time trying to figure it out. I don’t know if it makes a difference that my steering wheel was locked when I drilled it out? Also there was either no roll pin or it just disappeared when I was drilling
I can answer that. The new lock cylinder can be disassembled by a locksmith and the wafers that fit your old key installed. The wafers are widely available, e.g. Advance Auto. No reprogramming required.
I have a 05 accord, I have to turn the key hard and just right for the car to turn on,it’s almost like something is not lined up.. Should I just replace the the cylinder?
You can if you feel comfortable dng the job... but if you don't feel comfortable do not do it because you can be without an ignition and you can create worse problems.. please let me know in any way how I can help
Guys, don't try to drill out the pin straight like I did. This pin is really hard metal it's gonna take a loong time to drill out. Drill a hole vertically like this guy did.
Great video. Lock fixed. Was a bent wafer which I removed. However on returning the barrel to the housing I cannot get the lock to turn and release steering lock. Out of the housing it works fine. Can’t figure out why?
Great trick. It works better than you expect. Don't know why. Drill baby drill! Seriously, didn't have to drill much. Just a small depression and miraculously with my 2004 Civic, the lock cylinder popped right out. Was not expecting that!
@@BudgetClan ok one more question, Ik u said they’re was 3 screws but there’s a fourth one on the thing that covers the motherboard, how should a go about that?? Bcuz I can’t reach it with a regular screwdriver
Great video and good work. But I just stumbled into the cheapest fix. Just get a new chip key made. You wouldn't think it c p controls that much but it does!!!!Blew my mind I did it on a hunch and now my car starts and runs like new!!!
Saving me 400$ just for the part from Honda if i do it right, that’s not including labor even tho I’d do it myself if I ever bought the part.. hoping this works for me
@@nacimachen5577 ya, there’s a very specific way the cylinder has to enter the housing. I couldn’t explain how, I was lucky enough to find a mechanic who had done it before who did it for me. Basically the rod sticking out the tail end of the cylinder needs to engage with a mechanism inside properly. Best advice I could give it just keep fiddling with it. Saved myself a few thousand bucks
You cut the video at 4:36. You wouldn't keep going. I kind of got lost there a little bit. I don't know how you got the key to turn when you cut the video. Why'd you do that? You didn't want to show how you got the key to turn.
I took it off and called locksmith and they said they charge $500 just to fix the cylinder, that’s just too much, I dont know how people here comment that they pay them only $40-$60 to fix
$60 just to take all the waffers out? 🤣 with those $60 could've bought 4 ignition cylinders. I'm sure he just took the waffers out instead of fixing it the right way.

At 3:20 where or how did you push the nail down? Sorry I'm confused at that part
Did you ever get an answer? Confuses me too. I don't see how drilling a hole 90 degrees to the roll pin bore helps. Unless it somehow loosens the roll PIN already in the bore.
Thank you so much you saved me a lot of money..
This works perfectly! Thank you!
Does this method work for a 2013 Honda Civic?
Thank you! would this be applicable to 2004 accord v6 EX?
Could be similar
Freaked me out for a min! I thought you had 3 hands dang man.
excellent thanks fixed it in 30 minutes 👍

Thanks for the video, really helped, but can you or anyone tell me what's the purpose of this electronic piece that comes on the keyhole plz. got mine done the same way as you did on the video and the key was able to turn again, only thing that's not working is my keyless entry fob, it's not working when the plug is connected, but when unpluged everything works fine, anyone can help ? thanks
Super helpful, just did it and saved me a lot of money.
The hardest part was the middle pin, other than that super easy and cheap fix.
Thank you!!!
Please what model year of Civic is this?
I will probably need to do this soon as my lock is playing silly buggers, have to jiggle the key in and out slightly while attempting to turn it, it does turn in the end. Pretty sure its on its way out.
Hope it worked out!
Nifty ! VERY similar is a 2007 pilot. Just remove the wafers from the cylinder or at least the bad ones, its pretty easy to tell by playing around with the removed naked cylinder, they come right out. Perhaps leaving at least 2 that function fine just to help grip the key is a good idea. On mine, it was the mid to outer ones acting up & I only left the very rear pair after cleaning everything well. That electronic PCB ring requires the key even though you could turn the lock with just about anything, if you remove all of the wafers. Why chance another one acting up later on ? & even if that wasn't the case, who would know ? I guess unless you live in like thE worst neighborhood. But you do indeed need the actual key on these systems anyway. That 3rd rear screw is a bit tricky(a 90deg small offset driver is needed) but it is essentially a FREE 1 hour(ish) fix.
Rock solid advice. I'm staring at these wafers and now I know what they are! Appreciated in Seattle.
My civic key wont turn tried greasing it up but still won’t turn,is there way that I can turn it over without replacing anything like bang a screw driver in the ignition or take out the ignition piece and turn it manually like on an old dodge??
Will this work on a 2003 Honda CRV?
1:27thats when you have this part, the party where if you don't have the right Phillips bit and an 8mm wrench you'll never remove
Thank you for the idea I've been getting pissed at that screw
Its blocked by the wiper control dhit right? Ive been trnna figure out how to get this screw out
@@wanghawk1602 right angle screwdriver
How exactly did you get the pin out? Put a nail in there & hit it with a hammer basically?
If you drill high like he did, the drill bit pushes it out
Worked like a charm

How did you get the screw off the second little cap before the board is exposed I can't get a screwdriver in that small area... I have my car in pieces out in my parking lot right now and I can't get past that little black cap
Offset screwdriver
is this the same lock for a 2008 honda civic dx
No similar.. I have a 2007 ..let me check it out and ill let u know!
Any luck?
I looked and looks like the same mechanism...but I was not broken so can't confirm if it's exact...
@@BudgetClan looks like it’s the same, what drill size did you use?
@@BudgetClanI ended up getting it out, I sent it to my locksmith, set everything back up and the key still doesn’t turn even tho the tumblers are fixed now, do you have any advice? Having a tough time trying to figure it out. I don’t know if it makes a difference that my steering wheel was locked when I drilled it out? Also there was either no roll pin or it just disappeared when I was drilling
If I replace the lock cylinder and it comes with new set of keys will I need to program the keys to the car?
I can answer that. The new lock cylinder can be disassembled by a locksmith and the wafers that fit your old key installed. The wafers are widely available, e.g. Advance Auto. No reprogramming required.
Assuming you still have old set of keys.
I have a 05 accord, I have to turn the key hard and just right for the car to turn on,it’s almost like something is not lined up..
Should I just replace the the cylinder?
You can if you feel comfortable dng the job... but if you don't feel comfortable do not do it because you can be without an ignition and you can create worse problems.. please let me know in any way how I can help
@@BudgetClan thanks for the quick response
I loaded a video on my RUclips channel can you take a look and tell me what you think
Thanks-
I lost my key can i just break off the pen and use a honda key to start it?
what do you use to remove those little screws? what fastener is it they use there ?
- nothing in my box will grip to them
Same here what did you end up using
Guys, don't try to drill out the pin straight like I did. This pin is really hard metal it's gonna take a loong time to drill out. Drill a hole vertically like this guy did.
At 1:23 my car has a screw that keep the black cap in place. There is very narrow space which makes it hard to unscrew. Is there a way around this?
i have this same problem, have u figured it out ?
I have the same problem too
Im going to try quarter inch open end wrench with a small philips drill tip
Offset screwdriver
Great video. Lock fixed. Was a bent wafer which I removed. However on returning the barrel to the housing I cannot get the lock to turn and release steering lock. Out of the housing it works fine. Can’t figure out why?
Did you ever figure this out?
@@tylermulligan2800 I did get it sorted. I can’t remember how though🤦♂️.
will this work on my 2015 honda civic or only certain years?
Posibly... there still very similar...you would need to inspect the housing!
What happens if the locksmith can’t fix the lock? Would it still work with a new lock? Can the chip in the key be moved to the new key?
Would this work on a Honda Civic 2013
For anyone with the screw in the back style, use an offset screwdriver. Impossible to remove unless you take the entire assembly off 😂
Same problem 😢
Use a 1/4" drive socket screwdriver. I superglued a bit into a small socket and was off to the races.
@JC Haywire Boi an offset screwdriver is 7 buckaroos
Next dayed at offest from bezos, off to the races! Make sure it’s a very low profile!
Last owner stripped this screw 😭im literally fucked
Your the freaking man bro!!!!!
Thanks I appreciate it!
@@BudgetClan Your channel title lives up to its name 👍 🙏 🇺🇸
Thank you !😎 Solid Information. Helpful.👍
This work for an ‘04 Honda Element?
Possibly...
I drilled and cannot get the pin exposed. Not sure what else to do
no way. im nervous as hell to be drilling into that. this other guy took the whole lock apart and cleaned out the little tumbler things.
I was nervous also... but there was no way i was gng to pay $500... luckuly everything is awesome!
Great trick. It works better than you expect. Don't know why. Drill baby drill! Seriously, didn't have to drill much. Just a small depression and miraculously with my 2004 Civic, the lock cylinder popped right out. Was not expecting that!
This happened to me last night, is there any way I can start it with a screw driver to get it home?
Yes onece you release the barrel you have access to turn on the vehicle with a screw driver
@@BudgetClan thank you much appreciated, also if I was to order a whole new tumbler would I still need the key reprogrammed?
@@BudgetClan and. Does the car have to read the key? Or should I just b good to put a screwdriver in it and get it started??
@@dionte5819 you would need to have the key next to the transponder and make sure its connected when you try to turn the car over
@@BudgetClan ok one more question, Ik u said they’re was 3 screws but there’s a fourth one on the thing that covers the motherboard, how should a go about that?? Bcuz I can’t reach it with a regular screwdriver
How do you get the 3rd screw out?
Had trouble with that too. Used a ratchet. That worked
Mine turns outside but when I put it in it doesn't turn. Do you know what that could be?
Incredible video and very detailed.
Your welcome please consider subscribing as it helps me!
I drilled holes all long that metal piece I can't seem to find the pin
What years? What models?
Year 2001-2005
Wow, it was so easy to do! Only cost $52 at a locksmith in Tacoma, Washington.
Do you need a new key or anything?
If you follow the instructions and fix the cylinder you would be using the same key
There is no need to drill the body, just use a thin knife blade to pick it up and it will jump out on its own.
Good info... Glad we can help each other!
Great video and good work. But I just stumbled into the cheapest fix. Just get a new chip key made. You wouldn't think it c p controls that much but it does!!!!Blew my mind I did it on a hunch and now my car starts and runs like new!!!
You could of done it all yourself for free..i mean u pretty much did 97% of the work😂 but great video bro
Thanks bro... please consider subscribing as it helps me!
@@BudgetClan i got you
Saving me 400$ just for the part from Honda if i do it right, that’s not including labor even tho I’d do it myself if I ever bought the part.. hoping this works for me
I really hope it does...please keep me updated and let me know what happens!
It worked got it fixed from the locksmith for 50 bucks others were charging 125$! You helped me save a lot thank you 🤘🏼
Awesome bro .... I'm glad u saved money especially in these rough times... please consider subscribing so we stay in contact brother!
I do not understand how you pull the pin out even after you drill the hole. The pin is still in there. how you pull out the pin.
Just apply gravity
Great clip man thanks
Excellent!!!!

When I took it out it spins but when I re insert the cylinder it doesn’t turn
The cylindee is not locked with the pin lock
@@BudgetClan I fixed it lol it was the steering lock preventing the key turning
Awesome bro.. I'm glad u saved money... please consider subscribing as it helps me bro
@@BudgetClan done
@@lowbvll8969 what’d you use to drop the pin? You think I can use a tiny screwdriver?
i didnt drill mine. i just used a dental pick and was able to grab it.
Keep up the good work and pls shout me in ur next video
Thanks
Great video
Thanks
That is great that you were able to fix it
Ty for the Tip ✅
I got the cylinder turning outside the housing but it won't turn inside the housing. I'm so close!
I have the same problem. Were you able to figure it out?
@@nacimachen5577 ya, there’s a very specific way the cylinder has to enter the housing. I couldn’t explain how, I was lucky enough to find a mechanic who had done it before who did it for me. Basically the rod sticking out the tail end of the cylinder needs to engage with a mechanism inside properly. Best advice I could give it just keep fiddling with it. Saved myself a few thousand bucks
@@nacimachen5577what was your experience? Wheel lock?
@@tylermulligan2800so it wasn’t the wheel lock or anything? Just kept fiddling with it?
@@scottb_02 No, I ended up selling it. Hope you have better luck
You cut the video at 4:36. You wouldn't keep going. I kind of got lost there a little bit. I don't know how you got the key to turn when you cut the video. Why'd you do that? You didn't want to show how you got the key to turn.
Nice viddeoo keep it up
Thanks
I took it off and called locksmith and they said they charge $500 just to fix the cylinder, that’s just too much, I dont know how people here comment that they pay them only $40-$60 to fix
Nice video
Awsome thanks
Theresa video that shows how to fix your ignition for free
$60 just to take all the waffers out? 🤣 with those $60 could've bought 4 ignition cylinders. I'm sure he just took the waffers out instead of fixing it the right way.
My wafers are flush yet doesn't work turning inside
Good job
Thank you
Thanks
