Probably the receiver for the key chip. It has to go back on. But it doesn't have to be programmed. Replace it and the security will go off. With the key of course.

yes you can, 1991 Dodge Dynasty Ignition Switch

Things You'll Need

  • Screwdriver
  • Tamper-proof Torx driver
  • Ignition key
Instructions
    • 1 Remove the plastic cover from the steering column. The cover is two pieces held together by screws that thread through the bottom piece of plastic into the top piece. Remove the screws and pull the cover off. This exposes the large square ignition switch. The key cylinder connects to the ignition switch.
    • 2 Remove the tamper-proof Torx screws that secure the ignition to the steering column using a tamper-proof Torx driver. You can get this type of Torx driver from your local auto part store.
    • 3 Pull the wiring harness out of the ignition switch.
    • 4 Place the ignition key into the cylinder and turn it onto the auxiliary position. Push the metal pin on the ignition switch in using a screwdriver and slide the ignition cylinder half way out of the ignition switch. Turn the key to the off position and slide the cylinder all the way out of the ignition switch.
    • 5 Place the key into the new cylinder, slide the cylinder into the ignition switch half way. Turn the key to the auxiliary position and slide the cylinder in the rest of the way. Remove the key from the cylinder.
    • 6 Press the wiring harness onto the ignition switch.
    • 7 Secure the switch to the steering column using the tamper-proof Torx driver.
    • 8 Place the covers back onto the steering column and secure them using the screwdriver.

Key stuck in ignition how to get out 2007 cadilac dts

If your battery is dead, the key will stay in. Try giving it a jump. Also check to see if the steering wheel is locked. If it is, try turning the steering wheel somewhat vigerously whilst trying to remove the key. Short of that, it's a common problem with those year GM vehicles. Their ignition switches suck badly

Stuck eldorado key in DTS ignition now car won't start

Make sure your steering wheel isn't locked. Sometimes a key won't turn until you jiggle the wheel while trying to turn the key.

I own a 1990 jeep comanche truck. Some kids broke into it to steal it but was unsuccessful. They used some kind of sharp pry bar to pry some of the plastic off my steering column. They did not break my...

What the problem sounds like is that one of these rods operates the actual ignition switch (I've seen this kind of ignition system on 1970's GM's). When the ignition key is turned the mechanism inside pushes one of these rods which in turn is physically connected to the ignition switch further down the steering column, have a look down there with a light you may be able to see it but it might be covered. Sounds like the rascals were trying to get to the one rod to push or pull on it in order to start the truck. I would put the key in the ignition lock turn it back and forth to see if one of the severed ends moves and notice which way it moves (one of the two going up towards the steering wheel) then put the key in run position (to unlock the steering wheel) Then push (or pull, depending) on the corresponding severed rod, this should start the vehicle. Remember there should be one click then you should feel a kind of spring action push or pull enough to engage the starter then when the truck starts let go of it. You may have to expose enough of the rod to be able to do this. To stop the engine push the rod the opposite way until you feel one click. You can also visit or call a bone yard to see if they have one of these trucks and get yourself the broken pieces or the whole steering column. I hope this helps you.

1994 toyota camry key broke off in ignition and now need to replace it.

You must somehow get the ignition to the "on" position. Remove the cover around the steering column and there should be a hole below the ignition switch/key cylinder. Insert a drill bit (a size that can go into the hole), tap it with a hammer until the key cylinder can slide out. Remember in order to do this, the key must be set to "on". If you are unable to to get it to the "on" position. You must drill the lock pin inside that hole until the key cylinder can be removed.

Cant get key switch out of housing, on a 1974 chevy pick up.Trere are no screws or clips visible.

If you mean remove the ignition tumbler from the steering column, you will have to remove the steering wheel and lock plate, then you will need to remove the turn signal lever and screws, and then pull the turn signal switch up and out of the way, you should then be able to see the housing for the ignition tumbler down in the steering column. Look at the tumbler housing and there should be a small slot towards the end of the housing that you can put a small standard screwdriver into and depress a locking latch that is built into the tumbler. When this latch is depressed you will be able to pull the ignition tumbler straight out of the column.

Ingnition tumbler broke cant start

If the key won't start it; it might not be the key ignition, but rather; the ignition that has a stem that goes from the key ignition down on the steering colunm. However, you can get key ignitions for them, or buy the whole steering colum then take the key ignition out of it. But, I would suggest more information is needed before I can conclude that it is just the key ignition. Hope this help~!

Ignition switch 2005 pontiac sunfire

I had this problem on my daughters 2004 sunfire. I found a new switch on ebay and tried to do it myself. I found a website that had instructions. I dont remember what it was but you can find it if you look hard enough. I just followed the instructions. I had to remove the cover under the steering wheel where your knees are. then I tried everything to pop it out but couldn't. It said to drill out a pin(key type thing) so I really looked at the ignition switch(the new switch helped me see how it worked better) and found what they were talking about then just started drilling, I admitt that I thought I was really messing the thing up but I was out of options at that point, I broke about 4 or 5 bits because of the impossible angle, oh yeh I bought a right angle drill to do the job. I just found the artical. You only need this if your key wont turn the ignition. I forgot about that. Well give it a try its not as hard as it seems and I did a little damage but it didnt affect the ignition operation.
