Just used your video to fix my 2005 Neon !! My car wouldn't start when i came out of the store. Only would turn on my dash lights, not engage the starter. Had the starter checked after i removed it, it was ok. Took the column apart and the same problem, bought one at Napa auto parts $41.00 installed it. Problem solved!! Thanks for the excellent video.

Yesterday at work, I went to start my 2002 Dodge Neon SE, and it wouldn't even crank over. I was able to bump start it, so I figured the problem was somewhere in the starter system. When I got home, I started checking fuses, relays, connections, etc., and eventually made my way to the clutch starter safety switch to bypass it. When that didn't work, I hammered away on Google until I found this video. I then went to Advance Auto just before they closed and picked up a new ignition switch to install this morning. When I pulled everything apart, I found the actuator pin was broken - exactly like in your video! I am going to install the new ignition switch anyway, because I lost the ability to toggle the key to the accessory position a year or so ago, but I'm now on my way to picking up my new Dorman actuator pin at Advance Auto Parts as well. Hopefully within the next hour, I'll be back on the road and living the nEoN lIfE for another 175,000 miles! And all for about $60! Thanks much, Will Robinson from Robinson's Auto! Oh, and when I'm done, I *will* un-bypass my clutch starter safety switch! :)

This worked perfect! O'reillys had the Dorman 924-704 part in stock for $40, and the security bit set for $7. Because of the video it only took me 30 minutes to diagnose and replace the ignition actuator. Thanks so much.

Good video. The part you replaced is called the IGNITION SWITCH ACTIVATOR PIN ASSEMBLY. It is a $45.00 part. If you sent the vehicle to a dealership, they would have charged you nearly $700.00 for that job. Good work.

Hello there. I found an alternative to going to the junkyard and getting a never used AKA new part. It's Dorman part #924-704: Ignition,Switches Actuator. It's fully assembled as well = drop in replacement. The exact thing happened to me 2 days ago with the 2003 Jeep Wrangler Sport I drive and bought new in '03. Thanks for this video as well as it covers vehicles from that era that have this common problem (metal actuator looks like it's made out of pot metal, hence why they go out / break).

Im confused because my actuator pin broke exactly like the video, but the part has an instruction manual that has like 12 steps, explaining how you need to have the brass part at a certain angle, and how you need to turn the key and match some lines, and so ma y other steps. But in this video looks like u just put the actuator pin in and thats it. Ive been at it for 2 hours on my 2000 Dodge Neon and just cant seem to get it to work 😡

Not sure about the 12 step process. With the Lock cylinder out that lower portion should go up may need to wiggle the steering wheel if the lock in incorporated. Been years since I done one of these. May need to me turned in a certain position. I just always matched the old position when removed
