Here's another comment years later for ya. I was on my way home from work and stopped by the store for the wife. Came out and the key would not turn. Now being a Jeep owner, I have a set of metric hammers in the vehicle. This video got me right back on the road and then a few days later, walked me through replacing the cylinder. Thank you!

I took the covers off and sprayed the top and inside of the cylinder with WD-40 and it worked immediately. Didn't need to break anything! Probably the first lubrication for the cylinder since it rolled off the factory floor.

Excellent tutorial. I used your video to replace the key cylinder in my 2002 Jeep Liberty and it came out and went in without a hitch. I bought the Dorman Ignition Lock Cylinder that rekeys the cylinder to use the original Jeep key. It was simple to rekey and the entire install took me less than 10 mins.

Great video, thanks! I bought a new ignition lock from Addvance Auto parts and rekeyed it. To my original key. Done. I was wondering what caused this problem, and determined that it had to be that the side bar was not going into the notches on the wafers (you might call them "tumblers"). So while the lock core was out of the cylinder, I put the key into the lock core and sure enough, the side bar was not seating. I removed all the wafers and cleaned everthing thoroughly. When I reassembled the lock it worked perfectly. Still, it was worth the time and money to learn something new! Not sorry that I replaced the lock. Peace of mind. 8~)

Leo gz You can get them at the JEEP dealer or if you have a Napa store in your area? Also advance auto and oreilly’s usually carries them also. Just remember if you have a security system on your vehicle that uses a transponder on the ignition switch you will need to have it programmed or it will not read the new key. If you don’t have a transponder just slap the new one in and rock on

You can buy any lock cylinder and it will come with new keys. The only thing is if you have a factory alarm system with a transponder around your ignition switch you’ll need to get it reprogrammed by the dealer or have a locksmith come to your house that does programming. I use my snap on scanner to do the programming so I f you know any alto techs that have that capability they can do it as well. If you don’t have a transponder just put the switch in and you’ll be on your way.

Most of the local shops here have recommended a locksmith to reinstall the new key cylinder, but I would rather try myself cause the only way to learn is hands on (with a little advice from you videos) would it cool the skim if I were to duct tape the chip end of my key inside the halo then connected a ground wire to the metal end then connected my wires back but left in unattached to the mount just tucked and tied up underneath the steering column??

@@gregorystandefer9568, I appreciate the fact you’re trying to save money and that’s what my goal is for people to do, you can try to drill the removal tab or use some sort of dremell tool (I personally drill them out) and you can replace the cylinder yourself. You can’t bypass the sensor, there’s way too many things that go into a factory security system and it will just give you problems when you don’t have the time to deal with it so I recommend just fixing it properly. I normally re-code these when I’m done because I have the scanners to do it, but unfortunately you’ll need to have your dealer do it or call a locksmith to your house. Either way it’s not going to be cheap. Sorry to say. Before you drill try to spray a lubricant in the cylinder. Wd40 or graphite and keep tapping on it. By the way make sure your steering wheel moves back and forth freely from side to side. Sometimes when you turn into a parking spot and the steering wheel tries to rerun back it will lock and put pressure on the steering column and the key will never turn. So make sure the steering wheel moves with no pressure on it. Good luck. Hope it helps
