CONTACT US

In 2002, the Honda car brand made a major change in its ignition keys and locks. It has moved from the traditional chip wrench with standard cuts to the chip wrench with laser cutter, in other words, high security, in order to improve the safety of their automobiles.

Hondas were reputed to be the most stolen vehicles on the North American continent. Some burglars managed to start the car without the original key in less than a minute.

Thus, this new technology made it possible to increase safety and reduce the risk of theft.

UNPLEASANT CONSEQUENCES OF THE HONDA IGNITION KEY ON IGNITION

Unfortunately, this new technology brings recurring problems that randomly prevent cars from starting.

The most common problems are related to a broken, worn or poor quality mesh spring in the barrel and the progressive wear of the meshes also called throats.

The locksmith will have to disassemble the components in order to have access to the ignition to repair and rest it.

This specific work on the starter takes 2 to 3 hours depending on the conditions of the car and the ambient climate.

COMMON PROBLEMS WITH HONDA IGNITION

COMMON PROBLEMS WITH HONDA IGNITION AND IGNITION KEY

  • The key does not fit well in the ignition
  • The key fits into the barrel, but does not turn
  • The key gets stuck in the lock and the steering wheel stays locked

The problems mentioned above are the most common symptoms encountered on Honda starters since 2002.
In this situation, only a locksmith who has this particular experience will be able to intervene effectively in an emergency. Locksmith Momo, expert in automotive locksmithing, has dealt with many similar cases and intervenes wherever you are. Longueuil, South Shore or Greater Montreal

Here are some temporary solutions to try to move your vehicle to a safe place if it no longer starts normally.

Keep in mind that these solutions are random and not guaranteed, they eventually allow a “last start” and will not avoid the intervention of the car locksmith, because this problem does not depend on the key, but on the barrel, and will recur.

Changing the barrel at the dealership costs more than $750. Momo should not exceed one third of this sum for a guaranteed repair.

HERE ARE THE TEMPORARY STARTUP SOLUTIONS

  • Vibrate the key up and down so that it eventually turns in the barrel.
  • Push on the key gently to bring it into contact
  • Spray a lubricating product (WD-40) into the ignition to facilitate key entry
