Engine cranks but does not start after replacing the ignition lock cylinder?

Hi,

If you replaced the key cylinder, that means you have a new key. If it isn't programmed to be recognized, the engine won't start. See pic 1 below.

In this case, either the vehicle's immobilizer needs to be programmed to recognize the new key. That will require either a locksmith or a dealership.

Let me know if the programming has been done or not.

Take care,

Joe

No, it hasn’t, I did it myself.

Hi,

That is the issue. Are you able to get it taken care of? Also, just FYI, it is usually less expensive to have it done by a locksmith, but you would need to check where you are located.

Let me know.

Joe
