This video saved me. The screw on my key loosened enough for the chip to fall out while cleaning my car in the driveway. I Googled my car symptoms and that brought me here. I'm glad you showed what the chip looked like because I found mine soon afterwards and car started immediately after reinstalling back into my key. Thanks!

Thanks a lot Hektor. You help me solve my wife's immobilizer problem because she lost the chip when the battery was being changed. We had to purchase another one, but at least its up and running again... I checked fuses, the battery, sp. plugs for spark, fuel rail for fuel and the fuel pump relay. And it was the chip... Oh Dios Mío, Tu Eres El HOMBRE!!!

This video saved me 100+ dollars. I have 2 Honda accord keys, I replaced the key fob and the car would not start. Spent so much time trying to figure out what was the issue and you answered it. Really appreciate.

Thanks so much Hektor!!! This was perfect. My key fell apart but I missed to notice/put the transponder. Just went back to the ground to search for the tiny black rubber piece, found it among some driveway rocks, put it back together inside the key and our 2005 Pilot started with no problem at all! (Of course before knowing this I was going crazy checking the battery, putting more gas to possibly bring mechanic to check pump, etc.) THANKS!!! BLESSINGS.

Hektor you are truly the homie! Car battery died and then the key broke trying to turn the ignition. I jumped the battery and car cranked but wouldn’t fire. Watched your video and put the key back together with the transponder and it worked! Saved me hundreds of dollars from getting a diagnosis. The CRV I bought for $3000 is still going strong! Thanks a bunch!

Thanks Hector! Key fell apart on my son and he missed the chip. Found it on the back porch and we’re back in business!!

You just saved my life, I changed the case and didn't realize that the chip was in there... Thank you for the video!

Great job Hector. You make everything look easy. -Stephen, Ohio

Thank you Hector, you saved me a big headache with this video!

This actually just happened to me an hour ago when I stopped for gas. Couldn’t figure it out. Checked all the fuses, the ignition. Nothing was making sense. My key broke earlier in the day and I just kind of put it together half assed. It started no problem when I first put it back together. The only thing was it was apart when I tried to start it quick to leave the gas pumps. That was my failure. So much thanks for this video cause you saved our butts! I put the key kind of back together and it fired right up.

Omg thank you! I changed the cover on my Honda key and the car wouldn’t start either and it’s been sitting in my drive for weeks waiting to tow it to the mechanic but I decided use KZfaq and I can’t believe the solution was so simple. Thanks

You're a life saver. Thank you my brotha!!!!!👊💙💯

Dude you're the man...gj. I got same issue today....broke key case. Drove to the market and no start without case.

Ehh Hector thanks for sharing this video bro..my mother in laws crv was doing exactly this and found out the spare key she was trying to use Lost the programming some how!! Got her other key and instantly green key disappeared off dash and it fired right up!! Glad it was not fuel pump…thanks Hector!

Great job my guy always very helpful!!!

Thank you soo much bro really i appreciate....from 6 pm to 3 am i was check everything but no use i saw your video and after that i found the small piece thank god

I wanna say thank you!! Luckily I didn't throw out my old case!! The transponder was right there!!!

Saved a lot of time and money. Thanks!

You're the best Hector! I wish you were local.

I opened mine to change battery. And i saw the the black piece abd thought nothing of it. Si its the chip for car recognition. Wow. Well done. An important little thing.

Exactly what happened to me today. I noticed the tiny chip in the housing but didn't swap it over. It doesn't look like a chip. Tiny! It's in the trash in my girlfriends bathroom. I sent her a text saying not to throw her trash out. Lol. Wish me luck. Thanks for the video! I have an 05 pilot by the way.

What did the locksmith charge for the reprogram? Anything close to the $200 plus the stealerships charge in CA??

Thank you so much for this video. You saved me 😊

You are the men bro 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

thank you Hektor!!! you nailed it

thank you for showing me this problem i had the same issue

I’ve missed you boo 😢

Great video Customer had same problem

I'm having the same problem .....put after seeing your video ...I can fix the problem....thanks again

Good job, you just save my life

thank u great video like always

I fixed my key with some jd weld doesn’t look pretty but it works!

Thank you very much!!!!!!!

If you're still around, id like to ask you about my 1st gen CR-V. Maybe you could shed some light. Motor swap. No check engine light. Running great. Cold snap/won't start. Getting air/fuel, fire/compression. Before the motor swap, I DID replace cap and rotor. Any ideas? It got negative degrees out and just wouldn't fire up. But get this! I pulled the fuel rail off to check brand new injectors and it fired and briefly ran with the fuel rail off! Starting fluid doesn't do anything. Im wondering if I got some bad fuel and it's just too cold to combust before it's flooding it? Idk. It cranks strong and battery is good.

Hector 😪 mine won’t crank like that it’s a silent crank. 2003 crv the battery is good. Next is starter I’m moving towards. Door open doesn’t make that noise either.

the key fab is missing the chip. It happened to me, learned the hard way since I threw the original fob in the trash with the chip in it!

Thanks for the video bro it really helped. Im lucky I didn’t throw away my old key fob and I did notice that chip thingy. I got one question though, since the old key fob thing has a slot for the chip but the knew one doesn’t. Do I just put the chip thing in there and call it good or what do I do? Looking forward on your reply. Thanks again for the video bro it really helped 😎👍🏻

Literally just had the exact same issue. Customer claimed "I parked my car, now it won't start". Immediately suspicious of the fob covered in blue painters tape.... transponder missing from inside fob!

Hi Hope you can help me. I went to jump start my 2004 CRV (Running Jeep Liberty to CRV) the problem was I got the Positive & negative wrong on the CRV & I tried to start it several times before I realized my mistake. I bought a new battery & installed now the CRV cranks but won't start. I pulled every fuse under dash & under the hood not a single one was blown. Not even the 100 amp battery fuse. What should I check next? Do you have any idea what could be wrong? Thank you.

So I replaced the whole ignition assembly and it came with a new key, what should I try? Just metal no chips or anything.

💪🏻👍🏻🍻 this help me out thanks

My 09 civic has the chip inside the key fob lock/unlock. Honda uses both systems in the older gen cars. Just fyi for anyone that changes keys on them.

Donde estas jalando bro beside side jobs?

Bro a question how do you fix the gas needle gauge I was checking something on the cruster and ending up with the needle fell out from the gauge I out it back but it won’t work it work but it’s not even accurate at all

when you open the key i notes right way no chip inside the case.

1:28 my grandfather leaving the driveway

Cause the chip in the fob? Mine did that.

He threw out in the garbage the security chip, the little piece of device which allows the car to start.

You could just read the owners manual it explains it clear as day :)

I have my chip but it still won’t start but i have the key emblem blinking where do i go now?

They forget remove the chip just order a Honda id46 chip and program it with Autel easy money

a very very reliable vehicle with a very unreliable key setup. I just bought a 2008 CR-V with 1 good key and 1 broken one, which dealer wants $225 CAD to replace it. I will try to fix it by myself getting help from KZfaq University👍. KZfaq University have saved me thousands of dollars.

Thank you so much problem solved that's what happened to me the battery died opened the key changed the battery car refuse to start anymore

This Guy Save My Ass. Yep i have Duplicate Key Lmao.

Mine doesn’t blink key but not starting

Hi, thanks for the video ^. my problem is i tried to program a new key with a scanner tool after i had a locksmith duplicate the original, without success. the key fob was bought with an OEM designation. the chip id is the same as the original. the remote buttons are working fine. after programming/registering the key with the scanner the green key light won’t stop flashing. The key will crank the engine but won’t start. The locksmith who programmed the key said there is something wrong with my car immobilizer. Do u know why the new key can’t be programmed? Thought i asked u before bringing it to the dealer. this is the 2010 honda crosstour EXL model

My 07 Honda Fit Died while driving yesterday and here's how it went down i was driving on 285 then I got on to my road and turned into my driveway and bam key fell apart and started flashing the green key light i was lucky enough that it died at the tip of the driveway. So I take the keys out and i ask my mom for her set of keys to my car wouldn't start then tried my dad's set wouldn't start. So i don't know

I got a Honda Civic 2001-2002 and this started for me about month ago. Worked just fina got home 30 minutes later dead. I noticed electric locks and interior didnt went on when i entered, but didnt bother. THen noticed the flashing key. Its been in the garage now for over a month, they ordered a second hand complete kit, so immobilizer ecu and keys. Still nothing?!?! I tried explaining them that i find it strange that the doorlocks and interior lights also went dead. Those are not connected to the immobilizer i believe. Hope someone has an idea or experience with this.

Friend caught a thief running away with a "black box" so that car doesn't start even with key. What is that black box and how does a dealer fix it?

Transponder is missing.

I had a guy asked me to fix his car once 2005 pilot, I had the same issue I tried to check fuses relays and everything I could find to stop that key from flashing. I asked the owner, have you changed your key? he said no, after more research and few hours into this and few times of me asking him. he got frustrated and told me. Bro! I already told you I haven't changed the key why do you keep asking me!!? then I said it all looks good the only thing wrong I see is that, either the key is a different key, as an unprogrammed spare key or a unprogrammed key. and he said. its the same key I just replaced the casing but its the same key. to his luck he was able to go trash digging and he found the broken piece I had the ignition on ans as he got to the door the key stopped blinking. he said I found it!, I replied I know! he said how? I replied watch this! I cranked the car and it started right up! the piece of plastic wasn't even close to the ignition to make it start. but it started right up!

He shudda notice the chip was missing

My crv won't start, the engine light wont come on

This video was very very very very helpful save me from buy a new car

Car is a Honda 2020 SUV.

2:14 Come on! When you put this key apart, there was no chip in the casing! It's obvious the guy didn't know how to transfer a key to the other case! Get a new chip, program it and be done with it already! 8:59 It's not only on hondas, It's on every car with immobilizer.

Diaged a crank no start on a civic today let's just say hondas don't like diesel fuel

Chip is missing

I was driving and my 2005 just died and sound like fhis

Thanks! But what a terrible design by Honda!
