This video was a HUGE help and saved me a fortune by not having to pay a mechanic to do this! That said, there are some finer points that should be mentioned. I bought the part for $8.59 on ebay (Micro Switch D2HW-BL251H). You disassemble the console as portrayed in this video, BUT it's A LOT easier if you also partially pull off the side panels on both sides (alongside each seat and the console)- they snap out with tabs. From the passenger side, you'll see a silver bolt that holds a plastic block up against the switch. Loosen that with a Phillips head screwdriver. The switch is held in place by two plastic tabs on the right (mine were painted a fluorescent orange). Take a photo of how the switch is installed. Once you have the switch out, take a photo of how the two wires are oriented. There are three tabs but only two wires. They are soldered on. Cut them off and strip off some wire sheathing. I'm not good a soldering but I watched several videos here and felt confident I could do it. I bought a cheap soldering iron and solder at Harbor Freight for less than $10. I added some solder on the two tabs and tinned the wire and voila! I did it! I snapped the switch back it, tightened the set screw and snapped everything back (after cleaning it all). It looks great and, even better, the key doesn't get stuck in the ignition. All for less than $20. Thank you for this video!

Really helpful video, I just fixed my Camaro with exact same issue, saving a lot of money. Thanks buddy

I watched another video that said that the part that I needed to change was in the column Changed It. Still? Had. The? Problem. I just saw your video and I realized somebody finally knows what they're doing great job thanks.

Thanks for the video! It helped me to repair the same issue on my wife's Camaro. I don't know how you found the part number for the switch, but it did the job. Appreciate your time.

I fixed this same issue for my buddies car (kia I think it was). And it was still intermittent, so as a redundant backup we added a hidden, cheap, little push button switch in parallel with the factory switch, that way if it ever did stop working again, he could just reach down and hold that button and make it work manually. Normally it works fine most of the time, but he said he did have to use it a few times on some really cold days; so that turned out to be a pretty cool fix-- since he already had the little momentary switch laying around.

Thank you, I have this exact issue.

As much as these cars are GM should had had a dammn recall on this mine is doing the same thang yall have a good day

Deozit makes a great contact cleaner to clean this type of contacts.

Great video!

Thank you so much.. it fixed my camaro 😊

Thank you. Awesome video that just doesnt delete a important safety function....

Great job! Thank you!

Thanks for the video! Which cleaner did you use? Is there one you recommend, given the rubber part of the switch was hesitant to use one that may wear the rubber down.

Great video! What’s the part number for the switch ?

Shouldn't this have been recalled by GM? So does the switch need to be replaced or just the contacts cleaned? Thanks for the video.

I'm glad i came across your video. How long will a mechanic take to fix this. I dont have time to do this myself?

Hello, how can I purchase the part from you?

I need my Camaro fix the same thing going on with my’s where are you located at

Unhook the positive on the battery. It will release key.
