Rocket Scientist my daughter has called me 3 times stuck saying the hummer won’t start and the key is stuck and she can’t get it out, then 5 minutes later it cranks , is this the same issue you guys are having or is it turning over but not starting?

Its the connector at the end of the cylinder that gets corroded , take it apart and spray it with contact cleaner . I had this proplem for years and i did a deep dive and found the solution. 7 years later all good.

no kidding? I'll definitely try that. I guess I should have used the KISS method... Keep It Simple Stupid.

@billynicgorski1 3 жыл бұрын

3 screws under the steering wheel .. 2 screws holding the sensor on .. turn the key and it pops out .. then you have access to the male/female connector and just spray it with electrical cleaner . That is where the corrosion lies that make it seems someone is stealing your H3 .. no need to replace anything.. 🙌🏻

The H3 lock out starts by using the acc to listen to the radio or whatever you do with the switch on that position. It happened to me after work and at lunch time I listened to the radio. After work I just had a big nice ride just turning over and not cranking. So appreciative of folks like you who share for people like me.

Hi, everybody.Fresh experience to share. It happened to me, yesterday, 2006 Hummer H3. The battery went low, could not unlock with the fob. Unlocked with the key. Changed the battery, the alarm went off. Tried to start, no luck. So, I disconnected the battery and left overnight. Meanwhile, I found this video and got aware of the issue, for which I am immensely obliged to the author. Was prepared to do the 10 min-10 seconds trick. Next morning, I reconnected the battery and it started right away.Thanks again for sharing experience!Val

I am sorry I am so late on this, but I too have had this dreaded problem. The dealer changed out the entire lock and sensor (one unit) and it worked for years. Now it is acting up once again and the dealer stated the three second from ON to START and it does work just as you stated. He claimed all GM dealers know this simple trick. Your aging assumptions on stuff is correct and those rotating magnets in the cylinder get weak over time and don't their thing either. I won't hold my breath on a recall

I think it may take a little bit of time(4-5) seconds, for the computer to recognize the key/fob. If you are in a hurry and slam the key in and crank, it goes into failsafe mode and shuts off the fuel pump. I use this start procedure every time and have not had one bit of problem.

Hello. My 2006 H3 began not starting, but cranked over about a year ago. Only happened a few times. Now I never know if it will start. Tried a 100 different things. There is no security code showing on the dash but I sure as heck am giving this a try. Quite embarassing when at the gas pump and have to stay an extra 20 minutes I thought. I will try the ten minute thing if this doesn't work. TKS.

Its a sensor in the column that detects the key. Its like an old school hall effect sensor. Over time it gets out of tolerance and sends wacky signals.. I just replaced the sensor and it hasn't done it since. Super easy job too. Look that one up.

I have also cleaned the passlock electronic piece in the cylinder lock per another KZfaqr. I think I'm going to buy the $47 part on Amazon and only replace the electronic component.

Sometimes it takes three times, but if I hear three beeps it has all ways started.
