How to Make a Car Ignition Key
Making a car ignition key is not difficult, but it does require some assembly. You will need:
-A pair of pliers
-A small screwdriver
-An assistant
-The key to your car
1. Remove the trim around the keyhole on your car’s door. This is usually done by prying off a few plastic pieces with a small screwdriver. Don’t lose these!
2. Locate the key switch inside the car and unscrew it with the pliers. Make sure to keep the wires attached to it!
3. Take the screws from the key switch and put them in a small screwdriver or piece of wire so that they can be used as spares if needed. If you don’t have any spare screws, you can use a toothpick instead.
4. Insert one end of the wire into one of the screw holes on the key switch and screw it in until it’s snug (it should just touch). Do this for both screws.
5.Insert the other end of the wire into one of the terminals on your battery (usually marked “+” or “-“). Strip about 1/2 inch off each end of each wire so that they are long enough
Tips for Making a Perfect Key

2. Turn the key all the way to the “on” position and hold it there for about 10 seconds.
3. Next, insert the key into the ignition switch, hold it in for 1-2 seconds and turn it all the way to “off”.
4. Replace the battery and turn on the car by turning on the key all the way to “on”.
