2001 Tacoma ignition switch issue

Helping a buddy with a 2001 4WD 4 cylinder auto, his ignition key is not working right, it needs a new lock cylinder. Any recommendations? Rock Auto?

Thanks,
Don

 

I know what I would do take it to my Lock Smith have the cylinder rebuilt maybe a new key as well.

Unless you plan on a set that has all the cylinders the ignition 2 doors and the fuel .

It sucks when you need 3 keys for one vehicle.

 

Would only need 2, the old one will fit the doors and gas cap. Might be a good idea to see if a local locksmith can rekey the new cylinder.

 

Re Keying a new cylinder is the same as rebuilding your old one.

The same new parts will be installed.

Best of luck

 

I went with one of these:

$36 Well Auto OE Type TR47 Key Ignition Lock Cylinder -Tumbler with Key Compatible With 1995-2003 Toyota Tacoma 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 Toyota 4Runner US-263L 69057-35070 69057-34010;93-98 T100

And then had a locksmith rekey the door locks to match. It was like $50 for the rekey.

 

Take all your cylinders off the truck, take it to a locksmith to have them all rekeyed.
