Ignition Lock Cylinder Replacement

Dorman 924-894 is a direct replacement ignition lock cylinder for vehicles with a worn or sticking key cylinder.

This ignition lock cylinder is built for select Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, and other GM applications with Passlock Sensor systems.

Key Features

• Direct replacement ignition lock cylinder for primary ignition repair
• Black finish with metal lock components and metal/plastic housing
• Includes wiring harness for the Passlock Sensor application
• Supplied with a template key that must be duplicated with the correct resistance blank
• Cross-references D1456C and 16627393 for the same application

Detailed Description

When the original ignition cylinder wears out, the key can become difficult to insert, turn, or remove. Dorman 924-894 is engineered to restore proper ignition operation without changing the vehicle’s security architecture. It is a practical replacement for select GM cars including the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, Chevrolet Lumina, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Buick Regal, Buick Roadmaster, Chevrolet Caprice, Chevrolet Corvette, Chevrolet Impala, Pontiac Grand Prix, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, Buick Reatta, Buick Riviera, and Oldsmobile Toronado.

This part number, 924-894, is designed for vehicles equipped with a Passlock Sensor. The included template key must be duplicated using the correct resistance blank so the vehicle’s anti-theft system recognizes the new cylinder assembly. For buyers searching for an ignition lock cylinder for a 1990-2002 Chevrolet Camaro or a 1990-2002 Pontiac Firebird, this replacement provides a direct-fit service solution.

What It Helps Fix

• Key that is hard to turn in the ignition
• Ignition cylinder wear that prevents normal start-up
• Sticking or inconsistent key rotation
• Loss of proper ignition lock function from internal wear
• Passlock-related replacement needs after cylinder failure

Installation Notes

Verify vehicle fitment before installation, especially Passlock Sensor requirements and the correct resistance blank for key duplication. The wiring harness is included, but mounting hardware is not included. Because the template key must be duplicated, plan for key cutting and resistance matching before final installation. Confirm the application against the vehicle’s original cylinder and security system before service.

Quality Assurance

Dorman designs replacement ignition components to restore original function and security characteristics on the specified applications. Part number 924-894 is built as a direct replacement for select GM ignition systems and is supported by Dorman’s replacement-part engineering standards.
