Canon 18-55mm Lens Autofocus Problem Easy DIY Repair (COMPLETE)

Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm 3.5-5.6 IS Autofocus not working problem DIY repair

If you're looking to fix your lens but you want to save money from bringing it to a professional repair, you can actually repair it by yourself. You only need a correct tools and patience. Good luck!

The good thing about this is that the replacement flex cable or gears are so cheap.

I got the autofocus flex cable here (Philippines): https://tinyurl.com/yxen2d9b

If you've set the correct camera settings and the autofocus isn't working, there should only be two reasons why.

When i set the switch to manual and I manually adjust the rotating manual ring, the focus works, but when I set the swich to AF and i half-press the shutter button, nothing happens.

Early indication is, because the manual focus works, then the gear should be in good working condition. Because if the gears are bad, the manual ring should be stock or the manual focus won't work at all. But since it does, it should not be because of the gear.

The two reasons why your lens isn't autofocusing:
It is because of the broken gear
or
It is because of the broken autofocus flex cable
