    Ignition switch problem?

    I keep having this issue where the car refuses to start. I thought it was many things and tried to swap parts out and waste my money. I think I finally narrowed it down to an ignition issue.

    The car starts 20 times and will leave me stranded once periodically.

    Today I was stuck at the Burger King Parking lot, LOL

    After much frustration, I hit under the steering column near the ignition switch and it started right up.

    so I already was leaning towards this but it seems me hitting it and then it working confirmed the culprit?

    it probably isn't the switch itself, rather loose wiring or connection.

    Don't know how to remove the switch to check it.

        now I know why it started once when I jiggles some wires near the fuse panel, the isnition connects to that point. Makes sense.

          it could also be the main relay if you've never changed that part out. It also sits under the dash, so you could just be banging that instead of the ignition switch....thus making it fire.

          There's a DIY that is as simple as re-soldering connections in it and it'll work again.

              yeah accords are notorious for their ign switch problems, to remove the swith you need to take the cover on the column and lower the wheel you will see the swith at the bottom side, the switch itself has about three screws. Two of them you will need to drill the top off, or loosen by using a screw driver and hammer and hitting it at an angle. Good luck but remember to disconnect the battery and if possible take the part with you to the parts store to compare since they like t give wrong parts and not refund.
