ignition switch

[91 accordlx]

so i put my key in the ignition switch and the key does not unlock the switch. i know it is the right key because ive been using the same key for years is it that the lock is messed up? and another thing does honda sell them new with keys an everything?

help i know it sounds like a stupid question but i need suggestions

if your wheels are not pointed straight it is probably causing the steering column lock to take affect. i would suggest turning the wheel as much as you can with your left hand and while moving the wheel around try to turn the key. this happened to me once and it freaked me out a little. but after messing with it for a minute the key turned and i have not had the problem since.


if for some reason you cant get the key to turn yes honda does sell new lock cylinder with new keys. if you have the same key for your ignition and doors you will either have to have seperate keys or install all new locks which will probably be very expensive. also you can just remove the key cylinder and use a small flathead screwdriver, but this will make your car very easy to steal if someone notices.

a worn down key can cause that to happen as well you can get a key made with the vin # at honda for like $5 I did it for mine goodluck
