wooh had a super fun filled morning, i was on the highway and all of a sudden the car dies.... seat belt goes forward so i thought maybe battery connection everythings connected so i try and start it it started then dies and seat belt goes back forward so i figured it was my Ingition switch, and it was lol so i drove 30 miles holding the key in the on position tell i got home to tear it appart then upon gettng the colum appart saw the bolts that held in on the column and was like wtf called acura got the tip you use a hammer and a chizzle(i used a flat head) so i took it appart it was 105 for a new switch and 280 to install, since i dont got that money atm so i tore it down and cleaned off all the points put it back together and its running like a champ lol just thought i would share lol acura said it would also take an hour and a half took me 20 mins when i got home to figure it out and fix, best way to save money is to do it yourself ^^

The fun drive home thank god my wife was there to shift for me



The pesty bolts


cleaned and reassembled
