I have 92 Civic Si hatch and my ignition lock switch was starting to go bad so I figured I'd go on ahead and swap it out. I got it out and put the new ignition switch in, but the key wouldn't turn. I also realized that the pin that you use to eject the switch didn't come up all the way to the surface. I figured I'd just return it and put the old one back in. Old one won't go back in and one from another hatch I have won't go in. There's a little lever that you're supposed to push in so the switch goes back into place, but the switch won't go back in. It just wiggles up and down. Any ideas on how to solve this issues cause now I'm using a flat head to crank my car?
