So my car got broken into, but the thief was unable to get my car started. He decided to leave me with a fucked up ignition, so I need a new one.

Based on this diagram:
http://www.hondaautomotivepart...WITCH

Which is what I need?

Based on the diagram, it appears that part #001 includes ALL the locks, the ignition, and new keys, and #002 is just the ignition and keys.

However, there are two parts listed below for both #001 and #002

So what am I getting with each part number?

My "educated" guess is that:
23497 - all locks and ignition
23496 - all locks and ignition and keys
20707/20706 - Just ignition and keys?

I would call but they are closed until monday, and I need this information to negotiate with a local stealership who is open on weekends.

i say just get number 2 .. which will run about 100.00 and you can put the old cylinder back in the new ignition housing.

that way you have all the same key and your just getting a new housing which he broke off the steering column..

and to take the cylinder out fromt he housing.... put the key in and turn it once then you will see a little tab on the top , push that in and pull out the key cylinder , then slap the new one it.... done..

its a good thing they did not get your car started...

i would much rather be left with repairing my steering column rather then the whole car...
good luck with the repairs man...

Dont forget about the tamper-proof torque screw holding the cylinder to the housing; you'll need a special bit to get it out. It's not as simple as just pushing that pin in. Also - dont pull the cylinder out too fast or you wont be able to see how to put it back in. It's kinda tricky and/or annoying. I was able to do it though, kept my same key

So have you driven the car yet?

Both times my ex's car was stolen i had to replace the steering column too. Not that the wheel won't turn but the shaft is bent and when you turn the wheel you can feel how it f*&&^ up.

To break the ignition off they use a crowbar and pry against column and your ignition till it breaks.

Is there different ignition styles in the years between 92-95? I pulled a column fron the junkyard and it doesnt have the 6 point hex key and I believe there is more electrical connections on the housing that my 95 EX coupe??

Any info would be much appreciated.
