HELP LOST KEYS!! STEERING WHEEL LOCK
I lost my keys to my 94 Civic...i know how to start the ignition without a key...but i don't know how to disengage the steering wheel locking mech...I've read a few different things but I'm not sure which is correct.
Also it's a 94 DX SHell with a D16Y5 From a 98...which I'm told is VTEC-E....I dont think the correct ECU is in it....Should I just put a P28 ECU In it?....Thanks

Re: HELP LOST KEYS!! STEERING WHEEL LOCK
Well what I did was take off all the covers around the steering wheel, and then on the opposite side where the key goes.....there is the actual ignition switch. A few screws to pop it off, stick a key or a screw driver in and turn the positions just as if the key was in. The only thing was I had to break the steering wheel lock. Theres a brass colored disk looking thing underneath the ignition ( or on top) don't remember. Drilled that with a 1 in drill bit. Using a 3/4 spade bit would probably work better but. Once drilled, inside that cylinder is a spring with a washer/disk. Once a made the hole big enough for the spring to pop out, then i stuck a flat head in and popped the brass colored disk out. In which falls out the washer/disk and unlocks the Wheel lock permanently. **CAUTION** ONLY DO THIS IF YOU INTED TO NOT CARE IF YOUR WHEEL LOCK IS GONE, WHICH WILL MAKE YOUR CAR EASIER TO STEAL. YOU WILL HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE NEW IGNITION CYLINDER, WHICH YOU WOULD HAVE TO DO IN THIS CASE, OR CALL A LOCK SMITH TO TRY AND MAKE YOU A KEY. THIS WASNT THE STOCK IGNITION THAT CAME WITH THE CAR. SO THE VIN NUMBERS DIDN'T MATCH. IT HAD BEEN REPLACED ALREADY ONCE BEFORE

Re: HELP LOST KEYS!! STEERING WHEEL LOCK
The ignition was not the original. So going to dealer with VIN was not an option. This car has been gone and sold for a while. I'm just explaining what you CAN do if you lost your keys...not what you SHOULD do

Re: HELP LOST KEYS!! STEERING WHEEL LOCK
All of these honda keys are some what interchangeable so you should have tried another honda key and wiggled it until it worked.
