1990 EF Honda Civic Hatchback (Automatic: I know Imma get hated on haha)

Problem: Key not turning - stuck between position 0 and position 1
Position 0 nothing,
Position 1 Car alerts key is still in ignition cylinder
Position 2 Turns on electrical
Position 3/4 Engine Cranks - Starts

It is definitely not a locked steering wheel, wheel is not locked, and even tried moving it while turning the key.
I have a main key - didn't turn on
I used my spare key - no luck

I was thinking that I need to change the ignition cylinder, but I just replaced about 2 years ago, I don't know how likely that the ignition cylinder is in the bad.

Other symptoms noticed (possibly unrelated?)
When Hazard is turned on, car honks twice, and temperature gauge goes up (car is not turned on, only the Hazards are pressed) - suspected short circuit in the gauge cluster

Any suggestions? Fixes that I could do? If possible, I don't want to replace the ignition cylinder, due to getting an extra key that's different from the whole car

How likely does a short circuit / electrical problem effect the ignition lock/cylinder.

What do you guys think? Any suggestion helps!

Thanks!

 

Maybe try dry graphite, and see if you can get it in and around the key, or maybe try wd-40 or the white lithium grease and see if you can loosen it up. the latter may not be good for electrics, but if you are stuck and need it out, that might work. Also most lock smiths can verify/check rekey the cylinder to your existing key. I've been there. Hope this helps.

 

Im going to guess they Key interlock solenoid not releasing or possibly neutral safety switch?
