Well today I was working and lost my keys so in a heated rage. I grabbed a screw driver out of my tool belt and broke the igntion. Stupid i know. I never stoel a car or started a car like that before I just knew thats how you could start it. So I get it started drive it home and now I cant restart the car. Well I dont want my car to look all ghetto so i want to replace the igntion. How do i go about doin so I tried searching couldnt find much.
Is there a trick to starting the car it has something that turns in the middle and another lever u push over on the right side ne Sequnce of makin it start? Intill its replaced.

 

Remove the connector from the back side of the lock cylinder. You can turn the switch using your key or a flathead.

If you're talking about how to remove the housing from the steering column, you have to remove the shear bolts which are mounting it on. You can try slotting the bolt and removing it with a flathead or cutting the bolt off.

 

or next time, go to honda, give them your VIN number and have them make you a key, lol. good luck man.

 

Do they still able to do this? I didn't think the honda would make a key. What about the door lock cylinders?

 

Yeah, they will, you just need a copy of your title with you.

 

only need proof of insurance and license.

 

Even the door lock cylinders?

 

Door lock cylinders should be the same as your ignition, no? Every Honda I've owned has used the same keys.

 

When I tried to get a key cut from my VIN they said their records only went back to 91 IIRC. Whatever year it was 88 was too old. =C

 

I called a lock smith for my other 2 cars. And Now starting my daily beater with a screw driver

 

Ouch. How about some lotion instead?

 

You're right, but I bought an passenger side door and the cylinder dont match. So I was wondering if I could buy one to match my vin number.

 

what if its a aftermarket ignition cyl?

get ahold of a locksmith and they will remake you a key.
but you couldnt do that...broke the ignition cyl.

and i've never done a lock cyl, so im not sure if you need the key to remove the cylinder.
go to the local parts store, get a cylinder and a haynes manual.

btw try to get a spare key made and put it in that key magnet box and stuff it somewhere where you can get to it under your car

 

good point, i probably should have put that if it's the original ignition then go to honda and get a key cut. and how you know that it is the original is that the key works with the doors and hatch also.

 

Honda can and will cut keys off the VIN number as long as you have proof of ownership of the vehicle. This was done for my 94 Accord. The original key was so worn down it would barely turn the ignition and you had to wiggle the key. Had a new key cut off the VIN and it worked perfectly.

Obviously you would know if it's the original key if it's got the Honda plastic piece still on it and the plastic is black. That's usually a dead giveaway. Usually it was only American manufacturers that used different keys for the doors and ignition. Every Honda uses the same key for both.

 

made an extra key for my 88 crx no problem. i did have to bring the title with me though. i dont see how any honda dealership would have an issue making the key for you.

 

I'll keep this in mind and go to the dealer and shee if they can make me a matching lock clyinder for my pass side door lock.

 

Yes they do in JXN,MS...but alot of crooked things go on here!!

 

JXN, MS? what? I'm lost.

 

haha that sucks yea should have went to honda to make another key

 

Dealer told me that they cant make keys after 10 years

 

I guess it depends on dealers...

 

Im guessing Jackson, Mississippi?

 

Instructions are in the service manual. Order a new key cylinder from Honda, it comes with 3 new Honda keys. About $50 bucks.

This is what I had to do, thanks to a$$hole thieves (they didn't get away with the car).
