Here is my problem, i have been working on my 94 civic over at my buddies house. He decided to move it one day. Instead of getting the key that i left in the ash tray he busted my ignition. I can not seem to put it back together and get it to work right. My question is is it easier to get another ignition switch or just put a push button start on it?

 

just get another ignition cylinder. dont try to fix it or rekey it. its not that hard.

 

i am going to assume you mean from a junk yard? now on the cylinder, do you have to dremel what looks like rivits?

 

Start by giving your friend a swift kick in the ***.

If damage is limited to the key cylinder itself all you need to do is replace the cylinder, not the whole ign. switch/cylinder housing.

If the housing was also damaged then yes, you will need to dremel/drill out the sheer bolts, [rivets].

Hint, if you go to a bone yard for a new ign. switch housing assembly, [with key] don't forget to get the door key cylinders also, [so you need only carry one key].

Feel free to PM me if you have questions. 94

 

you can usually get away with a chisel and hammer and chisel a slit in the sheer bolt and turn it while hitting the chisel with a hammer
