So I have a stock 91 Accord and the key is stuck in the ignition what can be done to get it out? Also will the tumbler still work? Or do I need a whole new ignition?

 

Is it broken off in there, or is the key still fully intact?

 

Its still in there just wont turn all the way back so I can take it out. I tried jiggling the key and stering wheel at the same time with no luck.

 

Is the key bent? Because my key sometimes gets stuck as well because it's bent, usually after unlocking my rear seats due to the lock being a little stiff. Usually i can bend it a bit and get it out, but i'm sure you've tried gettin out a bunch of different ways..haha

 

Ill have to take a look i dont think its bent.....

 

The last time it happened to me I turned to on and off a few times. Cycle key off on position a few times and try pulling out while turning in off position. Its more than likely worn down teeth. Get new key made. As long as the key does not break in the ignition, the cylinder should be fine.

 

Automatic or manual? The auto has a key lock out feature so you can only take the key out while in Park. If it's auto try jiggling the shifter while turning the key. It could also be a problem with the electrical parts in the shifter.

Connecting F and I allows the key to be removed.

 

Bump for the diagram!

 

Just FYI the shifter wasn't all the way engaged lulz thanks for the help

 

That might help bro, haha. Good stuff
