hey anybody else have to replace the switch?WTF cars only 10 yrs old and wont move.MFing imports my 701/2 camaro is 33yrs old and no problem,never had a key related problem with any cars owned and I've owned some shitty cars in my day. Is this common with hondas.BTW 93 del sol

 

I've replaced mine before after a thief broke the ignition switch off. I bought the switch at the dealer for about 100 bucks. The hardest part when installing the switch is the removal of the old one. The switch is clamped around the steering column with two break-a-way bolts. There is no way to remove the bolts with a screw driver or anything because there is no kind of real head to it. So what I did was I took my dremel rotary tool and used a cut off blade to cut through each bolt. There was just enough room to get in between the two clamps. If you have a really small circular cutting tool I suppose you can cut slits in the break-a-way bolt heads but I wasnt able to squeeze my dremel in there. Good Luck...

 

I already fixed it BWTF it cost me $300 at the dearler *************.Yeah I used a cut off whell too ,but I cut the clamping band instead of the bolts.

 

if the lock isnt broke or damaged just replace the electrical portion of the switch..... alot cheaper than a $300 lock assy.

 

No the key wouldn't turn,already put in anyway,just bitch in about it.

 

3bills?? damn, what so special about the del sol ignition, should have only cost you about $110. or did they install it for you???

and the junkyards have them for about $50-75 bucks. with keys then just buy universal knock off bolts at home depot...

i agree i had a 68 dodge charger,, orginal key, never a problem... oh well..
