Honda Civic 1996 - Ignition switch problem - can't put the switch back to zero (0)

[juneym]

Hello tsikoteers!

I have a problem with the ignition switch problem of my Honda Civic 96. Following is the summary

• I can start the car.
• I can drive the car.
• I can still pull the key out o the ignition switch key hole (nasa "I") nga lang naka-point yung part of the key.
• The problem is, I can't move the key-hole back to zero (0) to totally turn cut some of the electrical circuits (...?). Matigas na siya..

Following is the actual position ngayon na naka-off siya.


I removed the battery connector para maiwasan na ma-discharge. I already tried spraying the key hole with WD40 but to no avail.


Any ideas? Any idea how much it would cost me to repair or replace this part?


Thank you!

Sir, matagal na ba sayo yung kotse?

nagagawa mo naman ba yung nasa top part ng picture mo?
yung PUSH.

yun ba yung matigas na? hindi mo na ma push?

I've been driving the car for almost 4 years already.

I can still PUSH but can't rotate counter-clockwise so hindi umaabot ang susi sa zero.
Thankfully, I can still pull the key kahit nasa "I" siya... which I think in newer car hindi pwede itong gawin.

Still, hassle because I worry na baka ma-discharge and battery ko while in a mall, etc.

afaik, maski lumang kotse hindi dapat nahuhugot yung key hanggang wala sa "0",
pacheck up mo muna sa casa for proper diagnosis, bubuksan nila siguro yan,
and more likely there is something there na laspag na, baka replacement of a part,
pero kung sweswertehin, pwedeng cleaning lang ang katapat. goodluck!

Pwede kaya ito sa non-CASA auto shops or is it safe kung sa CASA mismo?

[OTEP]

Pwede naman sir. Alam ko si jemson and friends nababaklas iyan. May thread po sila sa electrical forums natin

Sa Evangelista Makati po nagagawa ang ganyan problema. Just look for the locksmith when you are in the area. Malapit sa Go Mags yun katapat nang maliit na Fire station/PNP post to be more exact.. Mention that you are having problems with the key cylinder barrel of your ignition switch.

hth, good luck!

Nangyari na din sakin na dati -- nabunot ko yung susi habang umaandar ang makina.
Nai-pu-push ko siya pero ayaw mapihit to zero.

Sana hindi ganun kalaki if replacement kase mukhang new keys kapag replacement right?
