my ignition failed to turn anymore which proved to be the key lock goin bad tried replacing witha new one from schucks but everytime we do as it states u can only turn the key from positons 1-3 and not to the off position to remove the key. according to the instructions u put the lock in place without the key til u cant push it in no more. then u insert the key n turn it to the 1 position as u puss on the lock to get there pin to drop in place when it does that u can start the car and put it in position 1 2 or 3 but not into position 0 for shutting it off which requires pushing the key in to goto 0. are we doing something wrong is there a step missing from the instructions? please help

after lots of searchin i read that but seems kind of vague since im just tryin to replace the ignition lock cylinder not the whole unit so i cant say i quite understand that 6 step process.

Are you saying you need to replace the steering lock assembly? If so, maybe this will help:

The problem may be that it's not a Honda part. Sometimes it makes a difference.

no just need to change the lock (ignition key cylinder its a 15 dollar part which when u do as intructed to insert it the key moves from I II or III positions but u cant goto the 0 position to meove the key. so again whtt is being done wrong or is there something else wrong as well

ok gang for anyone wanting to know the solution....... i followed the pkg instructions to install the ignition key cylinder and it still didnt want to turn to the off position so i pusehed a lil harder than normal in on the key while it was in the 1 position and in finall gave in allwing for the key to be turned to the off position. i followed up with testing the new key taking it out etc and it works great! good luck out there
