Please. I lost my car keys and I can't afford to have one made. I bought an ignition ad can't get the old one out. Please help me.

Go to a Honda dealer with your registration and license. They can make you a key for less than you paid for that switch. Return the switch for a refund.

He is right about the dealership, but if you still want that info:

Disconnect the negative battery cable. If so equipped, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).

On 1988-91 Preludes and 1990-93 Accords, remove the steering wheel.

On 1992-95 Preludes, remove the dashboard lower cover/knee bolster and left kick panel.

Remove the steering column covers.

Unplug the ignition switch connector.

Insert the key and turn it to the O position.

If present, remove the tape on the switch wires.

On 1992-95 Preludes remove the screw securing the switch cover, then remove the cover.

Remove the two screws securing the switch, then remove the switch.


The switch is secured by two screws
