Key-cylinder replacement?
Permalink   


So my poor 93 accord (who just rolled 200k last week) has sprouted a new problem: The ingnition switch's key cylinder is locking up.

We've tried both our keys (one is the original key from 1993, the other is a 4 year old key made from the keycode (as opposed to a key copy)) and they both require a lot of (for lack of a better term) "jiggling" to get the cylider to turn. I haven't found much about it online, but I have found:

That replacing the whole assembly (mechanical and electrical portions) will cost $250 or more for parts alone
That to remove the key cylinder, I'll have to bust out my drill or dremel...

I am not looking forward to this... is there any magic fix for a breaking/broken key cylinder? WD40? (WD4000? =) )

I appreciate any help...
