I own a '94 HB Si. Recently I discovered I can remove the key at any position of the ignition switch. I mean- I can remove the key with the engine running. I'm not dismayed or looking to fix it, I'm just curious if that's the way it's supposed to be.
Thanks!

 

i would say its a flaw. i would see that as a safety concern

 

Broken lock cylinder.

 

No it's not supposed to work that way, but it happens on older cars when the the key and/or cylinder is worn out.

 

I had a 1982 S-10 that was the same way. The key was worn real bad. If you didnt trun it all the way to the lock postion you could start it without the key.

 

I am going through the same problem. As per my mechanic my car is old and now it will give such problems frequently.
