Hi all, I have a 2006 Civic and the key doesn't want to turn. Seems to be pretty jammed.. and i've tried turning the wheel. I think what I should do is get a ignition from a wreckers because buying new would cost me $500 plus about 2 hours labour. To save money I'm going to try and take it out myself, anybody else done this before? Is it anything like 1999 Honda Civic ignition?

 

May seem like a silly question but anyway!
Do you have another key for the car? Could it be the key rather than the ignition barrell? Do you use the same key to open the car as you do to start? Just thought may be worth getting a key cut or trying another if you have one, instead of going to all the trouble of changing the ignition barrell. . . .

 

did you hold brake in? pull shifter down to 1 then back up to park, and wiggle steering wheel while trying to turn key, also check your brake fluid levels

 

in response to both comments above, i have two keys both do not work, the car is 5spd, the only thing i didnt check is brake fluid levels but i'll check that right away if you think that might be a problem, thanks for your help!

 

yes i have two keys and niether work.
thanks!
