@sweetkicker24 We currently do not have a supplier for? this particular part. Thank you for checking out our auto repair channel on YouTube.
what is the price? of a 1995 honda civic ignition switch. (LX)
@sweetkicker24 It could be? that the switch has gone, or is going bad.
If my? ignition is really hard to turn is it because of the ignition switch?
@petepi1981 It could be that some of the electrical connections are still wet. Once everything dries out you should be ok.? Hope this helps.
@1aauto started up a/c n all worked then took? it for a drive and when i hit a bump or went thru puddle it goes out then came right back on then i pulled over began turning the wheel (which makes a grinding noise) back and forth it stayed on,until i put into drive it cut off.took it home cut if off started it up everything was fine again my wiring on underneath the car looks suspect but i don’t know what to look for any pics diagrams for me to go off of
@petepi1981 You may want to check around for a possible loose ground of frayed wire. You may also want to check your fuses and any relays that? might be associated with your accessories.
@1aauto my a/c blower,radio,and windows stop working when i start my car everything works in the on position but when i start it it cuts off it seems to happen when it rains? too can this be a bad ignition switch
@perutnt1 It depends on what the starter is doing. If you try to start the car and it clicks, but the headlights are strong and do not go dim, and everything electrically seems ok with the car, it very well could be a starter problem, especially if when you tap it, it seems to work again. You could make sure that there is power to the solenoid from the battery with a test light. We? carry brand new starters on our website 1aauto.com with free shipping. Hope this helps you out.
My car wouldnt start at times so id hit the starter with a wrench then it would start. so i took the starter out? took it to autozone to get checked ,they said it was working good after doing the test. so i put it back in & now it still has the same problem. but i dont hit the starter anymore. could it be the iignition switch then?
@itzkhak If they’re rivets,? you may have to drill them out and replace them with bolts.
Hey nice video! I have an issue though: What do I do if instead of the 2 8mm bolts that you show? and talk about at around 2:01, I have 2 circular nail heads. I have no idea how to unscrew a screw with a nail head. By “nail head” I mean straight up flat surface that has a circular cross section. So is there a way to take out this special type of screw? Or is there another way to take out the unit. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you!
@misstoochie1 the “S” could quite possibly be a problem with the factory security which will prevent the car starting, basically in most vehicles the key has a set resistance or “ohms” which the car recognizes as a numeric value and tells the? car it isn’t a foreign key and it’s okay to run, common problems are 1. a worn key, ,or 2 . ignition switch. basically your car thinks it is being stolen, more common in chevrolets. good luck!
@misstoochie1? Thanks!!
@misstoochie1 It stands for Transmission Control Unit. I would try the easy things first though like? the battery. Hope this helps.
@1aauto Thanks alot I will get back to you and let you know if that was the problem!! P.S. whats TCU??? lol I’ll bet u can? tell Im a female<—-
@PJON214 You may want to have the alternator tested to make? sure that it’s good, and also check the connections.
@misstoochie1 I did a little research on this one for you and some Honda owners have had luck with changing the battery if it’s old. Others say it could also point to? a TCU issue. If the battery isn’t very old but terminals are? corroded, you may want to clean them up, this may help to resolve the issue. Hope this helps.
Hi. I? have a question..I have a 98 Honda Accord and there is this green light with an “S” in the middle on the dashboard. I don’t know what this means, but it prevents the car from starting; each time this light pops on the car shuts off?? Do u have a diagnosis for this? Is it the ignition or a computer problem? It makes the noise as if its going to crank but it never does unless the lights goes off then it’ll crank then..
Thanks for the great video – I just replaced the ignition switch in my ’95 Accord V6 and she’s? happy now. I will remember 1A Auto next time I buy parts online! Just noting that my car had the shear bolts holding the ignition assembly to the column – which really were not troublesome to remove and re-install, using a small punch and hammer.
my car? wouldnt start, not even cranking. What happen was i took out the alternator and put it back. After putting it back, it wouldnt start. What? might be the problem, the car was working fine before that. Thanks
@trillwill07 They are called shear bolts the bolts in the video weren’t installed properly you are supposed to turn them until the heads twist off leaving what you have two flat round heads. To remove them get an awl put it on an angle and tap? it with a hammer to spin the bolts out.
Check my channel for a video on removing the shear bolts out with an awl.
Ok One Problem I have bolts with no heads. The are flat? How to remove these
Thanks for another great video. I have always enjoyed the high quality of your video. Knowing how to replace a part myself is good knowledge to have. I was wondering if you can provide the reason/diagnostic behind the replacement. Knowing why and when to replace something makes me a mechanic,? not just a part replacer. Thanks for all the great videos.
@hendrixrussell Did you ever figure-out how to? get the covering off?? I plan to get to work on mine today and I thought that it would be as easy as the one in the video until I read your post. We have the same model and I really need some help before I get started on it because I don’t even want to bother with it if it’s going to be a total pain in the a**. Any help that you or anyone else can give me ASAP would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
