  Q: How do you disconnect and replace the ignition switch and key lock cylinder on Honda Civic?

  A: Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal and wait at least three minutes before proceeding. Remove the driver's dashboard panel assembly and the steering column covers. For the ignition switch (key type), disconnect the electrical connector from the ignition switch by pulling the release tab, then remove the ignition switch mounting screws and the switch itself. Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring to reconnect the cable to the negative battery terminal and verify the ignition switch operates correctly in all positions. If replacing the Ignition Lock Cylinder, the immobilizer and transmitter must be reprogrammed using the factory scan tool at a dealer service department or qualified repair facility. Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least three minutes before continuing. Remove the steering column covers and dashboard panels, then disconnect the ignition switch electrical connector along with the connectors for the Ignition Lock Cylinder, immobilizer control unit/receiver, and Ignition Lock Cylinder/key light. Remove the ignition switch and the immobilizer unit by disconnecting the immobilizer connector and carefully lifting the tabs. Center-punch the shear-head bolts securing the Ignition Lock Cylinder housing to the steering column, drill holes in the center of each bolt with a 3/16-inch drill bit, and unscrew them with a screw extractor. Remove the Ignition Lock Cylinder assembly from the steering column, verify the steering wheel lock mechanism functions correctly with the ignition key, and tighten the new shear-head bolts until the heads break off. For the ignition switch (push button start system), disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least three minutes before proceeding. Remove the driver's side dash vent trim, dash center pocket, audio/navigation unit, and lower dash trim panels, then remove the instrument cluster display trim panel and disconnect the electrical connector to the ignition push button switch. Turn the instrument cluster display trim cover and remove the screws securing the ignition push button switch to the trim cover, with installation being the reverse of removal.
