2006 Honda Civic Ignition Switch Replacement

[@gjtnd88]

instead of the crescent wrench or right angle screw driver, you can use a small socket wrench with a socket the size for your bit.

[@JPOLEN22]

1/4" is pretty standard.

What symptoms would you need to suggest swapping this part? I'm hearing it's mostly the cheap transmitter on the fob that goes out

[@nukem384]

If you're having any type of ignition issues. I usually start with this one cause it's the cheapest if you've verified the battery is still good. If this doesn't fix it, it basically has to be the starter. But the starter on this car is a pretty big PITA. I have a tutorial on that as well if you want to see what I'm talking about.

Are there any symptoms for a bad ignition switch, like buzzing and can this be tested? Does it require key replacement and programming or no? Thx

[@nukem384]

Your first question is definitely a mechanic question. I'm not sure on that. If your car isn't starting, it's usually 1 of 3 things. This switch, the starter itself or the battery. It does not require a re-programmed key because you're changing out the opposite side of the key cylinder.

[@vezlop2956]

Great Vid! My 2008 Honda Civic cranks and starts but as soon as I let fo of the key it dies. About a month ago or so I was going about 75 on the highway and suddenly all of the lights on my dashboard/panel turned on and then turned off and I tried putting gas but nothing, so I slowly pulled over, took the key off and then inserted it once more and it started. Ever since, twice it's given me issues in turning on and today I kept trying to turn it on, and as much as it stays on when I crank it and leave the key in all the way, as soon as I let go of it, the car shuts off. The shop has no idea what it is but I just e-mailed my mechanic to try the ignition switch because they can't figure it out. We'll see what they say. Thanks!

[@nukem384]

Hopefully it does the trick! I would rule out the starter since that's only needed to crank the car over and then it's just there. I think the ignition switch would be your best bet too. Have them check the fuse as well and make sure that's still good too.

This install has nothing to do with the key getting locked. That's the other side. However, my guess is you may have locked the steering wheel messing around in the area. So push the key in hard-ish, and then turn the steering wheel both ways. That should unlock the key and then you should be able to turn it to the on position.

[@FishHeadsIV]

So I'm running into an issue where the car sometimes turns on with the OEM key but shuts off immediately. I thought it might be the fuel pump but that's working. Weirdly enough my aftermarket remote start is the only thing that gets the car started. It will run and drive after the remote start. But not when the key turns it over. Side note I've heard like random grinding noise and my rear brake lights don't turn on unless I hit the brake. Any thoughts?

[@nukem384]

Sounds like you have some issues with that car. I would check your electrical system to be sure. Yeah, that is weird that the remote start works, but stock doesn't. IMO, adding aftermarket parts always makes things more complicated. It could be your key cylinder too, check that as well. That could be the issue. Maybe it's not communicating with the ECU and that's why the car is shutting off. Grinding noise from where? Rear brakes? And what do you mean your brake lights don't turn on unless you hit the brake? Isn't that when they are supposed to turn on? I'm assuming you mean when you flip your headlights on, the tail lights don't light up? And they only light up when you hit the brakes?

[@FishHeadsIV]

@@nukem384 when I turn the lights on for driving at night, the rear lights don't come on unless I hit the brakes. The grinding noise I'm not sure. It almost sounds like the starter but it's brand new and it turns over fine (with the remote start) almost like a grinding metal near the exhaust manifold. But it's weird because it's so inconsistent

[@nukem384]

@@FishHeadsIV The brake light thing. You probably need new bulbs. The tail lights are double filament bulbs. That means that when you turn the headlights on, one filament set turns on (probably busted in your case) and then when you hit the brake pedal, the 2nd filament set turns on until you let off the brake pedal (flashes). Without hearing it or knowing exactly where it's coming from, I'm just going to be guessing. But if it's coming from the exhaust area, it could be one of your exhaust hangers is broken, and the muffler and/or exhaust piping is vibrating against the frame momentarily when you turn the engine over. And it happening inconsistently would support some sort of piping rubbing because the vibration power, if you will, isn't always going to be exactly the same strength.

The electrical system is really tough to diagnose yourself without the right tools. For this car, the starter is terribly hard to install (I have a tutorial on it, so I know). So what I would do is just try the ignition switch since it's a lot cheaper and easier, and if that doesn't fix it, then you'll have to do the starter. At that point, at least you'd know the electrical system will be good for a while.

@@nukem384 do you think if i replace that ignition switch it will fix the issue or is it more than that?

[@nukem384]

@@caitlinohanlan1669 It's probably going to be more than that. When I said electrical, I meant something with the entire system, not just one part. You could give it a try and see since the part isn't super expensive. But if that doesn't fix it, a trip to the mechanic might be in order. The electrical system is a bit complex and unless you know what you're doing, probably best not to try and mess around with it.

Did it and turns out the new part I bought is malfunctioning and now idk what to do

[@nukem384]

Return it and try again with another one?

[@jeffquinones4007]

Or locking pliers

BOTH of those screws are impossible to get to!

[@nukem384]

What could be a little easier is there are screw sockets for a socket wrench you could use for more leverage to unscrew them

[@peterguevara6654]

Anyone have a part number

[@nukem384]

Check the description or (same) link below. The genuine part link has the part number. amzn.to/2MWNuD6

I just changed the alternator last year on my 2008 Honda civic coupe. I’ve been having some scratches noises when I try to start but as I keep messing with it turns over. I just change the starter yesterday which was a pain and it’s still doing that noise when I try to turn car over. Any idea what should I do next?

[@Jonathan-pr1wo]

my car does the same. what was the problem?
