Honda Civic 1992: Key not turning

Asked by Warren

The ignition in my 1992 Honda Civic isn't turning. The key fits and moves, but it won't turn it on or even to standby. I have used spray but it didn't help.

What is the best way to fix it?

Try wiggling the steering wheel while you’re trying to turn the key; that might release it. But the ignition switch is probably worn and needs to be replaced.
