How to Replace the Ignition Switch on a Honda Accord

Model: Honda Accord MK 5 - Years 1993-1998
Part: Key

In this video, see how to replace the ignition switch on a Honda Accord MK5, which has the issue of shutting down randomly. In this case, the problem is the ignition switch, as the key has a lot of play within the ignition barrel, causing the random shut-offs. Go under the dashboard and unscrew the three screws that allow you to remove the steering column cover, and you can see the switch. In some cases, this is secured with rivets, so you will need to drill them out to remove the part and replace it: you can find the part on AliExpress for £13.50.
