This 2007 Honda Civic LX has a starting problem. Let’s take a look at it and fix it. Before we throw the old parts in the pile, we can take them apart just for more verification that we fixed the problem.

Looks like a perfectly good anti-theft device to me
These videos are great, but without having to take the vehicle off of the trailer…. well it's just not the same without the scream of impending death. Just saying.
Fortunately with the later cars the whole unit doesn't have to be replaced which means new keys as well. I think you showed us how to swap out the tumblers of the one-unit ignition switch so that the original keys can be used.
Repair is very similar on a 2011 Ford Focus. Actually easier.
And of course the parts store would NEVER make a mistake! ("Of course not" said no one!)
Wish they could all be that easy!
Good one Scott.
Darn you! Thanks to watching these videos, I can no longer tighten any screw, nut, or bolt without saying, "Click."
Great video. Did it smell a bit like a Mustang when you did the olfactory check? 😛
Having several Accords, that sound is very familiar. Since I've had to deal with that issue on every accord over 10 years old. I've taken the ignition switch apart and put a drop of solder in the divot where the sparks from contact points. That will last a few months while I wait for the ignition switch shipped from China on Ebay.
I like it when you do different kinds of videos, but maybe you could diagnose the problem first and then fix it. I don't like this word but I'll try it… PLEASE!
I had the same situation with mine before just replace it and now is better
My guess would have been flied lice…
Mr. Spotty should have helped…
Somebody has long blonde hair. Definitely not yours…
Thanks Scott! I imagine that would be a 200.00 bill at Honda? You make it look so easy. All the best!
I forgot that I replaced that part on the 62k mile 2008 LX I bought 3 years ago, but now I remember. Same symptom. Know what's not fun to replace on these? The starter. Why did they make it so hard? And why did it die at 65k miles?
