In this video I'll be showing you how to replace/ install a ignition lock cylinder in 88, 89, 90 and 91 Honda Civic, Civic wagon, Civic hatch and CRX on my 1991 CRX Si.
I'm sorry that the filming is kind of crappy and I dropped it a couple times. I filmed and edited this on my phone and it was cold outside so I kind of rushed it.
I couldn't find a video for this any where and couldn't find any help on forums so I figured since I figured it out I would just make my own.
I really hope this helps you out. Enjoy and thanks for watching.
If this helped you smash that like button (not literally please don't break your phone screen). Leave a comment if you'd like or have any advise or have anything else you need help with and would like me to make a video for.

I struggled for hours trying to put in the new lock cylinder and couldn't do it. Looked up every bit of information on internet I could find. Then I watched this video and learned the trick and putting it in was a snap. Thanks for making this Great Video!!!!!!

@montemichaelson1471 2 года назад

Followed your video instructions and it took me less than 10 minutes and I had completed the replacement. Can't thank you enough. Made it simple and easy..

@sinofcringe Год назад

Great video just did mine right now. If you guys follow these instructions and it still won’t push in try using a pick to hold down the top button while you slide it in. Worked for me.

@Tycrx89 4 года назад

Having the same issue on my 91 crx si. Followed all the instructions, column lock is depressed and cylinder is in position 1 but it still won’t sit in place. It sits 1 click just before it’s supposed to settle. Not sure what’s stopping it. My key turns the ignition tumblr no problem so I don’t think it’s broken. Really don’t want to be that guy with 2 keys, 1 for the door and 1 for the ignition, any ideas?

@mpmattson 2 года назад

Great! My '85 ignition switch is in bad shape after someone tried to steal the car - can't get a key in at all. I've got the cylinder part way out and hopefully that second button under the black part will release the rest of it.

Shit this is awesome lost my keys to my rex on Xmas day omw now to a lock Smith place to remake the keys for it

@matthewsanchez9939 2 года назад

I’m in the same pickle lost key for the ignition. Were you able to get the lock cylinder out to take to the lock smith?

@ianbarber311 5 лет назад

Thanks you for this video, Tyler. It will help me quite a bit. Now for a tough one. The wires with the whit plastic disc that goes on the other end of the cylinder.. someone tried to steal my CRX and broke off the heads of the 2 small screws that hold the wires in place. I have a big zip tie holding it tight so the little "L" shaped piece turns and starts the car. I do need a new cylinder, but need to know how to get the broken off screws out of the housing or change the housing as the wires do not fit tight. Very small and tapping/ rethreading seems like quite a job. Any suggestions? Thanks again, you showed me part of an easy (now) job.

@tylermarmon__92 5 лет назад

Ian Barber check your local harbor freight, I forget what they’re called but they sell screw extractor kits, it’s basically like a reverse drill bit that drills into the bolt part of the screw in reverse until the screw starts to turn out on it’s own. Idk how small the screws your talking about are but I believe that should work

@ianbarber311 5 лет назад

Tyler Marmon thank you, about to go get my cylinder lock and do this. Next stop harbor freight. next I need to see if you or someone has a video of replacing the cam seal on distributor end as I also need to replace my spark plug well o-rings, so with valve rockers out I may as well replace it.

@LunaticLane 7 лет назад

Not related to the ignition cylinder (helpful video btw) is that drink holder fitted into the air vent, I've been thinking where to mount one on my civic

@tylermarmon__92 6 лет назад

Lunatic Lane yes it is. I found a pack of 4 of them at Walmart for cheap, be careful what you put into it though that one ended up breaking pretty easy after a while and spilled my Baja blast all over the place

@salbravo4713 6 лет назад

Question! So I called my local auto parts store, and they have one ignition lock cylinder, but it doesn’t specify if it for a manual, or automatic! Mine is a 5speed , but will it work if it ends up being an ignition cylinder for an automatic ? Thanks

@tylermarmon__92 6 лет назад

salvador J bravo I’m pretty sure the cylinder should be the same. I don’t see why that part would be any different it’s basically just a lock tumbler the controls the ignition

@theslidingdutchman 6 лет назад

I can use my key and start it. But on the ll position my radio and heather stops working. Is that in the ignition as well or behind it.

@FuckPunkers 6 лет назад

My crx takes a few trys to start up, the battery works and everything but when I turn the key, I get nothing but the sound of the fuel pump. It usually takes about 10 turns for it to crank (sometimes it happens on the first), and it cranks over fine. Do you think this is my problem?

@tylermarmon__92 6 лет назад

scoot probably not, this is more so for if your key is messed up, broken or if your key tumbler is messed up. Just because your battery is charged doesn’t necessarily mean your getting spark to the engine, check your plugs, wires and distributor. If all that’s fine start looking for fuel issues. I had an issue kind of similar to that. Even though I could hear my fuel pump it was on its way out and wasn’t sending enough fuel and would take multiply times to finally get it to start. Replaced my fuel pump and never had that issue again.

Jeph Leyba honestly could probably just buy a key uncut, file it down some and get it to turn, that’s why older Honda’s are stolen all the time, it’s stupid easy to. That’s why I put an ignition kill switch in that CRX when I had it

@cammk9415 18 дней назад

@jockellis Год назад

Auto parts store tells me that manual transmission cars require the replacement of the entire assembly. True or false? Or is the actual cylinder different for manual and automatic transmission cars?

@tylermarmon__92 Год назад

On these cars that’s 100% false. This was a manual car in the video. But it might be different on other cars

@jockellis Год назад

@@tylermarmon__92 What Civic do you have? Also, this looks like a job for an electric screwdriver.

@jockellis Год назад

@@tylermarmon__92 I’d forget the pick holding the slide in place and just use my finger. I did this before and got my old cylinder to work. This time I can’t get either to work. As I look down the hole it appears that the long thing in the middle of the cylinder fits into a slot. That is 90 degrees to the right of the top button and puts the key in the third position. To top off my troubles, I’ve got a flat tire that I couldn’t plug and I’m on my wife’s side of the garage.

@tylermarmon__92 4 года назад

If you’re replacing the lock cylinder then I’m assuming you don’t care about the one in there. If that’s the case, on these older Honda’s you can use a shaved key or a butter knife or a screw driver to make it turn. The lack of security in these old Honda lock cylinders is one of the main reasons they’re still one of the top stolen vehicles in the US

@cjbailey7950 3 года назад

That still doesn't work. My key womt turn it. A screwdriver wont turn it. A knife womt turn it. I just can not get it to turn to position 1

@evamay6188 7 лет назад

so I've got a 90honda accord...it stopped catching and we thought it was the distributor which we cleaned and worked for a cpl weeks...then stopped...changes the distributor...didn't fix it...changed the fuel pump (major pia) and then one of the four relays... gonna try replacing the ignition and computer this week. anyone else had non-stop issues?

@tylermarmon__92 7 лет назад

New plugs and wires? So far I've don't just about everything on my crx aside from rebuilding the engine. I did have this issue for a bit and my fuel pump fixed it. Maybe also check your fuel filter, it's fairly cheap (I think mine cost $25) and very easy to do.

@evamay6188 7 лет назад

now I'm not getting power to the fuel pump at all... someone else switched out my distributor and mentioned the gap the arc had to jump seemed wide but that it was making it so it must be the pump but after we changed it and it still didn't start someone else messed with the relay which did get it running but then it stopped every other minute and eventually stopped starting altogether...so frustrating

@evamay6188 7 лет назад

then we replaced that relay and still no start

@tylermarmon__92 7 лет назад

Eva May may be a wiring issue. I know EFs are notorious for the wire harness getting brittle and causing issues.

@tylermarmon__92 7 лет назад

I've never been much of a Honda person but I've leaned a lot from this one and I know I've ran into quite a few issues caused by brittle wire
