Ignition switch "binding"

    Hauled some heavy tile today in the 94 ha3, hit a huge bump pretty hard and when stopped the key was very difficult to get out. I eventually did get it out but now it feels like the cylinder is binding or something is out of alignment.

    1. Has anyone experienced this before.
    2. Does the acty share a cylinder with any other Honda's?
    3. Can an auto locksmith maybe fox this?

    Use some graphite powder oil for keys.
    Did the switch fully go back to off position? There is a solenoid next to the shift handle under the plastic cover, that must click when the shift handle is in P position, then the solenoid releases the key switch and the key can be switched into 0 position and removed.

    Or use the EPC and find the part number for the switch and then google search for the p/n to find out if another model uses the same p/n

    Idk why my signature isn't saving but I have a 5spd.

    The key basically feels.like.something came loose in the cylinder and it's very difficult to turn.
