1991 Honda Civic - Can’t get the key out of the ignition
I can’t get the key out of the ignition in my automatic 1991 Honda
Civic Hatchback. Not temperature related. I can turn it to the left to the I, but not further to the left to the O. When the key is stuck, the gear shift won’t move out of park and the bong bong noise won’t stop. If I wiggle the key, toggle the steering wheel, pound on the dash, etc I can finally get it out. I sprayed some WD40 into the key hole but that didn’t make a big difference. This doesn’t always happen, but enough times that I’m worried they key will get completely stuck and not come out at all.

Thanks. > ================================= A locksmith would hose it with GRAPHITE. The best I've seen is called LockEase and it's hard to find. Small blue aerosol can with a long attachable nozzle. Do all five locks on your Civic while you're at it. On a '91 you are way overdue. You'll have to wipe your keys with a tissue after you 'massage' the stuff in with the key. You won't know it's the same vehicle. 'Curly' |

In Canada, Lock Ease is very easy to find.
