hey everyone,

jus curious to see if anyone else have had this problem? when i take the key out of the ignition, most of the time, it doesn't click. like it still thinks the key is in there, i then have to put my key back in and fiddle with it or something and then get it to click. maybe i should take it to the dealer since it's still under warranty?? well i jus wanted to see if other owners have this same thing? thanks

 

 

What do you mean by "click"?
After the key is out, is the engine off? Can you still turn the ignition switch with say, a screwdriver? If the engine shuts off and the ignition switch can't be turned, I don't see what the problem is.

 

Discussed in the "Tell Honda" forum:

Interesting. Thanks for the link. That thread should never have been put in "Tell Honda". That's not what that forum is meant for. It should have been put either here or in UTH.

 

that does NOT sound normal at all.

 

I'm having the same problem on my 05' I'm taking it in next week for service and that is one of the problems I going to have them look at.

 

Hmm.. My '93 Prelude does this also - if you turn the key to the "neutral" position where you can remove it, remove it and open your door, the car will beep the "you've left your keys in" reminder...

If you force it slightly backwards "past" the neutral position and slide it out (or give the ignition switch a sharp tap with your finger), it will click and stop beeping.

Kinda ugly - If you still have a warranty on your car, I'd bring it in.

 

yea, thats' what i meant. sorry xviper for not explaining it not good enough. the engine is off and everything, it jus thinks that the keys are still in it, so it beeps at you when you open the door. yea, i think im gonna have them look at it, thanks everyone!

 

No problem.
I think with all the incidents of this happening, Honda should bring out a TSB on this and take care of it for people. I'm sure they'll know about it soon if not already.
