So last night when I went to turn my 99 accord off, nothing happened, it's like I never turned the key. I turned the key back and then off again, no luck. Finally, I turned the key off and attempted to shift and the car immediately shut off. I then turned it on then off and couldn't repeat the problem. *EDIT* This might matter, I am pretty sure the electrical remained on as well
I inherited my accord from my sister a few months back when she got her civic. The ignition on it had failed for her over the summer and honda replaced it as it was a recalled part apparently.
I'm not sure if this could have something to do with it but I'll go ahead and say. I had been changing a blown fuse for my lights and turned on the car from the passenger's seat, normally in the drivers seat I push on the key to turn it off, that's when I ran into the problem, but I did move to the drivers seat and as stated couldn't get the car off until I shifted.
Am really hoping this was all a fluke maybe, as dealing with honda was the biggest pita from what I heard
What do you guys think? Is this a common thing, a fluke, or do I need a new ignition or some other part replaced/checked?
Appreciate any input on this
Thanks!!
