RE: 1990 accord ex ignition problem
First off no need to disconnect the battery........Trust me ...
You need a phillip screwdriver to remove the steering wheel covers , both lower and upper,5 or 6 screws,, the switch plugs in the fuse box under dash, left side , unplug the switch, follow the harness,, there are 2 screws you have to remove to separate the electrical part from the mechanical part ,, they are not 8 mm ,, they are either 5 or 6 mm ,,( I believe 6 mm ) you need a 1/4 inch socket and rachet to remove those ..
Once removed, unclip the harness ,, install all in reverse order, make sure to route the harness properly or the steering wheel covers will not fit properly
