Default 94 Auto Accord ex ignition starter switch bad, but...

Someone has apparently replaced the whole assembly before, but just with something that fit... I ordered a proper switch for a 94 accord, but when I got in there it was totally different. Now I need to match that one but know know what it's from. It's obviously honda because the other end of the harness plugs right into where the proper harness would have. I'm going to try to post pictures. Odd thing is, the key works in all doors also, so whoever changed it before I had it must have changed out the lock cylinders from the same car. Thanks for ANY help!

It might be from a Prelude... that one kind of looks like it.

Not really following the question....still a bit early?

You can replace just the electrical part of the switch if that is the only thing that is "bad"?

Yes, the part currently in the car does not look like how the Honda OEM part for a 94 Accord is.

Thanks, it turns out it wasn't the prelude one either, at least at the harness end, but the ignition end was a perfect match, so I just cut and spliced my old harness. Thanks for the help.
