you can also take the key switch off and seperate it from the actual switch, then use a screwdriver to turn the switch to power.

guys. thxso much for all the help, yanked the ignition today. first i went to local lock smith no luck matching up so i trucked down to the honda dealer. seems ignition had been switched out at some point, thats why locksmith couldn't match up. part ended up being after market. so i picked up new one for ten bucks less than locksmith wanted to cut another one if he could figure out a match, and that was from the dealer. wow who would have thought. thx again tim
