If i'm not mistaken
This is the ignition switch

I couldn't find the part number. But I was able to find the package that has the switch in it. for 90's Honda 35100-S01-A01

I know this is for the US Hondas
But should apply here

Honda TSB Number 02-031

Hope this helps
Give Honda Aus a call and find out if your civic had a recall

Thanks for all the replies guys... Very much appreciated!

I have an EK CXi that I'm wrecking ATM... Would the ignition switch off that suffice for my EM1?

I know that Amant02 says he got it off an EK1 but just double checking

Hit me a PM if you need a hand. You don't live too far from me. See you around all the time.

Put the car into N with the hand brake u
Turn key to POS II and wiggle the key
If the cars lights go off
It could be your ignition switch

When your put your car into POS II you will hear your fuel pump prime
it makes like a 'whiring' noise

What have you done recently to the car mods/repairs?

yeah sounds like an ignition switch to me aswell. If it takes you a few cranks then it'll lead to the switch. had similar problem with another car i had, after a few times it just wouldn't start up anymore. Have a read, quite a common problem with most cars.

When the car dies, are you still able to use your indicators/emergencies/headlights?

Yes I am

Since there is a recall for the issue, go to honda and see if it was done to your car(ask to see it so they dont palm you off or make you pay)

You may just have to pay for labor if it hasn't been done.

Cheers again for the input guys.


Been a bit busy over the last couple of weeks to attend to this issue however, the car is doing it more often now. I noticed that when the car shuts off and I try to restart it, all of my reds come on aside from the engine light... and the car doesn't start up. After a couple of attempts or after a few minutes though, the engine light comes to on when the reds are switched on and its when this occurs that the car fires up again.


Ill be calling Honda asap regarding the recall issue and go from there... I don't mind what it costs to fix it, I just want it fixed.

Update: just spoke to Honda and there have been no recalls on my model; they checked using the VIN number.
