Thanks again very much
Yes, I agree and I know about the fuel door lock as I tried it the other day just for kicks with another key I have that is thin like the original Honda key and as you mentioned, it is a pseudo lock. That is a neat bit of info on the seat lock also as I was telling my son that I will still have to use the original key to open the seat. Not a real big deal, but a little of a pain just the same. Thanks for that tip. The ignition switch I order was only 26 bucks and comes with two keys. Seems like a simple install and the reviews for the one I ordered said it was actually better than the original and it looks absolutely identical in the photos. I hope to have that in my hands in a week or so and will install it right away.
I was hoping that would prove to be the case.
Remember, although the lock for the fuel door is just a pseudo lock (i.e. anything shaped like a key will open it), the seat latch DOES require the ignition key to open it. The good news is, you can disassemble the seat lock, remove the little brass "keys" and their springs, put it back together and it will then work just like the fuel door in that you can open it with just about anything that will fit. Then you don't have to worry about two different keys.
