    2005 Honda Element. Key has always had a problem with sticking, but the other day it wouldn't turn at all.. I can turn it slightly, enough to unlock the steering wheel and, today I was able to turn it enough to activate the ACCESSORIES, but beyond that it won't budge...

    I am afraid to apply too much force or I'll break the key off...

    Is there a way to bypass the ignition and start the car as a temp solution?

    Or is replacing the ignition switch with a new set of key my only option?

    Any hints, tips or suggestions would be most appreciated..

    Thanx in advance..

    Again.... Thanx in advance for any hints, tips and/or suggestions..
