I just wanted to know if I change my ignition lock cylinder, do I have to change the switch as well?

No, you don't need to replace the switch with a cylinder replacement repair.

Where could I find a ignition lock cylinder replacement because all I have come across is the cylinder w/ the switch.

Sorry my mistake, with an automatic tranny, yes all lock cylinders DO come with switch attached. Only manual tranny equipped Integras have the option of buying the switch separate.

Thanks. I thought there was something fishy about that. I could find switches but I couldn't find the lock cylinder by itself. Thanks again. Great website by the way. You have a member for life.
