I need to replace on my 95 Honda Odyssey!When I turn the key the car starts but as soon as I take my hand off the key it springs back & the car stops.I can drive it while holding the key in place.I couldn't even wind my electric window back up untill I was holding the key with the car running

I had that problem with my '92 Ascot. It was the ignition switch contacts - they were a bit worn and dirty/tarnished. It was the assembly at the rear of the ignition barrel. Turned out to be very easy to undo the assembly from the end of the barrel and clean/polish the contacts so it all worked fine again. Since the assembly connects to the main harness through a shortish loom and connector, I priced a new one and found it was about $100. At that price, I decided I could afford to replace it and not have to worry any more - kept the original as a spare.
