S2000 ignition lock sporadic failure?
It can happen to the S2000 too.
I experienced it three times already, all when driving on bumpy roads but with nothing attached to my car key.
The ignition cuts out, ABS light goes on, EPS stops working, dash light does not dim, and within less than a second, everything came back. No CEL before or after.
I then drove slowly to a safe place, and wiggled my ignition key, which was inserted into the cylinder all by itself with nothing hanging off of it, and the cut-out occurred in a similar way.
Is there a main relay that I should also change? It appears to be a master electrical cut-off, since everything goes off at once instead of just one thing at a time.
A new ignition switch is close to $400 from Honda.
