I have a 2005 Honda Civic.

-This started about 2 months ago with my CD player. Out of the blue, it gradually stopped working, button by button until the screen went completely black and nothing worked at all. It is a flip face and it stopped flipping when my vehicle would turn on. I replaced the radio fuse. Now, when I start the car with the new radio fuse, my CD player will flip but nothing will turn on.

-Key keeps getting stuck in the ignition when you turn the car off (no problems when I turn it on). It's as if some sort of anti-theft mechanism turned on or something. If I turn the car on, then move the gear shift a little and turn it back off the key will come out.

-Now, my horn sounds funny. When I hit the horn it sounds sort of like something is rattling in there, like it wants to stop working soon.

-There is this strange clicking noise as I drive, like a turn-signal sound except my turn signals/hazards are not on.


Any idea what this could be? Are they all related? It seems like it as they have all began to happen, one after another as of 2 months ago. Is it an electrical problem? How could I find out? I am female and know nothing about fixing my car.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

-Buy a new CD player
-WD-40
-Buy a new horn
-Wheel bearings? Or a piece of body hitting something?

 

Hmm, I am not sure if you are joking or not but thanks...

WD-40: I don't think it is a lubrication problem as the only way the key will come out is if you move the gear shift all the way back and then all the way forward again. Nothing else will allow the key to come out... this leads me to believe it is an electrical problem and not a lubrication issue.

Wheel Bearings: The sound is not coming from outside of the car. It sounds exactly like a turn signal-- it is a timed click that sounds exactly like my turn signal except my turn signal is not on.

 

Automatics have an interlock so you can't turn the key all the way off and remove it (which locks the steering wheel) unless the lever is at Park. The switch on the shift lever could be bad, so you have to wiggle it until it will finally make contact and let you remove the key.

You may have bad connections at the battery causing power surges throughout the car causing all these seemingly unrelated problems.

 

That makes sense, not too familiar with how that automatic thing would work. I was somewhat joking but in a legitimate sense, i had an old clunker i left my keys in for months cause i couldnt get it out haha no one would have even considered stealing that 93 escort tho -.-
A electrical problem would make sense, rats like to crawl up into engine bays and chew as many wires as they can before a belt rips them apart. Or just new battery cables, i would go in there with a multimeter and start checking simple things and work your way through.
For starters try taking out the fuse for blinkers and hazards and see if that stops that noise.
