The white switch you have pictured above turns with the barrel, it connects to the pin on the barrel, you can turn the switch by itself. Will click twice as if turning the key two positions, the 3rd turn is same as key as well as it will spring back to position two. ;) Test it on the spare you have and you will see what I mean.

5g?
Try your honda dealer to see if it had the recall carried out on it. If not, persuade them to do it (that will give you a free switch ;)
