Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is the electrical contact block behind the key barrel (or the push-start button assembly) that powers up the accessories, ignition and starter circuits. Worn contacts cause intermittent electrical faults that are easy to mistake for a bad battery.

Ignition Switch — frequently asked questions
Is the key barrel included?
Usually not — the electrical switch is a separate item from the lock cylinder. We quote whichever you need.
Will I need new keys?
Only if the lock cylinder is replaced. The electrical switch alone does not affect the keys.
