What is the ignition switch?
The ignition switch is part of the starting, charging and ignition systems. When turned, the ignition switch turns these systems on, allowing the vehicle to start and run. It also acts as a power switch for many of the electronic components in the car, including the radio, as well.
What are the symptoms related to a bad ignition switch?
When the electrical portion of the ignition switch fails, the vehicle will permanently or intermittently lose power to certain systems and components, depending on which position the key is in.
The vehicle may not turn on accessories like the air conditioner, or the vehicle may fail to start. In intermittent cases, the vehicle may randomly fail to respond to the key being turned, or stall while driving. These symptoms may come and go for some time before the ignition switch completely fails.
Can I drive with a electrical ignition switch problem?
When ignition switch issues arise, it will be dangerous or impossible to drive the car. Depending on the point of failure, the vehicle could leave you stranded, stall in traffic, or even fail to turn off the engine when the key is removed.
You should have the ignition switch repaired as soon as possible.
How often do electrical ignition switches need to be replaced?
Most cars and trucks won't have issues with the ignition switch, but if they occur, they typically happen to older, high-mileage vehicles.
