Market analysis

How much does a used Acura ILX ignition switch cost?

Model year matters too: 2018 units carry the lowest median at $41, while 2016 tops the table at $99. Parts from 2013–2019 are interchangeable, so if the 2018 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 7 compatible years.

Buying a used ignition switch: what to check

  1. Inspect contact board for arc burning: Check multi-pin electrical harness plugs for brown heat discoloration caused by worn internal switch contacts.
  2. Test key cylinder detent feel: Turn the key through Accessory, Run, and Start positions to ensure crisp detents without key binding or slop.
  3. Verify immobilizer antenna halo inclusion: Confirm the plastic transponder receiver ring surrounds the key cylinder and has undamaged wiring terminals.
  4. Check mechanical steering lock bolt: Verify the spring-loaded column locking bolt extends and retracts smoothly when inserting and removing the key.
  5. Plan for key matching or re-keying: Ask if matching door keys are included, or budget for a lock technician to re-key the cylinder to your original key.
