Buying a used ignition switch: what to check
- Inspect contact board for arc burning: Check multi-pin electrical harness plugs for brown heat discoloration caused by worn internal switch contacts.
- Test key cylinder detent feel: Turn the key through Accessory, Run, and Start positions to ensure crisp detents without key binding or slop.
- Verify immobilizer antenna halo inclusion: Confirm the plastic transponder receiver ring surrounds the key cylinder and has undamaged wiring terminals.
- Check mechanical steering lock bolt: Verify the spring-loaded column locking bolt extends and retracts smoothly when inserting and removing the key.
- 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.
