FAQ'S

Common Questions About Ignition Switches

Find clear answers below regarding electrical starting issues and our repair process for ignition switches.

1. How do I know if my ignition switch is bad?

Common signs include dashboard lights flickering while driving, the engine stalling unexpectedly, or the car failing to start even though the battery is fully charged. If you have to wiggle the key to get the accessories to turn on, the electrical contacts inside the switch are likely worn out.
No, they are two separate components. The lock cylinder is the mechanical part where you insert the key. The ignition switch is the electrical component located behind the cylinder that sends power to the starter and engine. We can often repair or replace just the switch without changing the lock itself.
In most cases, no. Since the ignition switch is an electrical part distinct from the mechanical lock cylinder, your existing key will usually continue to work. If we find that the lock cylinder is also damaged, we will discuss options for rekeying it to match your current key.

4. Can a bad ignition switch cause my car to stall while driving?

Yes, this is a serious safety issue. A faulty switch can intermittently cut power to the engine’s fuel or ignition systems while the vehicle is in motion. If you experience stalling or a sudden loss of power, we recommend having the switch inspected immediately to prevent dangerous situations on the road.
No, we perform this service on-site. Our technicians come to your location equipped with the necessary tools to access the steering column and replace the switch. This saves you the cost and logistical hassle of towing a vehicle that will not start.

Yes, we provide a guarantee on the parts we install and our labor. We test the new switch thoroughly to ensure it maintains a solid electrical connection and engages the starter motor consistently. You can trust that the repair is durable and reliable.
