Steering column and lock service
The ignition lock switch sits at the steering column and works with the key cylinder to control the ignition circuit and the steering lock. When it wears, the key may turn stiffly, the ignition may not release, or the lock may not engage cleanly. Because the switch is tied to the column housing, a worn part is often replaced along with the cylinder.
Before replacing the switch, check the wiring connector for corrosion, look for loose pins and confirm the battery is in good condition, since low voltage can cause similar symptoms. A polished finish mainly affects appearance and does not change how the switch works. Keep spare keys in a safe place during the job, and test the ignition in every position before the column is reassembled.
- Check the connector for corrosion before removing the switch
- Test every key position after reassembly
- Consider the cylinder when the key binds
