Frequently Asked Questions
What Is An Ignition Switch?
An ignition switch is a vital component of a vehicle's electrical system. It serves as the interface between the driver and the car's electrical functions, allowing the driver to start the engine, control accessories, and power various electrical components within the vehicle. The ignition switch plays a crucial role in the overall operation and safety of an automobile.
How much does it cost to fix an ignition?
Replacing the ignition switch typically costs between $125 to $275 for the part and labor. However, prices can vary depending on your location and the complexity of the replacement. If the issue is specifically with the ignition cylinder (where the key is inserted), the cost can range from $100 to $225 for parts and labor.
What are signs of ignition problems?
