Standard Motor Products US447 High-Performance Ignition Switch Review

I had no problems with my old one but I replaced the part attached to it so I decided to replace it anyway. I finally needed it because the firing pin in the old switch broke. This saved me a lot of time and now hopefully it will last longer!

2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon - my ignition became unreliable - ended up having to replace the key cylinder along with the switch actuator and this ignition switch. There was a time. carefully with the small angle screw. Make sure you use the right size Torx screwdriver because if you don't, it's going to be a booger. Now everything works great.

My car wouldn't start and all I could tell was an electrical short, but I don't know where. I could replace either the battery harness or the switch. Since the switch was cheaper I decided to replace it first and it worked. The part is standard, so its installation does not cause any particular problems. Everything fit together well and was easy to put back together.

Very sloppy button layout. Even after 170,000 miles, the original switch feels safer than this new standard in my Jeep Liberty '03 with clearly defined click positions. Can be toggled from accessory to off and button removed while stereo continues to play. (Can you tell the battery is dead?) Will keep the original in the jeep while this one can crack. or not. Incidentally, to remove the original you need a 10 Torx/star bit "Security". Some people say the steering box cover needs Torx, mine used
