Standard Ignition is a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products. Its complete line of ignition switches is constructed with quality materials and designed for proper fit and function.
A switch may need replacing if the engine does not crank at the start position, if dash or accessory power cuts in and out, or if the engine stalls when the key is bumped. A weak battery, starter or wiring fault can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the switch.
