Standard Ignition Ignition Switch P/N:US-711
Designed to route power cleanly from the key to your ignition and starter circuits, the Standard Ignition Starter Switch, part number US-278, is the electrical switch that powers those circuits as the key is turned. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1995-1998 Dodge Avenger, 2008-2015 Mitsubishi L200 and 1997-1999 Chrysler Sebring, and installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Standard is a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products. It keeps quality control in-house through the whole manufacturing process, from individual components to the finished switch.
This part may need replacing if the engine won't crank when the key is turned, if the engine stalls or cuts out while driving, or if dash lights and accessories flicker as the key moves. If a worn ignition switch is the cause, the US-278 replaces it. Diagnose the circuit before replacing the switch, because other parts can cause the same symptoms.
