Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Standard US-278 ignition switch do?

It is the ignition starter switch. As the key turns, it switches power to the ignition and starter circuits, and its copper alloy conductors carry that current with low resistive losses.

Will this work as an Avenger ignition switch?

Yes. It is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-1998 Dodge Avenger. The Buyer's Guide tab shows the full fitment chart.

What other vehicles does this switch fit?

It fits many vehicles, including the 2008-2015 Mitsubishi L200 and the 1997-1999 Chrysler Sebring. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for the complete list.

What are signs an ignition switch may be failing?

Signs include a no-crank condition, stalling while driving, or dash lights and accessories cutting out as the key moves. Diagnose first, because other parts can cause these symptoms.

Is each switch tested?

Yes. Standard tests 100% of its switches to verify both mechanical and electrical switching performance.
