Signs an ignition starter switch may need replacing include an engine that does not crank when the key is turned to start, accessories or gauges that do not power up in a key position, or power that cuts out while driving. A weak battery, a worn lock cylinder, the starter or the wiring can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If the switch is at fault, US-317 replaces it.
