Route power to the ignition, accessory and starter circuits with every turn of the key using the Standard Ignition Ignition Starter Switch, part number US-801. This Standard Ignition switch is a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2008 Subaru Forester, 2002-2007 Subaru Impreza, and 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-specific details.
The ignition starter switch is the electrical side of the ignition. As the key turns, it switches power to the vehicle's run and accessory circuits and sends the signal that engages the starter. Standard Ignition builds it with these features:
- Copper alloy conductors: designed for strong electrical conductivity with low resistive losses.
- Quality construction: part of a complete ignition switch line built from fine materials for proper fit and function.
- 100% tested: every unit is checked to verify both mechanical and electrical switching performance.
- Robust design: high-grade materials chosen to meet the stringent demands of today's service professional.
Signs this part may need replacing: the engine won't crank when the key is turned, the engine stalls or cuts out while driving, or dash lights and accessories flicker or lose power. A weak battery, a faulty starter or damaged wiring can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing any part. If a worn ignition starter switch is the cause, US-801 replaces it.
