Keep the key-to-crank connection working as designed with the Standard Ignition switch US-95, an ignition starter switch that routes power to the ignition and starting circuits as the key is turned through its positions. It is a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of classic GM and American Motors applications, including the 1988-1994 Chevrolet C1500, 1988-1994 Chevrolet K1500 and 1978-1983 Chevrolet Malibu.
- Quality control throughout: Standard Ignition is a global manufacturer of original-equipment ignition products and maintains complete quality control over the whole manufacturing process, from the individual components to the finished switch.
- Copper alloy conductors: Chosen for superior electrical conductivity with low resistive losses.
- 100% tested: Every switch is checked to verify both its mechanical and electrical switching performance.
- Built for the shop: A robust design and high-grade materials are made to meet the stringent demands of today's service professional.
Standard Ignition builds its full line of ignition switches from quality materials for proper fit and function. If a worn ignition switch is behind a no-crank condition, intermittent loss of power, or stalling, the US-95 replaces it. These signs can also come from other components, so diagnose the cause before replacing.
Listed applications also include many more American Motors, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC models, along with an Alfa Romeo application. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an ignition starter switch do?
As the key moves through its positions, the switch routes power to the vehicle's ignition circuits and to the starting circuit for cranking.
Is this the right 1978-1983 Chevrolet Malibu switch?
The Standard Ignition US-95 is listed for the 1978-1983 Chevrolet Malibu. The "Vehicles it fits" section shows every listed application.
What are signs an ignition switch may need replacing?
Common signs include no crank when the key is turned, intermittent loss of power, or stalling. Other components can cause these too, so diagnose the cause before replacing the switch.
How is the US-95 tested?
Standard Ignition states that every switch is 100% tested to verify both its mechanical and electrical switching performance.
What are the switch's conductors made of?
The US-95 uses copper alloy conductors, which Standard Ignition specifies for superior electrical conductivity with low resistive losses.
