Description
The Ignition Switch Plus One Key is a vital component designed specifically for Peugeot and Citroën vehicles, identified by product code 4162KF. This part ensures reliable engine starting and contributes to the overall security of the vehicle by allowing controlled access to engine ignition.
Commonly sought by both professional mechanics and car enthusiasts performing self-repairs, this ignition switch is engineered to fit seamlessly with electrical and locking systems in compatible models. It replaces the entire ignition lock cylinder mechanism along with one new key, making it a comprehensive solution for vehicles experiencing ignition problems such as difficulty starting, key jamming, or failure to turn the engine on.
Typically, ignition switches like this one wear out over time due to repeated use, exposure to dust, moisture and mechanical stress. Signs that replacement is needed include inconsistent ignition response, key getting stuck, or complete inability to start the engine. Installing the new ignition switch involves removing the steering column covers and disconnecting battery power to prevent electrical hazards, then swapping out the old unit for the new one, usually requiring standard automotive tools. Professional installation is recommended if unsure about the process.
