Description
Product Overview
This ignition switch with one key is designed for Citroën C5 vehicles manufactured between 2005 and 2007, with the part number 4162FE. It serves as a critical component for starting the engine and securing the vehicle against unauthorized use. The ignition switch is a durable electro-mechanical part that connects the steering system with the engine’s electrical system, enabling power flow when turning the key.
Usage and Replacement
You can replace the ignition switch if you experience difficulty turning the key, intermittent power loss, or issues with the steering lock function. Over time, the internal contacts may wear out due to regular use, leading to electrical faults or complete failure to start the engine. Replacing the ignition switch requires careful disassembly of the steering column and removal of the old switch, followed by installing the new unit and programming the key, especially if RFID immobilizer features are present.
This part is compatible primarily with Citroën C5 I and II series (2005-2007) and generally fits PSA group vehicles, including some Peugeot models using compatible key systems.
