Product Description
This ignition switch with one key is an original PSA part designed for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles, predominantly found in the Peugeot 407 series. The ignition switch plays a critical role in your vehicle’s electrical system by enabling the starting sequence and securing the steering column against unauthorized use.
Over time, ignition switches can wear down due to frequent use, exposure to dust, or electrical faults, leading to ignition failure or difficulty turning the key. Timely replacement restores reliable engine start-up, prevents stalling, and ensures vehicle security.
The product fits multiple Citroën and Peugeot models beyond the Peugeot 407, including the Citroën C4 and others sharing the PSA 4162EA part number, making it a versatile choice for professionals and car enthusiasts performing repairs.
Installation Guide
To replace the ignition switch, first disconnect the car battery to prevent electrical hazards. Remove the steering column covers carefully to access the ignition module. Detach the electrical connectors and unscrew the ignition switch assembly. Install the new switch by reversing the steps, ensuring connectors are securely attached and covers properly aligned. Verify functionality by turning the key and starting the engine.
