Product Description
This ignition switch and door lock set includes two keys and is specifically designed for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles, notably the Peugeot 407 and Citroën C4. The part number 4162SP, also referenced as 4162EA, is a direct replacement that ensures proper locking and starting functions essential for vehicle security and operation.
The ignition switch is responsible for activating the vehicle’s electrical system and enabling the engine to start when the key is turned. The door lock mechanism includes the driver’s side lock, which protects against unauthorized entry. These parts can wear over time due to repeated use, exposure to dust, or mechanical stress, causing issues such as difficulty turning the key, intermittent electrical contact, or door locking problems.
Replacing the ignition switch and door lock typically requires removing the steering column covers, disconnecting the battery to ensure safety, and carefully extracting the faulty components to install the new set. This replacement is generally straightforward and can be performed by skilled automechanics or experienced DIY car enthusiasts with the right tools.
Regular maintenance and timely replacement of locks and switches improve vehicle security and prevent breakdowns related to ignition failure.
