Audi Porsche VW Ignition Switch - Magneti Marelli CI50036

Product Information

An ignition switch is a component in a vehicle’s electrical system that initiates the engine’s start-up sequence and provides power to the vehicle’s accessories. It’s typically located on the steering column or dashboard and works in conjunction with the ignition cylinder, activated when you turn the key or press the start button. The ignition switch has multiple positions, including "Off," "Accessory," "On," and "Start," each supplying power to different vehicle functions.

• Failure to Start: One of the most common symptoms is the engine failing to start or cranking intermittently, as the switch may not properly supply power to the starter motor or ignition system
• Accessory Power Loss: Accessories like the radio, headlights, or power windows may fail to work or may turn off unexpectedly, even when the ignition is in the "On" or "Accessory" position
