Welcome to Mr Ignition
Professional Ignition Switch Replacement Services
At Mr Ignition, we specialise in ignition switch replacement services for a wide range of cars and vans. A faulty ignition switch can prevent your vehicle from starting, cause intermittent electrical problems or leave you stranded unexpectedly.
The key turns, but the car will not start. That is the usual ignition switch fault, once the ignition barrel itself still turns.
We provide professional fault diagnosis and ignition switch replacement, helping identify whether the problem is caused by the ignition switch itself, the ignition barrel, steering lock or another related component.
What Does an Ignition Switch Do?
The ignition switch is an important part of your vehicle's starting and electrical system. When you turn the key or activate the ignition, the switch helps control power to the vehicle's electrical systems and starting circuit.
Over time, internal wear, electrical faults or damage can cause an ignition switch to fail. Correct diagnosis is important because symptoms of ignition switch failure can sometimes be similar to problems with the ignition barrel, key, immobiliser or steering lock.

Common Fault Symptoms
Signs of a Faulty Ignition Switch
A failing ignition switch can cause several starting and electrical problems. These symptoms can also have other causes, so professional diagnosis is recommended.
Car Won't Start
You turn the key but the vehicle fails to start or there is no
response from the starting system.
Intermittent Starting
The vehicle starts normally on some occasions but fails to respond
at other times.
Dashboard Lights Flicker
Dashboard warning lights may flicker, fail to illuminate or behave
unexpectedly when the ignition is operated.
Electrical Accessories Fail
Electrical accessories may stop working or lose power due to an
ignition switch electrical fault.
Key Difficult to Turn
Difficulty turning the key may indicate a problem involving the
ignition barrel, switch or related mechanism.
Key Stuck in Ignition
A key that becomes stuck may indicate a mechanical or electrical
fault requiring professional diagnosis.
Correct Fault Diagnosis
Ignition Switch or Ignition Barrel?
Ignition switch and ignition barrel faults can sometimes produce similar symptoms, but they are different components. The ignition barrel is the mechanical component into which the key is inserted, while the ignition switch is responsible for controlling electrical circuits associated with the vehicle's ignition and starting system.
If your key is physically difficult to insert or turn, the problem may involve the ignition barrel. If the key turns normally but the vehicle has intermittent electrical or starting problems, the ignition switch may be responsible.
Professional diagnosis helps ensure the correct component is repaired or replaced, avoiding unnecessary replacement costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ignition Switch Replacement FAQs
What are the signs of a faulty ignition switch?
Common symptoms include intermittent starting, the vehicle failing
to start, flickering dashboard lights, electrical accessories
losing power or no response when the ignition is operated.
Can a faulty ignition switch stop my car from starting?
Yes. A failed ignition switch can prevent the vehicle's starting
circuit from operating correctly. However, similar symptoms can
also be caused by other faults, so diagnosis is recommended.
What is the difference between an ignition switch and ignition barrel?
The ignition barrel is generally the mechanical component operated
by the key, while the ignition switch controls electrical circuits
associated with the vehicle's ignition and starting system.
Can you diagnose whether my ignition switch is faulty?
Yes. We can assess the symptoms and determine whether the problem
is likely to involve the ignition switch, ignition barrel or
another related component.

Yes. Where suitable, Mr Ignition provides mobile ignition switch
services across our coverage area, allowing work to be carried

Will I need new keys after replacing the ignition switch?
Not necessarily. This depends on the vehicle and the type of
ignition system fitted. Where possible, suitable replacement
components can work with the vehicle's existing key and security
system.
