Good To Know

Q: Does this housing include the ignition switch and lock cylinder? A: This is the column lock housing itself, so check your existing switch and cylinder condition and reuse or replace them as needed. Confirm your model year and column layout before ordering.

Q: Why would I replace the column lock housing? A: The housing is replaced when the key binds, the wheel will not lock or unlock, or the housing is cracked. A failed housing can stop the engine from starting.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
