Product Overview
This ignition switch assembly comes complete with three keys and includes the fuel tank lock mechanism, designed to ensure secure and reliable vehicle operation. Originally sourced from a Citroën C4, this part fits multiple models from both Citroën and Peugeot, making it a versatile replacement for vehicles within the PSA group.
Function and Importance
The ignition switch controls the electrical power to the vehicle’s engine and accessories, enabling safe starting and stopping of the engine.

Replacement typically involves removing the steering column covers and disconnecting the old switch from the wiring harness, followed by installation of the new switch assembly.
