Function and Importance
The ignition switch is critical for starting your vehicle and securing ignition control, while the fuel cap maintains proper sealing of the fuel tank, preventing fuel evaporation and contamination. Both components are essential for safe and efficient vehicle operation. Failure of the ignition switch often results from wear due to frequent use, key jamming, or electrical faults. The fuel cap can degrade over time due to exposure to fuel vapors and environmental conditions.

For ignition switch replacement, disconnect the vehicle battery before removal to avoid electrical hazards. Carefully remove the steering column covers to access and replace the switch. The fuel cap is a straightforward replacement part requiring the removal of the old cap and securing the new one in place.
