Audi Ignition Switch

Also known as the starter switch, the Audi ignition switch is an energizing component for its electrical systems and is usually operated by a key. It powers the starter solenoid and ignition system while allowing accessories to function, like the radio and power windows. Because of degraded or jammed wafers that hamper the entry of keys, you need to replace an ignition switch regularly.

It is better to choose OEM parts when it comes to the time for fixing them. Why? Because they fit perfectly well and ensure safety. For people who prefer doing their maintenance, the genuine Audi Ignition Switch is quite perfect. At AudiPartsGiant.com, we specialize in genuine Audi Ignition Switches only.

Audi Ignition Switch Parts and Q&A

  • Q: How to remove and refit the ignition switch and steering lock/switch carrier on Audi A3?
    A:
    To remove the ignition switch, first disconnect the battery negative lead and position it away from the terminal, then remove the steering wheel. Undo the screws to take off the column height and reach adjustment handle, release the gap cover, and unclip the upper shroud from the steering column. Remove the lower shroud by undoing the screws, carefully disconnect the plug from the ignition switch, and insert the ignition key to turn it to the Drive position, aligning a hole with a dot on the plastic cover. Insert a 1.2 mm wire to depress and withdraw the lock cylinder. For refitting, place the switch back into the steering lock housing, remove the wire, and ensure the retaining clip engages. Check the ignition switch is secure, reconnect the wiring plug, and reassemble the upper and lower shrouds along with the gap cover, followed by the column height and reach adjustment handle, and finally the steering wheel before reconnecting the battery negative lead. For the steering lock/switch carrier, disconnect the battery negative lead and ensure the front wheels are straight before removing the steering wheel. Remove the column height and reach adjustment handle, then the upper and lower shrouds, releasing them from the adjustment handle. Take out the steering column electronics control unit by undoing the retaining screw and using a rod to release the clips, then disconnect the wiring. Hold the airbag clock spring in its central position while unclipping it from the combination switch carrier, and if applicable, pull the steering angle sensor away from the carrier. Remove the indicator and windscreen wiper switches using a feeler gauge to release them from the carrier, and disconnect the wiring from the immobilizer coil. The steering column lock/switch carrier is secured with shear-head bolts, which must be drilled out or cut off to remove the carrier. For refitting, if the lock cylinder was removed, insert it with the ignition key in the Drive position, ensuring the immobilizer coil connection is correctly located. Position the lock/switch carrier on the outer column and insert new shear-head bolts, tightening until their heads break off, then complete the assembly in reverse order while ensuring the airbag clock spring is in its central position.
  • Q: How to remove and install the ignition lock cylinder and ignition switch on Audi A4?
    A:
    The ignition switch which is found under steering column, with switch on the left and key lock cylinder on the right is a cast-metal housing, ignition lock cylinder, and an electrical component, called switch device. Start by removing the cable of the negative post of the battery and take off the steering column covers and the steering column switch assembly. In the case of automatic transmissions in the model, it is necessary to ensure that the shift linkage is in Park before you can proceed. Insert the key into the lock and switch it to the ON position, and then will have to release the retaining clip to take the park/lock cable out of the ignition switch. In case of a key lock cylinder, to take it out, leave the key in the "ON" position and position the access hole with the mark on the trim. The assembly can be pulled out using a straightened large paper clip, taking into consideration that the reader coil is embedded in the lock cylinder and cannot be removed independently of it. The installation of key lock cylinder is done in the same manner as in the "ON" position, just insert it, until it clips as compared to the paper clip, switch the key to the Lock position and it is removed. In the case of the ignition switch, unscrew the electrical connector of large size on the left hand, scrape the locking coating out of the switch retaining screw heads and loosen the screws without their removal, then withdraw the switch out of the ignition assembly. The method to solve the lock housing is to loosen the steering column mounting bolts and move the column downwards ensuring that the mounting brackets are not damaged. To remove the housing cut slots into the shear bolt heads or drill them out and make sure the installation is opposite to the removal tightening the new shear bolts until the heads break off.
