Dorman 924-869 Ignition Switch

Great

My Jeep was having several ignition problems. This switch did the trick. Not to hard to install and works great.

Purchased to replace the Ignition Switch # 924-869 together with the Actuator # 924-704 (that I had purchased some weeks before). The symptom was Lights On, on the dashboard, but no Crank and no even a Click from the Starter. Diagnostic was bad Ignition Switch and/or broken parts on the Ignition Actuator. Got to start the engine by bypassing the Starter Relay (and pretty much everything else) with a Jump Wire with two flat terminals, that I had in the glove-box in anticipation of such event. Note: the Fuse and the Starter Relay are located in the Main Fuse & Relay Box located in the Engine Compartment, next to the battery. Had to do the same above "bypass procedure" for a few days until I got the Ignition Switch delivered. Thanks to the USPS (yes, the postal service) the delivery was one day earlier than Amazon estimation (!) Installing the Actuator is a big PITA, as everything has to fit properly and the way it was designed by the Chrysler engineers: overly complicated and with a bunch of small and very small parts that have to come together perfectly. Don't forget to lubricate all the moving parts! Can use Lithium grease or Assembly Grease (as it is more oily), like I did. Fitting the Ignition Switch over the end of the Actuator, is another PITA. May need several attempts until it gets into the right position: READ and Understand the instructions, and also: READ below. And DON"T push too hard. Be gentle and handy at the same time, otherwise you will break something and will end up with another mess. After replacement, I did get the "ding-ding-ding" warning sound (like when Key is left inserted in the Tumbler) even with No Key in the ignition, until I closed the Driver side Door. I disconnected slowly the Ignition Switch from the Actuator and noticed that the Plunger was pushed inwards. The "trick" to do it the right way (and it's not anywhere in the instructions manual) is: With both the Switch and the Actuator in the "Run" position, attach the the Switch half way to the Actuator. While keeping to push the Switch lightly and before it will engage onto the retaining clips of the Actuator, turn the Tumbler counter clockwise into the Off position. That will make the Ignition Switch to slide all the way and engage the proper way with the Actuator. Then, upon removal of the Key from the Tumbler, the spring-loaded Plunger will be released within the round deeper opening of the Switch. Insert the small Torx screw and permanently attach the Ignition Switch onto the Actuator. Plug-in the Ignition Harness, insert the Key in the Tumbler and check for the proper functionality, before re-positioning the Combination Switch and re-attaching the top and bottom Covers to the Steering Column. Done !

Fit jeep tj 2005 it’s made in Taiwan it’s working fine, but it doesn’t feel like the original one. It’s a little bit harder.

I will say this the instructions alone are worth buying this switch. They are good read first. The only thing they did not say was the tools to use on our 2005 pt cruiser limited I used a Philips to remove the cover bolts a ten torque to remove the switch screw. But other wise there very DETAILED. THANKS JOE

Worked like a Charm

Looks identical to the factory part and works great

Car starts and runs but....alarms that key is still in the ignition when removed. Returned it and the second one does the same thing. Put the OEM part back in and the alarm works as it should. So it has something to do with the part not being compatible with 2007 Jeep Liberty despite saying otherwise. Maybe thats why the part is so much cheaper than the OEM part.

ya tengo algunos años con el y sigue funcionando perfectamente

It is identical to what I needed! Great delivery.

Worked for my 2004 TJ unlimited. I still have an issue I am diagnosing around the alignment of the components. The door chime comes on as if the key is left in the ignition. I don’t think this has to do with the product.

recomendado los materiales al tacto se sienten de buena calidad... lo recomiendo... volvería a comprar con ellos...

Works in my 2001 JEEP TJ perfect!!
