Is it dangerous to drive with a faulty ignition switch?

Yes, this is a serious concern — a switch that intermittently cuts power while driving can shut off the engine or electrical systems unexpectedly, which is dangerous. Have this diagnosed and repaired promptly.

Does the new switch need programming?

On many modern vehicles yes, particularly if it includes the transponder immobiliser antenna — check whether coding is needed for your specific vehicle.

What is the switch made of?

A precision mechanical lock cylinder combined with an electrical switch mechanism.

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
