Frequently asked questions

What does the ignition switch do?

The ignition switch is the key-operated electrical switch on the steering column that runs the ignition and starting circuit. It selects the accessory, ignition, and start positions, feeding the ignition system and energising the starter solenoid on the petrol engines.

Is this ignition switch for a negative-earth system?

Yes, this ignition switch is wired for negative-earth electrical systems. Most Land Rover Series 2A, 3, and Defender models run negative earth, but very early Series vehicles were positive earth. Check your vehicle's polarity before fitting, as the wiring differs.

Which Land Rovers does this ignition switch fit?

This ignition switch suits the Land Rover Series 2, 2A, and 3 with the 2.25 petrol, 2.6 six-cylinder, or 3.5 V8 engine, plus the Defender from 1987 to 2006. It mounts on the steering column. Confirm your column type before ordering.
