Frequently asked questions

What is the LR039638LR ignition switch?
The LR039638LR ignition switch is the steering column ignition switch, mounted on the column. It controls the ignition and starter circuits when the key is turned, so it's the electrical switch behind the barrel rather than the key lock barrel itself.
Which Defender models does this ignition switch fit?
This ignition switch fits the Land Rover Defender up to 2016, covering both the 1986-2006 range and the 2007-2016 Puma. Fitment has VIN break points across engines, so check your VIN against the column ignition switch listing before ordering.
Is this the electrical switch or the lock barrel?
This is the electrical ignition switch that sits on the steering column and feeds the ignition and starter circuits, not the key lock barrel. If your key turns but nothing powers up, the switch is a likely cause; if the key won't turn, the fault is more likely the lock barrel.
