ignition switch labor cost
You didn't specify how many parts were required or the number of labor hours
it took. When I replaced the ignition cylinder & tumblers in my '94 SC2 myself, I believe parts were under $50 and it took me about an hour once I had the right tools. If you're the slightest bit mechanically inclined and have a service manual and some patience, you can do practically anything.

ignition switch labor cost
If you mean the entire ignition switch and not just the cylinder, the figure
is probably right. There's a lot of stuff that has to be removed to get at the switch. The biggest part of the cost is labor. They get $95 per hour at an independent garage near me. Oppie (20 miles North of NYC) I remember my dad's late 60's buick station wagon that had a severe run-on problem. Garage changed the ignition switch and (predictably) it had no effect on the problem. I did some research and found that there was a electrical leakage path between the battery, through the alternator idiot lamp and to the ignition coil that was the source of the run-on. Added a 20 cent diode in the warning lamp circuit to block the leakage current when ignition switch was off. End of problem. just noted your email address - you into high output audio sound? Did you attach your amplifier power feed through the ignition switch and burn it out? A relay controlled by ign switched power that in turn switches battery power into the amps is the preferred way to go... > wrote in message ... > did I Get cheated I paid 324 for a ignition switch to be put in? |
