Ignition switch choice

Aug 19, 2004 2 Replies

Going to put a new ignition switch (without lock cylinder) in my daughter's '92 Grand Am.



Advance has an AC Delco for about $25 and a GP Sorensen for about $60



Auto Zone has a Wells for about $60 and NAPA has an Echlin for about $50 or so.



Would like to go with the Delco, but can't understand how they are undercutting the other manufacturers by such a large amount. That's a little unusual from my experience.



Which switch do you think I should buy?


I'd buy the AC Delco. There are many times the OEM part is SIGNIFICANTLY less expensive than aftermarket - and electrical parts are more likely to be that way than other parts, in my 36 years' experience.

Ordered the Delco switch from Advance today. Should be here late this afternoon. Thanks for your advice.
