Detailed Description

Standard Ignition DS-917 is a replacement door lock switch for GM trucks, vans, SUVs, and passenger cars across model years 1977 through 1993. It is a practical choice for service work on vehicles such as Chevrolet C10, Chevrolet K5 Blazer, GMC Jimmy, and Chevrolet Caprice when the original switch no longer operates the power door locks correctly. This part cross-references Continental 49227 for the same application.

Standard Ignition focuses on service-grade electrical components, and this switch reflects that approach with durable construction and verified switching performance. The DS-917 is suited for technicians and repair shops that need a straightforward replacement for worn, intermittent, or non-functioning door lock controls.
