Standard Ignition US-281 Ignition Switch

Ignition Switch for Saturn SC, SL, and SW

The Standard Ignition US-281 ignition switch is built for direct replacement service on select Saturn models from 1991-1994. It uses a bolt-on mounting design, a rectangular female connector, and an 8-blade male terminal layout to support proper electrical switching and reliable column-mounted operation.

Key Features

• Column-mounted ignition switch for select Saturn vehicles
• Bolt-on attachment method for secure installation
• Black plastic finish with a rectangular connector shape
• Female connector with 1 connector and 8 male blade terminals
• Copper alloy conductors for strong electrical conductivity and low resistive loss
• 100% tested for mechanical and electrical switching performance

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition US-281 is an ignition switch engineered with robust materials to meet service demands in ignition system repair. The copper alloy conductor design supports consistent current flow, while the tested switching performance helps ensure the switch operates correctly under normal vehicle electrical loads. This part cross-references AC Delco 1S6345 for the same application. It is a direct-fit option for Saturn SC, Saturn SL, and Saturn SW applications where the original column-mounted switch uses the same connector and terminal configuration.

Common Repair Symptoms

• No crank or intermittent crank condition
• Accessory power loss at the ignition switch
• Key position does not reliably trigger starter or ignition circuits
• Electrical switching faults in the steering column circuit
• Wear-related failure in the original ignition switch contacts

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and column mounting style before installation. Confirm the vehicle’s original switch uses a rectangular female connector with 8 male blade terminals and bolt-on attachment. For Saturn SC1, SC2, SL, SL1, SL2, SW1, SW2, and SC applications, match the existing switch configuration to the part number US-281 before replacement.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition manufactures this switch with high-grade materials and tests each unit for mechanical and electrical function before release. The US-281 is built to support dependable service in ignition switch replacement work.
