Detailed Description

If you are searching for a 1994-1997 Honda Accord ignition switch or a 1995-1998 Acura TL ignition switch, US-288 is the catalog reference to verify against the original part.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector shape, terminal count, and mounting location before installation. This ignition switch mounts on the steering column and uses a bolt-on attachment method, so the existing column hardware and wiring layout must match the vehicle application. Compare the original switch to Standard Ignition US-288 and confirm fitment for your exact year and model before final assembly.
