Detailed Product Overview

Built for the 1999-2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara, Standard Ignition US-821 replaces the ignition lock cylinder and switch used at the steering column. The coded cylinder helps restore proper key operation and ignition function when the original unit is worn, sticking, or no longer turning reliably. Standard Ignition US-821 is a practical OE-style replacement for Grand Vitara ignition service, and the included keys support a straightforward lock-cylinder swap.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 3710560860, CS1181) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Key will not turn smoothly in the ignition
  • Ignition cylinder feels worn or loose in the column
  • Intermittent start or accessory position engagement
  • Broken or damaged original lock cylinder
  • Loss of normal ignition key operation on a Suzuki Grand Vitara

Installation Notes and Tips

Install at the steering column in the original mounting location. Verify connector style, terminal count, and vehicle year before replacement. Because instructions are not included, compare the original cylinder and switch layout to confirm proper fitment for your Suzuki Grand Vitara. Standard Ignition US-821 uses a coded lock cylinder, so key and cylinder matching should be checked during installation.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition supplies ignition service parts for repair and replacement applications. US-821 is built with a cast iron and plastic finish combination and is configured for the specified connector and terminal layout used on the listed Grand Vitara models.
