Follow these steps to install your new M MATI 4 Position 5 Pin Sealed Ignition Key Switch. It is recommended to disconnect the vehicle's battery before beginning any electrical work.
Tools Required:
- Socket wrench or appropriate tool for retaining nut.
- Screwdriver (if dashboard panel removal is necessary).
Step-by-Step Installation:

- Disconnect Wiring: Carefully disconnect the electrical wiring harness from the back of the existing ignition switch. Note the orientation of the connector if it is not keyed.
- Remove Old Switch: Unscrew the retaining nut or remove any clips/fasteners that secure the old switch in place. Gently push the old switch out from the front of the dashboard.

- Secure New Switch: Fasten the new switch by screwing on the retaining nut from the back of the dashboard until it is snug. Do not overtighten.
- Reconnect Wiring: Reconnect the electrical wiring harness to the new switch. Ensure the connection is firm and secure.
