00:32If your lights are dimming or going out, it could be due to a faulty switch.
00:37Unexpected stalling is another big one.
00:40If your engine shuts down while you're driving, pay attention.
00:43Accessory malfunctions can also occur.
00:46If your radio, power windows, or AC are acting up, it might be the ignition switch.
00:52And don't forget about security issues.
00:54A failing switch can mess with your key fob and immobilizer system.
