ignition switch---2000 buick regal
about how much does an ignition switch cost for a 2000 buick regal ls? are they hard to install? my air cuts off sometimes and the cruise wont work at the same time either. if i wiggle the switch or turn it off and back on then it works. sometimes if i turn the key like im trying to start it again while its running then it will work also. then the cruise works too. the cruie wont work as long as the air isnt blowing. thanks

Re: ignition switch---2000 buick regal
I replaced mine twice and the price is about 130. They are not hard just time consuming. If you have done it before you know what your getting into. If not you must take your timel

See link below located at the Pontiac Grand Prix forum. Same procedure for the '97-'04 Regal.

Try http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/ for better prices.
The key would come with the ignition lock cylinder. The ignition switch is a different part. |

Re: ignition switch---2000 buick regal
The labor is too much and bogus on the actual hours to do the R&R. I've done it DIY in no more than 90 minutes total time. If you have an Autozone they carry an aftermarket direct fit ignition switch under the Duralast name. Around $99.00. Part number LS927.
How DIY capable are you? Thats the only real way to save money based on your circumstances.

Re: ignition switch---2000 buick regal
I just did one on a 98 Regal last fall. You may need a Lisle 27490 socket for the E4 screws you have to remove. Also if you have a remote start (aftermarket) on your car you better be fairly confident in your wiring skills etc depending on how they installed it. I bought our switch at O'Reillys for $99, working ok so far. If you have done a couple it shouldn't be too hard, getting the steering wheel covers off and getting down under the dash are the hardest part. If you are brand new it could easily take you 3 hours. Like BNaylor said, how competant are you with repairs?
