Swapping in a later model ignition switch

[mattsplat72]

Has anyone suscessfully swapped in a later model toyota ing switch into their car? My key isnt in the greatest shape,I thought about getting a new one made but this because of the age of the key and the amount worn off over the years, I fear the ING switch wouldnt accept a new key.
Does this make sense?

There is only 2 p/n. So if your car is 8/90 or newer any newer switch will work. Whether or not the older ones will idk. I would think they would tho.

You can still get the whole new lock set. Its about 400$

No way in hell I am spending 400 bucks. I will check the local yard.

Lock cylinder, lock cylinder set, ignition switch. These are all different parts.

86-89 Ignition Lock Cylinder: 69057-32121; $102.44
90-92 Ignition Lock Cylinder: 69057-14130; $101.55

These will come with new keys. If you want to keep using your original key, you'll need to get a locksmith to re-key the new cylinder to your original key. You'll probably want to get a new key cut to your original key code though, and not use your old worn out key. Your original key code is on the paperwork for the car, or alternatively stamped on the exterior of the RH door lock cylinder. You may be able to get the code from a Toyota dealer in your area, though the car may be too old. In Canada, we cannot get key codes for vehicles as old as the MK3.

You know for how cheap these keys are, (in canada its $8 for a new key) stop being cheap and spend a few dollers and buy a new key.

Hey Matt, as of five months ago Toyota of Escondido was able to cut me a new key from the VIN number for my 92 MKIII. You might check with the Burlington dealer up there to see if they can pull your code from your VIN. Maybe US dealers keep them longer than Canadan ones. Never hurts to check.

Yeah, going to have to give it a shot, just concerned that a newly cut key will not work in old Ignition because of the tumblers being worn down. Hence the Op about swapping in a newer Ignition switch.

Could file down the new key if it doesnt work. Make it a bit worn.

 

[mattsplat72]

There's that too, but wouldn't you be concerned about filing to much or damaging the tumblers and making it inoperable?

 

[hvyman]

Can go a little at a time. The switch is already worn so shouldnt hurt it just dont force the key.

My key is worn a super amount. I think its the original key. Still works perfect tho.

Mine has a slight bend

Had this issue with my mx83 about a month ago, tried new key. No bueno, ordered a new lock an switch cuz the old one cracked just from taking the bolts out.
