Hi Brian, I'm glad to assist you. No, because a faulty ignition switch would prevent you from starting the engine most of the time. The main cause of a bad ignition switch is: car won't start, key won't turn, car stalls after a brief start, no noise from starter and dashboard lights flicker. It is best if a mechanic run a diagnostic test on your car with a scan tool or other methods of proper troubleshooting to find out the problem. I hope this helps. Happy shopping.
