These include ignition switches, rocker switches, and indicator, hazard, and chrome toggle switches.

Car switches do not have a set replacement period. Their replacement is dependent on the failure of each switch. Their capacity to wear is also dependent on the times a switch is used. For instance, a power door lock switch is used more often than any other switch and may not fail. Other switches, such as an ignition switch, can be cycled as many times as possible. In this case, the switches should be replaced when each fails to work normally.
