The 2001 Ford F-150 has been receiving many complaints about issues with its ignition switch. It is a fairly common problem for this specific model. Signs that suggest the switch may be faulty include the engine not starting, the key getting stuck in the ignition, and the vehicle stalling while driving. You may also notice dashboard lights flickering. If the switch is indeed the problem, it will need to be replaced. The cost for the replacement parts alone can range from $30 to $80. If you hire a mechanic or auto technician to do the replacement, you should budget an additional $60 to $250 for labor charges.
The problem with the ignition switch is that while all the electrical components turn on as intended when the switch is engaged, the starter fails to activate.
