The original switch in my 03 lasted 13 years. The Chinese one I bought at NAPA lasted about 6 months and failed when I was picking my car up from my indy specialist just after 5 PM on a weekday. They scrounged around and found a switch to get me going. Next service I upgraded to the newer style column lock and switch, I hope that one lasts 13 years. They showed me how the Chinese switches are made from a much more brittle plastic than the European ones and wear out so much faster. Make sure you use a good brand for the replacement switch, spend the extra $10 or $15 if you have to buy a switch.
