Dorman Ignition Switch Actuator Pin replacement for Chrysler Dodge Jeep Plymouth — 924-704 OE FIX direct-fit, quality-tested

The Dorman 924-704 ignition switch actuator pin is a direct-fit replacement component that lets you repair a worn ignition switch without replacing the entire steering column.

If the ignition key no longer turns smoothly or the vehicle fails to register key positions, the actuator pin inside the steering column is often the worn piece. Rather than paying for a full steering column assembly, this Dorman OE FIX actuator pin restores the switch mechanism’s fit and function with a straightforward replacement. It’s engineered to match original specifications and comes with quality checks to help ensure reliable operation in the listed Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Plymouth models.

Will this actuator pin work with my vehicle?

Compatibility depends on make, model and year. Dorman lists fitment for many Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Plymouth vehicles across late 1990s and early 2000s model years; always verify fitment for your specific trim before purchase.

• Compatible lines include Chrysler Cirrus, PT Cruiser, Sebring, Prowler; Dodge Neon, Stratus; Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, Liberty, Wrangler; and Plymouth Breeze, Neon, Prowler.
• Use the garage tool on the product page and check the Confirmed Fit bar to confirm compatibility.
• If you see a blue “i” icon, hover to review additional fitment notes and exceptions for your trim.

How does replacing just the actuator pin save time and money?

Replacing the actuator pin isolates the faulty component instead of replacing the entire steering column assembly, which is more expensive and labor-intensive. Installation is typically quicker and uses fewer parts, reducing both parts cost and shop hours.

• Lower parts cost compared with a full steering column replacement.
• Shorter labor time when a technician replaces a single pin vs. disassembling/replacing the column.
• Less risk of introducing electrical or mechanical issues from swapping multiple components.

Is the Dorman 924-704 a reliable match for the original part?

This actuator pin is sold under Dorman’s OE FIX line and is manufactured to mirror the original part’s fit and function. It undergoes inspection to meet Dorman’s quality standards, offering a practical aftermarket repair option.

• Engineered to match OEM dimensions for a proper mechanical fit.
• Quality-tested to reduce fit or function issues at installation.
• Direct-replacement design helps maintain original ignition switch operation.

What should I know before attempting installation?

Basic mechanical skills and common hand tools are usually sufficient, but procedures vary by vehicle. Follow vehicle-specific service instructions to avoid damage to the steering column or ignition assembly.

• Disconnect the battery before starting to prevent electrical shorts or airbag deployment risk.
• Keep track of small fasteners and note steering column orientation during disassembly.
• If unsure, consult a qualified technician; incorrect installation can affect steering lock or ignition operation.
