Can you use a 2002 ignition switch on 2001 Chevy Impala?

It's *highly likely* a 2002 Chevy Impala ignition switch will work on a 2001 Chevy Impala, but it's not guaranteed. While the cars are very similar, there's a small chance of minor differences in the switch's wiring harness connector or the mechanical interface with the steering column.

Before installing, carefully compare the switches visually. Look for identical part numbers on the switches themselves. If the part numbers aren't identical, you should research further to confirm compatibility. Even with similar part numbers, a small mechanical or electrical difference could exist.

If you're unsure, taking the old switch to an auto parts store and having them cross-reference the part number is the safest way to ensure compatibility.
