To replace an ignition switch on a Windstar, it will cost you approximately $200. This can also depend on the age of the vehicle as well.

really that's not enough information. but, if your inquiring about a ford, there is a ignition switch (not to be confused with the key switch) on the top of the column. it is easy to replace and dosent cost alot for the switch.
I had the Suby dealer in Auburn WA fix mine, the unit is held in place with 2 long bolts. The metal brackets are welded together and the electrical connections have to be soldered to the new Ignition switch. Cost-$289 or so.
It depends on what part of the country you live in. Call a couple of local garages for estimates.

About $2500.00
If you're positive that it's teh ignition switch, the part is as low as $23 shipped - if you have a mechanic install it - he'll trouble shoot to make sure thats the part you need (being the problem), could cost you oup near $200 installed.
In my case it was the ignition switch itself had overheated and seized up. Replace the switch (have to lower the column, disconnect the wiring plug from the switch, and remove/replace the switch.) Clean all connections to the switch, make sure they're connected solidly and not heating up again.

My experience with a faulty ignition switch on this generation Regal include random warning lights coming on together and turning off at the same time. Eventually, the car will sometimes stall when the turn signal switch is used. This is due to the turn signal switch "bumping" the wires leading into the ignition switch. Apparently, the wire connections inside the ignition switch sometimes tend to loosen. Dealer cost runs around $350 to $400 to replace.
I just had my water pump replaced on my '96 Windstar at a Ford dealer and it cost me $575.
It cost me 268.00 dollars today. The work was done by a local locksmith. My key would only go halfway into the barrel or switch.
