Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 36509396 ignition switch compatible with my Ingersoll Rand compressor?

The 36509396 is an Ingersoll Rand ignition/start switch used on compatible portable air compressors, including P185 models. Always verify 36509396 in the compressor parts manual and confirm the model and serial number before ordering. Not sure? Reach out with your compressor model and serial number and we’ll help confirm compatibility. 

What does the 36509396 ignition switch do?

The 36509396 controls the electrical starting sequence of the portable compressor.

It allows the operator to move the machine between operating positions such as:

  • OFF
  • ON
  • IGN / START

depending on the exact compressor electrical system.

Does the 36509396 fit every P185?

No.

Ignition switches can vary with:

  • Production year
  • Engine
  • Serial number
  • Instrument panel
  • Wiring harness
  • Electrical system

Always verify the part number from the machine manual or existing switch.

What are the signs that the 36509396 ignition switch needs to be replaced?

Common signs that the 36509396 ignition switch may be failing include:

  • Compressor does not respond when the switch is turned to IGN/START
  • Engine starts only intermittently
  • Switch must be moved or held in a certain position for the machine to start
  • Electrical power cuts in and out when the switch is moved
  • Compressor unexpectedly shuts off during operation
  • Switch feels loose, worn, or difficult to turn
  • Terminals show signs of corrosion, overheating, or burning
  • Continuity testing shows inconsistent contact between switch positions

These symptoms can also be caused by a weak battery, damaged wiring, poor connections, starter relay problems, or other electrical faults, so the starting circuit should be tested before replacing the switch.

Is this an OEM part?

This is an OEM-equivalent replacement ignition switch designed to meet the same performance standards as the original Ingersoll Rand switch.  

How difficult is it to install?

Replacing the 36509396 is generally a moderate electrical repair.

The switch is located in the instrument/control panel, so installation typically involves:

  • Shutting the compressor down completely
  • Disconnecting the battery
  • Locking out or otherwise preventing accidental startup
  • Opening the instrument panel
  • Labeling or photographing all switch wiring
  • Disconnecting the electrical terminals
  • Removing the old switch from the panel
  • Installing the replacement 36509396
  • Reconnecting each wire to the correct terminal
  • Reconnecting the battery
  • Testing the OFF, ON, and IGN/START positions

A technician familiar with basic equipment electrical systems can usually perform the repair without major machine disassembly. The most important concern is reconnecting the wiring exactly as shown in the compressor schematic, because incorrect terminal placement can cause starting problems or electrical damage.
