I went one step further, I installed an universal AUTOMOTIVE ignition switch which has a unique key (actually came with 4 keys). This has the advantage of an accessory position so i can have the radio or fan on without the EFI, running lights, etc on. These switches are available for about $15 at most of the auto parts stores, and the keys are all different. NOTE: I did not use the start position.

My village golf cart don’t have standard fit all key

As I recall it fit the existing hole, I also did this for 2 or 3 neighbors. I think one of the carts the hole was a little small and an exacto knife fixed that very quickly.

One word of caution, ALL of the carts I worked on had 2 wires to the ignition switch, I have seen carts with 4 wires, and i have NOT looked into the exact wiring on the 4 wire switches.

You have to buy a blank at the Villages Golf Cars for $7.00 each and get it cut at Ace Hardware. The Yamaha keys are cut on both sides. There are two cuts for each key.
