Ignition/Engine Control Switch

The ignition/engine control switch is located in the upper end of the steering column. The electrical switching portion of the assembly is separate from the key and lock cylinder. However, both are synchronized and work together through the actuator rod assembly.


The ignition switch is key operated through the actuator rod assembly to close the ignition primary circuit and energize the starting motor solenoid for cranking.
