Ignition Switch: Description and Operation

The ignition switch, which is mounted on the steering actuator housing, operates in the following manner:
^ The ignition switch is cycled through rotation of the ignition switch lock cylinder through a pin which is part of the ignition switch.
^ The ignition switch lock cylinder also controls the mechanism which provides a positive lock for the transaxle linkage and the steering system.
^ The locking mechanism is located in the steering column housing.

The ignition switch lock cylinder positions are:

The ignition switch has blade-type terminals that engage with one multiple connector. The multiple connector is secured to the ignition switch by an integral connector fastener.
