Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder: Description and Operation
SYSTEM OPERATION
The ignition switch is located on the steering column. The Key-In-Switch is located in the ignition switch module. For removal/installation of
either the key lock cylinder or ignition switch, refer to Ignition Switch and Key Cylinder Replacement.
On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, a cable connects an interlock device within the steering column assembly to the transmission
floor shift lever. This interlock device is used to lock the transmission shifter in the PARK position when the key is in the LOCKED or
ACCESSORY position. The interlock device is not serviceable. If repair is necessary, the steering column assembly must be replaced. The shifter
interlock cable can be adjusted or replaced.
