Ignition Switch The ignition switch (11572), which is mounted on the steering actuator housing (3F723), operates in the following manner:
The ignition switch is cycled through rotation of the ignition switch lock cylinder (11582) 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:
ACC LOCK OFF RUN START The key can be removed from the ignition switch lock cylinder with the column-shift transaxle only when the shift lever is in PARK position and the key is in LOCK position.
The ACC position operates while the steering and transaxle remain locked. The engine shuts off when the key is turned to the OFF position without locking the steering or transaxle. Blade Type
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.
