An ignition switch, starter switch or start switch is a switch in the control system of a motor vehicle that activates the main electrical systems for the vehicle, including “accessories” (radio, power windows, etc.). In vehicles powered by internal combustion engines, the switch provides power to the starter solenoid and the ignition system components (including the engine control unit and ignition coil), and is frequently combined with the starter switch which activates the starter motor.
Located on the steering wheel on the column or dash area, the switch is the key to getting your car to start. The key is inserted to let you turn the switch from off to on, accessory, and start. Most vehicles today have keys that have a built-in chip that communicates with the vehicle’s computer. In fact, many vehicles today don’t use a key at all to turn the ignition switch. Instead, a button and a remote controller communicate with the car’s computer to let it know you are the correct person to start the vehicle. Once the communication is complete, the vehicle should start. Once you arrive at your destination, you reverse the action to turn the vehicle off.
