Ignition switch

An Ignition switch is a switch in the control system of an internal combustion engined motor vehicle that activates the main electrical systems for the vehicle.

The ignition switch usually requires a key be inserted that works a lock built into the switch mechanism. It is frequently combined with the starter switch which activates the starter motor. The ignition locking system may be bypassed by disconnecting the wiring to the switch and manipulating it directly; this is known as hotwiring.
