Purpose
This component provides the proper switching for the
starter, ignition, accessories, and safety circuits (Figure
31).
How It Works
Detents inside the switch give it four positions: OFF,
LIGHTS (ACCESSORIES), RUN, and START. The
START position is spring loaded so the cylinder
automatically returns to RUN once the key is released.
Terminals of the ignition switch as viewed from the
terminal end (Figure 31).
