A Generic Ignition And Key system consists of a mechanical key barrel and an electrical switch that controls power flow from the battery to the vehicle's accessories, ignition, and starter motor.
Key Functions & Positions
• Lock / Off: Cuts power to most electrical circuits and allows the key to be inserted or removed.
• ACC (Accessory): Powers low-draw electrical items such as the radio and dashboard lights without turning on the engine.
• ON (Running): Energizes the main ignition and engine control systems, warning lights, and fuel/spark components.
• START: Momentarily engages the starter solenoid or motor to crank the engine before springing back to the ON position.
Common Design & Specifications
• Terminal Configuration: Standard universal or replacement switches often feature a multi-terminal setup (such as a 4-terminal layout for basic circuits or 5+ terminals for equipment with magnetos or auxiliary regulators).
• Housing & Keys: Built with a durable metal or composite barrel and supplied with a matching pair of precision-cut physical keys to prevent jamming or premature wear.
