Ignition Switch
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Ford Special Service Police Sedan and 2015 Ford Police Interceptor Sedan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The ignition switch is controlled by the ignition lock cylinder with a key. When the ignition lock cylinder is turned using the key, a mechanical connection positions the ignition switch to the selected position and allows the ignition switch to send voltage to specific components. The ignition switch sends voltage to the BCM and PCM during engine cranking.
