Ignition Switch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also identified as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

The ignition switch has 4 possible positions:

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 the SJB and Battery Junction Box (BJB). The ignition switch contains a key-in-ignition switch and a key removal inhibit solenoid.
