Key-In-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.
The key-in-ignition switch is hardwired to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). The switch allows the IPC to detect when the key has been inserted in the ignition switch. The IPC uses this information for the brake shift interlock system and the chime warning system. For information on the brake shift interlock system, refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION EXTERNAL CONTROLS . For information on the chime warning system, refer to INSTRUMENTATION, MESSAGE CENTER, AND WARNING CHIMES .
