The ignition lock is the steering-column gateway to everything: the 7-tumbler cylinder reads the key, the integrated electrical switch feeds the dashboard and starter circuits, and the anti-tamper features protect the column, as the live page describes. This assembly arrives as a working set, die-cast alloy housing, steel lock pins, precision tumblers for smooth key action, factory-style electrical pigtails for quick hook-up, and the keyed-alike cylinder with its fob ready to use once programmed.
The live FAQ names the symptoms: a stuck or jammed key, intermittent starting, and lost key security. Tumblers wear oval after fifteen-plus years of daily key cycles, switches develop dead spots that mimic starter problems, and a lost or stolen key set makes a fresh cylinder with new keys the clean way to restore security.
