What is the difference between an ignition switch and ignition cylinder?

The ignition switch and ignition cylinder are both critical components in a vehicle’s starting system, but they serve different functions.

Ignition Cylinder

• Definition: The ignition cylinder is the part of the ignition system where you insert your key. It is a mechanical component located in the steering column or dashboard that contains a series of pins (the tumblers) that correspond to the cuts on your key. When you insert the correct key and turn it, the tumblers align, allowing the cylinder to turn.
• Function: Its primary role is to provide physical access to start the vehicle. When the key is turned, it activates a mechanism that engages the ignition switch, allowing the engine to start.
• Components: The cylinder typically contains a lock tumbler mechanism and a keyway where the vehicle’s key is inserted. Once the key is turned, it sends a signal (via the ignition switch) to start the car’s engine.

Ignition Switch

• Definition: The ignition switch is the electrical component that the ignition cylinder activates. It is connected to the electrical system of the vehicle, usually located underneath the dashboard or on the steering column, and receives the signal from the ignition cylinder to start the car.
• Function: The switch turns the vehicle’s electrical system on and off. When the key is turned in the ignition cylinder, the ignition switch completes the circuit, allowing power to flow to the starter motor and other essential systems (like fuel injectors) that start the car.
• Electrical Role: This switch also controls other electrical systems such as lights, radio, and sometimes security systems.

Key Differences:

1. Location:
   • Ignition Cylinder: The part where you physically insert the key.
   • Ignition Switch: The electrical component that is activated by the cylinder to start the vehicle.
2. Function:
   • Ignition Cylinder: Mechanically allows you to insert the key and unlock the ignition system.
   • Ignition Switch: Electrically powers up the vehicle’s ignition and other essential systems.
3. Operation:
   • Ignition Cylinder: Requires the key to turn and engage the mechanism inside the cylinder.
   • Ignition Switch: Works through an electrical circuit that is engaged once the ignition cylinder is turned.

In simpler terms, the ignition cylinder is the physical part that holds the key and turns, while the ignition switch is the electrical part that powers the car’s systems when the cylinder is engaged.
