Mercury Bobcat Ignition Lock Cylinder
Drivers can control engine start and components with a Mercury Bobcat Ignition Lock Cylinder's key control. After the 1970 model year, every vehicle contains a manufactured Ignition Lock Cylinder located on the steering column. This component accepts a distinctive key that releases a locking pin inside. After this, the electrical switch sends battery power to the ACC, ON, or START circuits. When in lock position, it cuts electrical power, immobilizes the steering shaft, and with automatic vehicles, locks the shifter in Park, preventing roll-aways and theft. The early models of Mercury Bobcat incorporated a basic mechanical Ignition Lock Cylinder that can be easily defeated by thieves using some brute force. As drivers move towards the mid-1980s, the Mercury added coded keys in the Bobcat model. As a result, a chip must handshake with the computer before cranking. Thus, even if a forced switch is applied, much remains silent. Although the two styles of ignition switches produce the same twist-to-start feel, their security features are quite different. The later type incorporates electronic verification without changing the driver's routine. The Ignition Lock Cylinder can become sticky or fail to crank the engine when the wafers, contacts, or keys wear. If the lock cuts off engine power when going over bumps, it's a warning. When this happens, bring your Mercury Bobcat in for service. It's replacement time for reliable owners. The Ignition Lock Cylinder is essential for ensuring the vehicle's security.
