Genuine Mercury Capri Ignition Switch

The Mercury Capri Ignition Switch allows drivers direct and secure control over the starting and powering of their cars while integrating the lock cylinder and electrical routing in one small unit. Since 1970 and located on the steering column, the Ignition Switch connects the battery to the starter, ignition, and component circuits and will only turn when the proper key slides into the lock, sending current to the START, ON, ACC, or LOCK positions selected. The key applied on earlier dash-mounted designs on classic Mercury Capri models would fit these ignition locks. Those locks did not include any built-in steering lock, however, so the column version was a theft-deterrent upgrade. It clamped the wheel and, on automatics, held the shifter in Park when in the LOCK position. A coded key, which raised protection further, in the 1980s matched the Ignition Switch to an embedded chip, which had to match computer approval before the engine could fire. Many drivers prefer push-button systems these days, but an older conventional column Ignition Switch continues to be installed in aging Mercury Capri models. Contacts can wear out or tumblers can jam, resulting in no-crank starts, sudden stalling, or flickering components. A new spec Ignition Switch will replace a worn-out factory piece. It will restore crisp key action and reliable energy flow for your Mercury Capri.
