Mercury Lynx Ignition Switch
The Mercury Lynx Ignition Switch has a specific purpose. It directs battery power to start the engine, operate the components, and lock the steering column when in the parked position. Initial Mercury Lynx designs had their Ignition Switch mounted on the steering column. This metal key served many purposes and allowed the driver to turn the switch to the LOCK, ACC, ON, or START position. The Ignition Switch received current when the key was in START, and the engine received current in the ON position. A coded key was added to later 1980s editions to ensure the security of the engine. The computer had to identify the chip for the Ignition Switch to allow the engine to run. Thus, hot-wiring tricks became useless. As time went on, Mercury Lynx versions were designed for push-button start. Here, the fob communicates with the vehicle computer instead of inserting keys like earlier versions. A button on the dash replaces the mechanical Ignition Switch tumblers. This helps to cut down on moving parts and makes the car more reliable. Notwithstanding these differences, every Mercury Lynx design locates the Ignition Switch at the nexus of starting, power distribution, and theft deterrence.

Mercury Lynx Ignition Switch Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to replace the ignition switch on Mercury Lynx?A:Remove the negative cable from the battery, the next step involves the removal of the five screws that holds the lower shroud of the steering column before taking of the shroud. Next, take off two bolts and nuts of the steering column with the support bracket that was mentioned earlier and then lower the column. Depower the electrical connector of the ignition switch and the turn the key lock cylinder to ON (RUN). For the models of 1981-1986, use a 1/8-inch drill to remove the shear-head bolts joining the switch to the lock cylinder housing and, then, take out these bolts using an EX-3 easy-out tool or any other similar to it. In cases where the ignition switch is installed on the upper part of the models of 1987 to 1990, two screws should be unscrewed to detach the ignition switch from the actuator pin. Assure that the actuator pin slot of the new ignition switch is in a Run position because a new replacement switch assembly is designed to be in On (Run) position. Ensure that the ignition key lock cylinder is in a position that you would like it be in in the vehicle, this being approximately the RUN position which you get when you rotate the ignition key lock cylinder some 90 degrees counter clockwise from the LOCK position. Screw the ignition switch onto the actuator pin, and slightly flip the switch if it is necessary to align with the mounting holes. For the models produced from 1981 to 1986, screw in the shear head bolts to the desired torque and pop the heads off. For the models of 1987-1990, tighten the bolts as tightly as possible andto the torque indicated. Endure that the electrical connector is connected to the switch, reconnect the negative cable of the battery, insert the key in the ignition and operate the switch in the ignition positions including the START and ACC and ensure the steering column is locked at lock position. Lastly, lift the steering column up and invest the two bolts and nuts that fasten it to the support bracket and tighten until the recommended torque is attained then fit the lower shroud of the steering column and screws.
