Chevy Corvette Ignition Switches & Lock Cylinders

It's widely known that the engine won’t start without the operating ignition system. In fact, without the ignition turned on, none of the on-board consumers (except for most lights) receive electric current, and it makes the installation of the device that would limit access to this system quite logical. Called the ignition lock cylinder, this device has been in use by automobiles for about as long as the concept of a motor vehicle exists. The idea is very simple: the ignition lock, just like any other lock, has a unique pattern providing access to only those who have the key. The ignition lock closes the circuit while permitting electricity to flow to the consumers.

Although modern cars, including the recent generations of the Chevy Corvette, rely on various electronic guards, a simple ignition key is still considered one of the most effective security means. The problem with the key or lock cylinder is that they can physically wear. As a result of that, one quite simply won’t be able to start the engine.
