Buick Rainier Ignition Lock Cylinder
The Buick Rainier Ignition Lock Cylinder ensures the driver's direct control over the engine, as it only permits the flow of electricity to the ignition and components after the correct key is inserted. Attached to the steering column, this Ignition Lock Cylinder connects mechanically to an ignition switch directing battery current to START, ON, ACC, or LOCK positions, allowing the engine to be fired up, audio and windows to be operated, or the whole system shut off, while simultaneously locking the steering wheel and gearshift. The first years of production of the early Buick and Rainier models applied a simple key-turn Ignition Lock Cylinder that could be forced with basic tools. Later models applied transponder-coded keys, so even if thieves defeat the metal tumblers, the computer blocks fuel and spark until the right code is read. Both styles share the same turning mechanism, but the coding in the design employs an electronic handshake that helps greatly reduce theft in Buick SUVs. Excessive wear can cause a faulty Ignition Lock Cylinder to jam or lose contact, making it hard for the vehicle to start, stalling the engine, or killing the components. Get your Rainier checked out before you find it unexpectedly silent at a green light due to Ignition Lock Cylinder failure.
Each OEM Buick Rainier Ignition Lock Cylinder we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part.
