The Buick Roadmaster Ignition Lock Assembly allows for instant engine activation while offering theft protection. The Ignition Lock Assembly is installed on the steering column. The assembly links the keyed cylinder to a switch. The switch allows current to flow to START, ON, ACC, or LOCK as commanded by the driver. When the key is turned to the START position, the Ignition Lock Assembly activates the starter motor, fuel system, and spark, allowing for a reliable start. The ON position permits the electronics to function. The ACC position allows the radio or windows to work without the engine idling. In contrast, the LOCK position stops power, locks the steering wheel, and holds the shifter in Park. In later years, a chipped key was included, causing the Ignition Lock Assembly to verify the presence of a digital code before allowing current to pass, a smart addition that hampers attempts at hot-wiring, which are often seen in Buick sedans. Drivers hail the component's long life, which complements the durable V8 character for which the Buick nameplate became a highway favorite. Compatibility encompasses the Roadmaster wagons and sedans from 1991 to 1996 as well as earlier generations, meaning a single dependable design supports a wide family within Buick. The Ignition Lock Assembly enhances fuel efficiency, as it ensures a continuous supply of electricity and timely sensor and injection firing. A locking column also enhances safety by preventing carjackers from steering the vehicle or the steering wheel moving by itself, a feature highly appreciated by Roadmaster owners who are investing to keep their collectibles pristine. This innovation in the Buick Roadmaster combines mechanical, electrical, and security devices into a single component, which reduces weight and complexity of under-dash wiring. The smooth key action and coded action give an added touch of luxury that matches the broad-shouldered stance for which the Roadmaster is known. With proven reliability, a smart anti-theft layer, and operability on different Buick Roadmaster trims, the Ignition Lock Assembly is a premium part that effortlessly gives you a smooth ride.
