What’s the goal of my Ford B-max’s ignition lock?
The ignition lock of your Ford B-max is a secureness component. Its aim is to secure your car from theft tries. It is placed on the steering column of your car, developed in 1931 by Abram Neiman. Its aim is to prevent your Ford B-max from starting by blocking the steering and the steering lock if it does not identify your car key. It is closely linked to the starter switch which will incorporate the key lock and an electric switch.
