Ignition

Wondering how your Ford ignition works? It's complex, but a system all drivers should have a basic grasp of the ignition system of their car, truck or SUV.

How Does a Car Ignition Work?

Your ignition is the process that begins after a turn of the key or push-button start of your vehicle. It is essentially an ignition switch that kicks on the voltage from your car battery to an ignition coil which gives power to the spark plugs that ultimately create the combustion of fuel and oxygen in your engine's cylinders.

Signs of a Bad Car Ignition

Your car ignition switch can receive normal wear and tear over the year and begin to cause issues. Mainly a dead engine at start, engine stalling, a locked key cylinder, no power, or strange ticking noises when starting engine. If you experience any of these symptoms, have you ignition inspected by a professional Ford technician, than order the right fitted parts from our online auto parts catalog.
