The Ignition Lock Cylinder in Chrysler Cirrus specifically provides the primary purpose of allowing starting of the car's engine by use of a key. This feature is contained in the ignition switch that provides power by the battery to the relevant circuits whenever the right key is inserted. This generation Chrysler Cirrus has a conventional column-mounted ignition lock cylinder that enhances security of the car and minimizes theft, something set in place in the 1970's. Year after year, the Chrysler Cirrus cars have relied on high security features, and one of them has been the coded ignition key that has to interface with the car's computer and if the car recognizes the coded key only then can the engine be started. Still, the Ignition Lock Cylinder has become much more sophisticated over the years and have been known to become worn and malfunctions causing Engine Drive-Ability issues or for the engine to shut down unexpectedly.
