ANTI-THEFT IGNITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY

摘要

An ignition system that includes an ignition switch assembly (10) for preventing the short-circuiting of the ignition system is provided. The ignition switch assembly (10) includes a contact carrier assembly (16) that is in electrical switching contact with an electrical component, such as a printed circuit board, of the ignition system. The printed circuit board contains substantially all electronics of the ignition system separate and apart from the ignition switch assembly. Upon removing the ignition switch assembly from the ignition switch system, a switching contact member of the printed circuit board is destroyed thereby effectively preventing the ignition system from being short-circuited or "hot wired."
