How to remove and install the Ignition Lock Cylinder and Ignition Switch on Mitsubishi Galant?

Before removing the ignition switch, disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. Afterwards, remove the under cover on the driver's side and the cover on the steering column. Disconnect the electrical connector located at the ignition switch and remove the key lock cylinder. For models equipped with a key reminder switch, detach the switch and proceed to separate the assembly from the ignition switch and lock cylinder. If anti-theft equipment (like an anti-theft system) is present, disconnect the key ring antenna and remove the immobilizer ECU harness below dash. At last, the retaining screws may be removed, and the switch taken off the steering column. To reinstall, follow the reverse removal procedure. The switch and lock cylinder must be placed in the ACC position before tightening the switch mounting screws. To remove the lock cylinder, disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal again then remove the driver's under cover and steering column covers. Place ignition key in the switch to the ACC position and depress the retaining tab with a thin tool to withdraw the lock cylinder from housing. To install, put the ignition switch slot in the ACC position. Now insert the lock cylinder until the retaining tab locates the housing, checking that the key works. Finish causing the installation by following the uninstallation steps again; for anti-theft models, if changing the immobilizer ECU, put a new immobilizer serial number identification sticker on the glove box panel.

Mitsubishi Galant Ignition Switch

The battery and start authorization of the vehicle are controlled by the Mitsubishi Galant Ignition Switch. The Galant Ignition Switch is mounted on the steering column. It works in concert with a lock cylinder. The lock cylinder will only turn when the matching key is inserted. In the LOCK position, the key can be removed. The steering shaft is immobilized. A shift interlock locks the automatic transmission in PARK. The system also prevents unauthorized use of the Mitsubishi Galant. Putting the key in ACC allows current to reach the vehicle electrical circuits, enabling features like the radio and power windows to run with the engine off. When you turn the key to ON, power is supplied to the engine management system as well as the electrical systems. Once you turn the key to the START position, power is delivered to the starter, the ignition, and the fuel injection circuits to crank the engine. When you release the key, a spring-loaded mechanism returns to ON after the engine fires. A coded key version is one that requires a small chip to be recognized by the vehicle computer before starting, thus preventing theft of Mitsubishi vehicles. In certain applications, a push button and a proximity fob perform the same power-routing actions once the computer acknowledges the fob signal and the brake pedal is depressed. A faulty Mitsubishi Galant Ignition Switch can cause the engine to have a hard start, stall unexpectedly, or momentarily cut power to the lights and other electrical systems due to worn key blades, internal wafers, or worn electrical contacts. Eventually, these Ignition Switch will develop faults inside.
