The Ignition Lock Cylinder in Mercury Cougar Automobiles is thus an important one since it is used in turning the engine on with the assistance of the correct key. This is connected to the ignition switch and it is used to provide power from the battery to the starter, ignition and the fuel injection when turned on. In the past, ignition lock cylinders have been mounted at the steering column so as to increase the level of safety and security of a car since dash-mounted types of ignition lock cylinders were more prone to theft. Mercury Cougars of different years have had different styles of the ignition lock cylinders such as the ones with coded keys that contain computers for enhanced security. These developments make it possible that if for any reason the lock cylinder is breached the car cannot be started without the right key. Still, ignition lock cylinders are not spared from wearing out and malfunctioning, which can result in problems in starting the engine or sudden power loss in operation. It is therefore important to always service and replace these parts especially when they are worn out beyond what is advisable.
