I see your humor but what the hell do you call IT if not an ignition switch...the diesel still ignites when it hits the compressed and heated environment of the cylinders??? Starter switch, key hole switch, on switch...you know what I'm talking about...

Its the elecrtrical component attached to the back side of the tubler located to the right of the steering column and is responsible for applying electircal power to the car's systems that are necessary to start and operate the vehicle and at this point in time can only be actuated with the application of a well worn key.

P.S. my wagon always lands right side up...and no it isnt sitting on the driver side doors.
