The last position to the right has no continuity with any other terminals ! ( Just like off pos or to the left ) The FS is working on my question ! Thanks. easymoney

To the left is OFF and Locked, and to the right is just OFF. If you take the key out of the switch in the locked position, you need to put it back in to move the switch to on. If you turn the car off by putting the switch right to the OFF position, you can remove the key, but still move the switch to ON and start the car. It's one of the features left from the old days when people trusted each other with not stealing their cars! Those accustomed to the finest...find it in Chevrolet. 1953 Belair Convertible 1951 2dr Deluxe Sedan 2015 GMC SLE 4X4
