Mazda B2000 Ignition Switch is the switch that activates the electrical and engine systems of the pickup so that the driver only has to turn or press it and the truck will start. In the conventional design, the Mazda B2000 Ignition Switch uses a mechanical key to unlock the steering column and to short the starter circuit to the starter solenoid, parts of the fuel delivery, and cabin amenities such as lights or the radio. In subsequent production years, an immobilizer could be added to the same core unit to make the truck crank only when the transponder signal of the key matched, which provided a theft deterrent without modifying the plug-and-play replacement process. Even later versions replace the metal key with a push-button, but the principle remains the same, that the control module has to give permission prior to the starter motor switching on. This Ignition Switch controls the flow of power in phases, initially on the parts, then on the ignition hardware and lastly on the starter to allow the owner to listen to the radio or roll the windows down without needing to start the engine. Each assembly is specifically developed to fit Mazda wiring harnesses, so a broken one can normally be detached and replaced by a new one easily without the complex reprogramming applied to restore a B2000 to normal starting operation. The outcome is a reliable part that is still serviceable and prevents Mazda cars from unauthorized starts.
