The Ignition Lock Cylinder is a feature applied in Dodge Dakota vehicles and its purpose is to enable the driver to start the vehicle's engine by simply inserting and then turning a key into a lock. This component is incorporated into the ignition switch that supplies electricity to the required circuits in the car if the right key is inserted. Traditionally the Dodge Dakota models featured the conventional column mounted ignition lock cylinder meant for promoting the car safety and security by not allowing the car to start without the key. In the past few years, the developers have incorporated the coded ignition keys, which are characterized by a computer chip that sends signals to the car's computer, thus, the engine can only start when responding key is used. However, the Ignition Lock Cylinder was made better over these years and yet it is still prone to wear- down and malfunction which makes it hard to turn the ignition and start the car. In general characteristics of the Dodge Dakota model, the feature of the Ignition Lock Cylinder has also undergone changes, covering the need in the reliability of options that define car control, distribution of security, and convenience.
