The car ignition switch is located in the dashboard or on the steering column. What it does is that it takes power from the car batery and directs it to the electrical componets of the car as well to all accessories. It is also used to transfer the power to the starter of the car to start the engine when you turn a key in it. If your key turns in the ignition but the car won't start, most probably the starter doesn't receive the power meaning that your ignition went bad and now either has to be fixed or replaced. If your ignition goes bad most of the times the key will just not turn in the ignition or it will turn but the radio and lights would not turn on.
