Brent: The wire "thingy" is the actual mechanical device that converts roational motion (twisting the key) into linear motion and slides the buss bars inside the switch mounted on the lower portion of the steering column so that electrical energy is available to the electrical system when the key is turned. When the key is in the "OFF" position the rod slides the buss bars
and breaks the connection, and also mechanically locks the column. High Security in the manufacturers eyes ....only!
