ABSTRACT:
A steering column mounted vehicle ignition lock mechanism and a floor-mounted transmission shifter have an interconnecting mechanism which prevents the steering column from being locked unless the transmission shifter is in the "Park" position. This mechanism also prevents the transmission shifter from being moved from the "Park" position when the ignition lock mechanism is in the "Lock" position. The interconnecting mechanism is generally comprised of a pair of slidable pins each cooperating with a housing to form recesses. The pins are moved in response to movement of the vehicle ignition lock and transmission shifter, respectively, so that the recesses will be properly aligned for movement of a latching member upon predetermined positioning of the slidable pins.
