The ignition switch generally has four positions: off, accessories, on, and start. Some cars have two off positions, off and lock; one turns off the car, and the other allows the key to be removed from the ignition. When the key is turned to the accessories position, certain accessories, such as the radio, are powered; however, accessories that use too much battery power, such as window motors, remain off in order to prevent the car's battery from being drained. The accessories position uses the least amount of battery power when the engine is not running, which is why drive-in movie theaters recommend that the car be left in the accessories mode during the movie.

The engine would shut down, but the rest of the vehicle would act as if the ignitoin was in the acc on position.
It will not hurt anything to leave the key stuck in the ignition on ACC in a Mazda van for short periods of time. The ACC slot on the ignition allows the driver to use accessories such as the air conditioner and radio without the car being in motion. If the key is left in this position for too long it can run down the battery in the car.
The ignition is live or hot and has power available. The term neutral does not really apply.
The key to my ignition broke off in the ignition. Luckily, I was able to insert the remainder of the key in the ignition and turn on my car. In order to fix the problem, I had to take my car to the dealer and I am pretty sure they removed it and installed a new ignition "key hole" keyed to my car. It is a 1990, and I believe the problem happened approx 1993?
Yes. After inserting the key, turn it counterclockwise one click.
Turn ignition to acc for 15 min then try to start . you have to leave the key in the acc position for the 15 min or it want rest. After the 15 min the anti theft light should go off and you should be able to start the car
Ignition switch worn and needs replacement
No it doesn't. The acc wire on your stereo is for accessory from your ignition switch. That's so you can turn your car key back and run your stereo without turning on the engine.
I've heard that leaving it in the ignition in the ACC position for at least 30 seconds does this, but I'm not positive about that.
