haha @ the title & question if u mean ignition interlock device.... its a built in mechanism mandated for multiple or felony DUI offenders..... you need to blow in the machine to start the car - on top of that you also need to blow every 20-40 minutes when driving to ensure you didnt try to trick the system with a friend. According to a DUI program instructor, that thing will shut down a car even at 65 mph if you dont blow in it when required

The offender has to pay for an expensive install as well as monthly calibrations

Alright so I decided to google it. . kinda cool.

Q: What is a interlock switch on a 1992 nissan 4x4 truck?

Answer

If you turn the ignition to the on position, and then press the interlock button, you don't have to press the clutch pedal down to start the truck.
