Description/Abstract A vehicle is described having a body panel and an electrical system including a battery and a cable connecting the battery to the vehicle, the improvement of a locking switch in the electrical cable, which comprises: (a) a casing; (b) a cylinder lock connected to the lock casing section and projecting into the interior chamber thereof, the lock having a tumbler rotatable about a central axis of the lock; (c) the tumbler having a range of rotational movement of substantially 180/sup 0/ between open and closed positions; (d) a lock cam connected to the lock within the lock casing section chamber and rotatable about the central axis of the lock, the lock cam; (e) a circuit insulator received in the insulator casing section; (f) an electrically conductive primary stator; (g) an electrically conductive secondary stator; (h) the contact indentation being aligned with the tumbler where ball is positioned in contact with stator indentations with tumbler in its closed position; and (i) the contact ball engaging primary stater outer surface in a continuous, biased, rolling engagement along the path of travel of the ball through approximately 180/sup 0/.
