An ignition interlock with PRNDL powering switch has a mechanism for locking a lock slider in position for prohibiting movement of a gear selector. The mechanism includes a plate for locking the slider in position and a cable for connecting with the gear selector. A sensor is associated with the mechanism and a PRNDL indicator. The sensor senses the position of the lock slider such that upon activation of the sensor, power is applied to the PRNDL indicator, causing a display within the PRNDL indicator to illuminate.
