Went to start my h4 this afternoon. hadn't ran her since April. turned the key on red light came on turned the key. nothing. so put charger on it for 1/2 hour. went back and still nothing. so pulled the battery, cleaned all cables and such. still nothing. i said oh lord what's happening. just then it looked like an angels sitting on my console point down to a button. lord surely works in mysterious ways or my old timers disease stopped for a second. running great.

After having several trucks and multi units and a ring of key - simplified life and bought several ignition switch units all keyed the same and any unit with a push button is now key switch - kept the GM trucks keyed original but everything else has the same key .
When I sold a unit - it got a different switch installed before it left the yard .

Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel.
