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 .
