An operator might first notice the engine cranking slowly or not starting at all, indicating a loss of electrical power. If ignored, intermittent power failures can become more frequent, potentially leaving the vehicle stranded. The ultimate consequence is a complete loss of electrical function, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Before removing the old switch, carefully label all wiring connections to ensure correct reinstallation. Avoid overtightening the terminals, as this can damage the switch housing or the wiring.
