This keeps coming up over and OVER.
Biggest problem is the automotive OFF, RUN, START switches being sold to the Humv DIY er's are a bit short on quality. Contact ratings, wear, pitting, dust, dirt and just plan imported junk not suited to the demanding HumV application. Sure, plug and play AND I would say should work fine. Reported here on SS, LOTS of problems. After a few month, maybe more... won't turn on, won't start or worst yet won't shut off.
Biggest issue is the on and off to start. Do it again and again the BS contacts pit and burn. Could stick on, or never turn on. BAD BAD bad.
IMO, here's a neat way to keep the factory look and have the security to disable with or without a key and save 60 bucks. Just make sure your switch is rated for 10 - 12 Amps. This simple circuit that anybody can do is not the one doing all the switching... That's the factory switch. Insert the security switch in the 11A lead. This is an ideal location to get the job done. Hide it where ever secure. Very important the on / off action of the switch contacts are not making and breaking under load. Leaving that to the factory OEM switch.
This set up HAS nothing to do with the PCB or EESS any more that the original switch. If you do think it a problem??? just bypass the switch or one could place an LED / resistor at the "B" to ground for just a 24 volt panel lamp for... system ready, armed, launch, contact. Anything after that and it to the TM's for the fix.
Suggestion :
Keyed Switch, 24/36 Volt, 2 Terminals, 2 Position (On/Off). Keys Included Fits TAYLOR-DUNN Part Number 7112110 Or a heavy duty toggle. With the right "packard connectors" one could just plug it in.
Power to the people, CAMO
