Hi If you have access to a meter check you have 12v between the blue wire - and the brown wire + in the control box -this will confirm the key switch is ok - next check the two fuses are ok -Marty

I agree with Marty, those keyswitch assemblies can be a bit of pain (thats why we made the c5alive wiring kits).

I'd spray the workings of the switch with contact cleaner/wd40 etc and give it all a good wiggle..

Karl didnt you make a harness without a pod and control box using a relay at one time? I would be interested in buying that if you made one up .Meanwhile wd40 and wiggling. ;D
