dash generator start/stop switch wiring - Gardner Yeaw - 09-05-2006 01:51 On my 78FC33 the gen start/stop switch would only stop the genset, not start it. The wiring diagram shows a DPDT switch, one side used for start and the other used for stop. My kitches switch is wired that way, but the dash switchis different. My dash switch is a DPDT with two extra lugs (8 connections in all). It seems that both the stop and start is run from one side of the DPDT. I moved the three connections to the other side of the switch and now it works. So that solved the imediate problem. What I don't understand is what are the other two connections? There are wires connected, but I don't know where they go. Has anyone seen this style switch or know the function of the extra lugs? Gardner 78FC33 dash generator start/stop switch wiring - Gregory OConnor - 09-05-2006 02:24 Glowplugs ???. is the extra side momentary? maybe the switch was a after factory replacement???. I have a 110 light switch in one dumptruck that runs the fan overide, not a ford item.

I have een going over my documentation/drawings with a magnifying glass (literaly)and I am slowly beginning to follow things. I just need to physically locate many of the junctions, dtc.
