Product Overview
A lift that loses key power, works only when the key is held in one spot, or will not select the intended control station may have a worn switch. Battery power, emergency stops, fuses, interlocks, harness voltage, and terminals should be checked first so a new switch is not asked to solve a different fault.
This keyed selector provides the three operating positions used by the matching Skyjack control circuit. The key positions, terminal layout, mounting size, and 149605 number should agree with the original switch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this switch bypass a lift safety interlock? A: No. It should only restore the original key-selection function. Never bypass emergency stops, limit switches, or other safety controls.
Q: Why does the lift work when I wiggle the key? A: Worn switch contacts are possible, but loose terminals or broken wires behind the panel can react to the same movement.
Q: What is the safest way to confirm this fits? A: Use the compatible list as a starting point, then compare the original reference number, dimensions, connections, mounting details, production date, and equipment or engine serial information.
Q: Who manufactures this service part? A: This is a new aftermarket part. The brand and model names identify the applications it is intended to service.
