I AM BACK. :)
Sorry it took so long-- stuff--
I am talking about this at the Manteca rally
http://gmc49ers.blogspot.com
I am real big on having tools that do not modify the design and function of
the GMC
Does not come into operation, unless you have a problem ---
But
Will keep you on the road ( like the APC )
The TAP is a
- simple,
- cheap,
- clip-on
- every owner can install - them selves-
But can provide all of the services shown here ,
for NSSS, and START SWITCH mal-functions
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/data/6460/start_switch_talk.pdf
And here
http://minniebiz.com/gmcmotorhome/2011/05/22/how-to-jumper-the-park-neutral-safety-switch/
There are considerations that I will cover at the rally,,
But I have been running this way for a year, while I fix the problems

Eugene, I've seen those slides before but you are not answering my question.
Kerry Pinkerton wrote on Wed, 03 September 2014 06:27Sorry to be dense Eugene but the slides leave a question. I understand the separate start switch and the reasons. What I don't understand is the photo (slide 8)where a hand is holding SOMETHING in it's fingers and there is a red line pointing to a purple wire. It is labeled "THE TAP"....
What is the thing in the fingers?

Yea, Cal is coming in for a couple of days. Will be good to see everyone,
the WS rallies are a highlight for me. Janie isn't coming with me this
time-- she's too busy being off with her Mom and family. I retired her as
my CFO, it's much better living with the social director she sighned up to
be.

Yes Eugene, I looked at the blog and look at it regularly. I don't see anything that explains my fairly simple question. I understand that start switches and neutral safety switches can fail and a start button can get you going.
And no, I won't be at the west coast rally any more than you will be in Wisconsin so that won't help me much.
These cryptic posts you make don't always convey the information you may think they do. You beat up GMCMI regularly about them holding presentations hostage (which they do) and promote open access to information (which I support). However, what you may be missing is that a slide set by itself is only a portion of the information discussed at a seminar. Without supporting text or explanation, it's only part of the story.
I have no idea what "ONE" you are talking about and I read every post you make.

Hells Bells Eugene, why didn't you just say it was a line splice that goes HERE? Jeez Now things make sense.
Did you update the slide. I don't recall seeing that hidden slide before. It did not occur to me that I needed to look for drill down clicks.

Could not figure why the pix did not help
But
No problem, we had 230 hit on the blog that day,
So tanks for the interest
