⚙️ Key Features

• 205 applications across D, V, AQ, B, BB and DP
• Only ten grams from starter switch 856670 - order by designation, not weight

🔌 Function

Makes and breaks the starting circuit at the helm, energising the starter when the key or button is operated.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Starter turns intermittently, or only when the key is held hard over
• No response at all from the helm with a known-good battery
• Switch feels notchy, sticky or does not spring back
• Terminals heat-marked, discoloured or corroded
• Starter keeps cranking after the key is released

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the battery, main earth and starter feed before condemning the switch - all three give the same symptoms
• A switch that will not release keeps the starter engaged; isolate the battery before working on it
• Starter switch 856670 is the other one listed here on quite different fitment - order by part number
