[Farmall] F450 Switch question

[Mike Sloane]

It does sound like a defective switch. I have just the reverse problem 
on my F 560D - I have to have the switch in just the right position to 
have it work (the only way I can tell is when the fuel gauge moves).

Or it could be something wrong in the way the ignition is wired...
