I bought a YALE forklift for the price of junk steel, didn’t come with the tank, battery or key.I wasn’t sure what kind of key I would need, but after fooling around with different keysI couldn’t make it start, so I ordered this ignition switch, it came with (2) keys , it was just likethe original YALE. The forklift had some other electrical problems but after two weekendsI’ve got it running only to find out that the radiator was leaking.The cheapest radiator for this forklift was $600.00, instead I took the old radiator to a radiator placeand have them flush it and fix it for $120.00.I tuned it up and replace the old seat, looks and works great !!It happens to be a 5000 pounds capacity model 2003 Yale Forklift.

The switch was a perfect replacement for my forklift. Quality was as good as the OEM switch and it works great! Plug and play for us.

Ordered this as a replacement ignition for my Yale Forklift and it was an exact fit. On top of that it was the same key way so I have more spares.

But this ignition switch on the first and just got it today, pretty quick service, I know that’s relative though. Bought it for my 2007 Freightliner Columbia 120, worked flawless, only disappointment is that it did not have option for ACC in order to run accessories without having the fuel system priming. I reckon it might not be an issue though. My automatically shut off once it’s primed. So you could turn it over to the right one click and still run everything. Was pretty much a direct replacement for what I had in there but my other switch had ACC. Other than that, worked flawless

The panel for the switch had to be cut out some so the switch could be inserted flush for the bezel nut to screw down all the way.
