Product Information
Full details
The Lisle Remote Starter Switch is an essential diagnostic tool designed for professional mechanics and automotive DIY enthusiasts who need to crank the engine from the engine bay. It offers the key benefit of allowing a single person to perform compression tests, valve adjustments, or ignition timing checks without needing an assistant in the driver's seat. While this tool is incredibly robust, users should note that it is intended for short-term diagnostic use and is not a permanent replacement for a vehicle's ignition switch.

FAQs
Can I leave this switch connected permanently?
No, this tool is designed strictly for temporary diagnostic use and should be disconnected after the work is completed.
Is this safe to use on any vehicle?
It is compatible with most 12V systems, but you must ensure the vehicle is in Neutral/Park and the parking brake is set to prevent accidental vehicle movement.
What gauge wire is used in this switch?
The tool uses heavy-gauge copper wire designed to handle the high electrical load of starter solenoid engagement.
Does it require a power source?
No, it draws power from the vehicle's battery via the starter solenoid connection.
Can this be used on diesel engines?
Yes, provided the vehicle utilizes a standard 12V starter solenoid configuration.
Troubleshooting
Engine fails to crank when button is pressed
Verify that all alligator clips are securely attached to the solenoid terminals and ensure the vehicle battery is sufficiently charged.
Switch feels gritty or sticks
Check for debris around the button housing and ensure it has not been exposed to excessive grit; clean with compressed air if necessary.

Ensure the vehicle is in Neutral (or Park) and the parking brake is firmly engaged before connecting the switch. Connect the leads directly to the starter solenoid terminals as required by the vehicle's electrical schematic.

This tool is universal and compatible with most 12V automotive starting systems. Always verify your specific vehicle's solenoid wiring configuration before attaching the clips.
Care
To maintain the longevity of your Lisle 20750, keep the leads free of extreme heat sources like exhaust manifolds. Wipe the rubber insulation clean of oil and solvents after every use and store in a cool, dry place to prevent premature hardening of the cable.
