Neutral safty switch
I can't find the key that turns the back switch. I this k the front key is the one bit don't want to brake the key off in the switch. Do you think I could spay WD40 inside and not hurt it.

On my 1985 PT40 the remote start used a different key than the front ignition.

Like Ralph said- change out the toggle switch in the engine compartment. Be sure
to use a 30 AMP DPDT switch, not the usual 20-AMP junk that you commonly find at Wal-Mart. Also, if there are any splices in the small box, open the splice connections and check for corrosion. Mine would not start at AZ earlier this fall and it was a corroded switch along with a corroded splice. Try and use the adhesive-lined heat shrink butt connectors and ring terminals when you rewire the switch. That should keep the moisture out! You might also coat the new switch terminals with a nice helping of di-electric grease to postpone corrosion on the screw connectors. Since replacing the switch, my coach starter "hits" within a millisecond of turning the key. There used to be a delay of a few seconds or so. The neutral safety switches rarely fail in the Morse shifter. If they get weak, you can clean the little ball and spring assembly to assure better contact.

I know this sounds simple but I fought this problem on one of my PTs for a
while. Check the positive connection on the starter for cleanliness and tightness. Also clean the large battery cable connection where it attaches to the starter and check the tightness of the crimp on the cable. Oil can get on the connection and these engines vibrate and things can get loose. Worked for me.

I just ran into this problem today. I went to start the engine and the key did
nothing. My heart stopped for a minute then I remembered reading this string. I went to the back of the bus inserted the key toggled the switch from front" to "rear" turn the key and it started right up. I ran it for about 5 minute and shut it down. toggled the switch back to "front". I then inserted the key up front and it started. Not sure what the issue was, maybe just being temperamental today.
