I got to thank you years later after u made this video. My 2011 Cascadia shutdown on me while decellerating and I guess it was my ignition switch. I cycled the key and waited for gauges to cycle.. but battery, temp and oil pressure gauges stayed flat (they didnt come back up and truck wouldnt restart) Tried to keep my kool and not panic.. Found your video here.. tried flipping the big kill switch (as u call it.. cause mine doesnt light up in the on position so i couldnt tell, and the truck runs in the off position. Im pretty sure its not connected) I messged the key around and then turned it on to let gauges cycle again and they all came back up this time (you know i had a ray of hope then lol) .. she fired up. This old truck has 1million, 70k miles.. i havent made money with it yet.. had it over a year and recently got the fire back in me to get it goin so i been givin it the needed tlc. One thing to note about these Cascadias (i cant speak for the new gens)... I think some of us has hit the key while in the ignition, getting in the truck here n there.. i remember doin it maybe twice, in the many of these trucks ive driven. Its happened rarely but it could contribute to ignition switch wear. I knee'd one pretty hard and my knee did hurt as i remembered lol.
