AFTR MKT IGNITION SWITCH W/KEY **KEYS WILL NOT WORK WITH OEM
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the -AM suffix mean on the CR 072708-AM part number?
A: The -AM suffix denotes this is an aftermarket ignition switch replacement, not an OEM Crown component. It provides functional equivalence to the OEM CR 072708 for power control on Crown PE 4000 equipment but uses a different key profile.
Q: Will OEM Crown keys work with the CR 072708-AM aftermarket switch?
A: No. The CR 072708-AM uses a non-OEM key profile. OEM Crown keys will not fit or operate this aftermarket switch. This is a critical compatibility issue. If maintaining the original key set is necessary, use the OEM CR 072708 instead.
Q: What are the electrical specifications of the CR 072708-AM?
A: The CR 072708-AM is designed as a functional replacement with equivalent electrical specifications to the OEM CR 072708: four-position rotary operation, 12VDC 30A rating, panel mount, and screw terminals. Verify these specifications match your Crown PE 4000 or M Series equipment before ordering.
Q: Is the CR 072708-AM suitable as a temporary or emergency replacement?
A: The CR 072708-AM can serve as a functional emergency replacement for the OEM CR 072708 if the key profile difference is acceptable and you have operational keys for the aftermarket switch. For permanent installation or fleet standardization, the OEM CR 072708 is recommended to maintain key compatibility across all equipment.
Q: What equipment models does the CR 072708-AM fit?
A: The CR 072708-AM is compatible with Crown PE 4000 electric pallet jacks and Crown M Series Stackers, the same equipment as the OEM CR 072708. Confirm your specific truck model and serial range match PE 4000 or M Series designation before ordering.
