Key in ign., turn the key to position #2, all the time watching the LED. Does the light blink once?

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I had undone the battery last night and for the heck of it reconnected it this am and it stared right up. What can you tell me about the blink once with the key at #2 position? As I think I'm not done with this issue. Thanks again Mark

If the LED blinks once, that means the key has been recognized.
