This has been a safety feature of this van because it was used for school bus driving: an external switch where all the electric power could be switched off. This was very useful as an additional security device - nobody would be able to drive the van away if I switched this off and took the key away.
But it had problems: sometimes there was abad contact, and I was not able to start the vehicle. And also, when the switch was off, the radio settings had to be reset. So this was getting a pain.
Therefore I decided to remove this switch.
Now there is a hole in the front... but I do have always electric power, without any problems.
