Top right "5" reads replace
Left top "15" reads replace

Yes, all of those work. I don't think it's the switch because it's not the same symptoms BUT I just did the trick you told me about, pressing the gas to the floor and trying to start her up and she fired up for a couple of seconds and then cut off!

Does that help at all?
