I need to replace my keyed on switch is there a better one to use with a volt meter

[coldair]

It become very difficult to turn and you can't just put the key in and go you have to play with it for a bit so is there a double pole switch that can be used for the power on the meter?

to clarify is there a 3 or 4 pole keyed switch that takes the place of the stock single pole keyed switch ?

here is an Amazon aftermarket switch that has 2 poles (4 contact points)

and here is the stock replacement

usaully a two pole switch will have 2 separate contact closures, one makes the circuit to enable the car and one can make a contact closure to say be used on a 12 volt circuit, like triggering a relay closure to power the 12 volt voltage reducer

The Ezgo switch has 1 36v and 1 12v input -
position 1 is off
position 2 is 36v on
position 3 is 36 and 12 volts on

I don't know of another switch that works like this but you could use 2 switches.

Here is how the stock 3 position switch is wired to the stock state of charge meter.

One thing I should point out is that the picture I attached makes it appear that there are 5 'tabs' on the back of the key switch. There are only 4 with both the red and green wires connected to the 'B' tab.

Also, if desired, you can wire the key switch to be more like a car switch where position 1 is off, 2 is accessories, and 3 is run+accessories.
