I presume since you were able to start the car when it first arrived that you know to click your theft switch on your key fob, have the car in neutral, depress the clutch, flip on the fuel pump switch before flipping on the starter switch. If your car is fuel injected, the fuel switch is even more important as a carburetored car might have some fuel in the bowls and will start before running out of fuel - but at least it would cough and run a bit until the fuel in the bowls is gone and you figured out that you forgot to flip on the fuel pump switch.
Thanks for the information. Yes, it did start and the transport owner drove into my warehouse. I was turning the key to start before I hit the key fob. I will check the inertia switch.

Does one of the three lights between the speedometer and the tach come on when the engine starts? What is the function of the middle red light?
