I am confused by all terms. How can the key be in run and the engine not started? Isn't "run" next after "ignition"? (1. release steering wheel, 2. ACC, 3. ignition, 4. run)
This one has "run" before "start"

I saw somewhere that run was after when the various warning lights on the dash turn off just after it starts. I think that is when my isolator is energized.
EDIT some more: In desperation I looked at the driver's manual :) and it explains there are five positions with my MH. Acc, Lock, Off, On, and Start.
"On" is when you can see if the dash warning lights work(except the brake) "Start" cranks the engine, then the key returns to "On" and stays there while the engine runs
