Post by: Martin_1962 on 22 July 2007, 23:23:39

Must be very quick and easy to do, selector switch going mad - easiest way to dry it please?

Take it off, remove the cover and dry it out....not hard to do at all.

Strangely, despite my tractor box playing up, the switch seems OK (LEDs behaving) - I guess the switch is mounted higher than you think.

If yours is knackered and won't dry, let me know ;)

Hi Martin
I had the same thing 3 weeks ago after the heavy rains / floods then. I chickened out of taking the switch completely off, because I struggled a bit to get the plug off, so I simply unbolted it, let it hang on the loom, unscrewed the cover and dried the internals with a hair dryer in situ. Has worked a dream since (where is that wood).

Good Luck, Pat

If it is dry today I'll jack it up and have a quick look

SO nothing to worry about
