Tom:
You are con-fuse-ed--- The switch is actually activated when the pin
is out; it's normally held in the pushed-in position by the switch
activator thingy (technical term) on the brake shaft. When you apply the
brakes it releases the pin and you get continuity (light on) when it's
in the out position.
If it's a bum switch, Eish sells a replacement that's non original
but pretty cheap. Someone else has exact reproductions available for
more bucks.
By the way, I like Tom Bowes' lightbulb trick...pretty neat.

Is your's the original little metal box? Check it with an ohm meter, just don't ask me how or what to look for ....... Wait, yes you can. Hook up the meter to each side of the box-one on power in, one on power out. There should be no signal. Then, activate the switch.(push the pin in) There should be continuity then. If you have continuity before activating the switch, the switch is bad. As always, I could be totally off my nut! HTH! |
