Brocken Indicator Switch .... Not Anymore :-)

[Sir James]

I remember whining about it last year but for got to sort it till today ....

Anyways i took the screws and mirrow of to reveal the underside of the switch and couldn't find a problem ....

I sprayed some WD40 and left to soak while i went to the gym ....

After trying it again i noticed it seemed to move slight further and gradually become smoother .....

So it now works and im wondering if it was muck/sand what ever or just luck ...

Saved myself a small fortune and was definatly worth the effort ....

Glad yopu got it working freely, WD40 though good for releasing things but is poor lubricant. After a while it will go sticky again. It is best to lubricate it now, as its electrical I would use a silicon spray or propriety electrical lubricant

My indicator switch started working again fine after a bit of WD40 - I remember my last GS did the same.

I have 2 spare micro-switches from Farnell in case anyway!
