This is the current loader controller the...

    Well for the time being you may be right, I did just buy a new switch for fifty bucks. But now I have a spare that I can definitely play with and see if I can crack open.

    L 1500 key switch

    Tried that, and graphite first, Nothing Also tried that. If I remember, one of the screws on one of the switches would not come loose to save my life, and it twisted, the whole connector, may have been this one? It worked fine before I re-did my harness, I may have screwed it up :eek:
