    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Yes, the short spring applies pressure to the U-shaped hoozits that slides across the contacts. That's the one that took me a few minutes to get back into position.

The longer one centers the slider, and lives in its own little 'hollow' inside that rectangular housing.

... and you found the home of that wavy spring washer.
 
Wow what patience & dexterity one must have when reassembling these little pita's, wish I had 4 hands!:D Got it all back together without losing or breaking anything, that's a feat in itself. and best of all, it even still works correctly too!:p but it always did when just setting there, it was always as soon as you start driving and depending on it that it would fail. So the true test comes tomorrow. Geez, fixing these bugs is a pita...but at least this one was fast & free...

Hopefully I'm wrong about the TSCU being the problem. Good Luck with that tomorrow.

you know something I don't? I went for a quik ride and found it to work approx.8 out of 10xs, before it was 1 if lucky out of 10x.
Strange how it "always" works when sitting and acts up when moving..that would have to do with that speed sensor circuit..?
Clymer says disconnect b/w lead at tscu then try, if works=bad unit, if no work=bad switch. Mine didn't but after having switch apart, I don't see that as a possibilty cause sw is all mechanical..furthermore it seems the B/W wire is just a ground thruout.

Update; just went for a ride, worked everytime:) versus never before..so maybe the switch clean worked..I'd say so..

I knew I should have bet on the problem being the switch. Drat!

Hey, congrats! When I cleaned mine, that unit was an ebay spare. I had nothing to lose if I failed. You, on the other hand...
