Re: [T3] Generator Light/funny voltage


Just remove the buzzer.  Both of my late models had their buzzer removed
-- it's really annoying (which is its purpose of course)!  As for the
switch, they are extremely simple, mechanical switches.  Did you try
cleaning up the metal with a wire brush?  Lubricate the sliding assembly?

BTW volks, please trim your messages down as there's no need to include
all of the message text when replying.  TIA! :-)
