Savage switch problems - LEDs flickering
Gergely - 4/1/10 at 01:08 PM

Hi, I wonder if anyone had the same experience: The savage switches we have iun our car don't light up sometimes when they should, only after we have pressed and moved them a bit before. Then the connection inside seems to work again... It is the same with 2-3 of the switches and it was the case already when out of the box and tried outside of the car. What can be done to help this? Any ideas?
Thanks!
Gergely

I have some quite cheap maplin connectors as there in a stupid size and a wiggle usually helps but i dont think the build quality is great on them. If its almsot permanent maybe a blob of solder will help. One of ours was sent back as it was the switch at fault though.

bulb/led slack inside switch. This is what we usually find with the square variation of this switch in the workshop.
