Touch Pad Master Switch Repairs

[Oldgrunt]

I have a touch pad master switch on my Deuce that I have back feed and now doesn't work, have burnt a resister or something. I've been told that the resister can be replaced. Anyone know where to get one, and a check list or scamadic so that I can replace the correct part?

Bjorn or Patrick should be along soon to help. Just leave that 3 lever switch in and forget about it!

You wouldn't jump from a plane

Don't you just wait untill it get close to the ground and then step out? Wayne

It helps if you start rolling before you touch down!

Never seen a scamadic for that thing, may be proprietary.... Probably difficult to repair with surface mounted chips and all.
Follow gimpy's advice and install a real switch. The electronic one should have an on/off switch IMHO, like the warning label says "Do not start vehicle while radio (=electronic devices) is/are on"...

Do a search. I had a thread on this with part numbers. Most of the time one or all of the four surface mount relays are bad. I had mine replaced but the relays are kind of expensive and I had an electronics person experienced in surface mount components to the repair for me. I am on dial up so I can't find the thread for you.

Does anyone else have the TM numbers to make the repairs ? I have looked high and low thru the TM's with no luck. I would really like to have the touch pad back in the truck and use the three lever for a spare.

Chuck, I searched ALL the threads you have started. No info found other than how to operate said switch. I did like the Red-Green show thread though.

the parts are available from places like digikey, i have one here i need to repair. if i had several to do at the same time it may be cost effective. the switches are only something like $125 new.
