This is for the 124, not the 124G which has a different light switch. I just got one of these and its in excellent shape. The meter does work, but the switch sticks to off when the hood is opened. I may be wrong in my diagnosis, but it seems like the switch is a flexible metal strip not unlike a hair clip. When you close the hood it pushed the switch away from contact with the meter. When you open the hood it should snap back into contact and turn the meter on. Right now it stays stuck at off. I have to remove the hood and push it to on. And one know how to fix something like this? I have no idea why the switch is so ridged that it won't spring back to its place anymore. Here's pictures of it on and off: http://www.flickr.com/photos/35052427@N02/6100409214/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/35052427@N02/6100409518/ |
