[thrasher]

I'm in wildwood till the 19-20th of Aug. I'll pull it apart this weekend and see what i can do.

Thanks for the post!

Wildwood NJ? I worked out there for a summer. Good times.

Thanks for the INTEL. I have to turn to 4 and then slowly turn to 3 and then wiggle/turn for 2. Only 1 and 4 are trouble-free.

Wow! Thanks. I had mine fixed once already but my said it was acting up again. I'll give this a try if she complains again.

Wow, thought I was the only one with the problem. I just replaced it with a used one that I found for $42.00. I will try cleaning the old one now thanks. Thats so funny cause mine started w/ 2 and 3 then worked up to 4.

No problems now!

im going to try this right now my ac has never worked on 2-3 and sometimes it flickers on 1 and 4 so i hope this works, nice write up

 

[MSProto03]

got the same problem gonna try this and hope it works.

 

[protegeFive]

I think im gonna have to try this as my position 2 and 3 keep flickering/not work.

Just a quick question:

am I removing wires from the white adapter and connecting them directly into the black part (not using the white adapter part at all) ?

anyone have the problem still after attempting this?

thanks

Sorry, they moved this to the how-to section and I didn't see it for a while.... To answer your question, YES, you'll still be using the white plastick block that holds the wires in place. Let us know how it goes, k?

thanks Weborific, i did what you said and also i open the rotated switch to clean it and put new greasse. That work very good!!!!!!

 

[cybrjoe]

my switch redo the same s***. I dont know what is the problem but when u clean contact (like this thread said) , it work but not for a long times.

 

[L8R]

Is English your second language?

My position 2 and 3 worked for about 2 months, now I am back to the same situation as I was in before.

 

[gsmooth]

great post!

with all the other problems I've been having i overlooked this 1 as being minor and I'd get around to it eventually.

mine flickers all the time @ any speed. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't

another montrealer in need of some P5 help!

Hi. I just posted a follow-up to this problem/solution here:

I tried to create a new thred here in the how-to section, but was not able to with my account. Hope this helps you guys!

 

[StealthWyvern]

Sweet! You guys dont know how much stumbling across this how-to made me feel! Here I thought my AC switch was going out! I'll have to try this within my next few days off.

So from what I've read so far, this mode again is just a temp fix? No one has found a true fix for the problem. Is the Temp fix worth the time to see if it will work permanently or not? Right now Texas is getting pretty hot and I hate having to jack with the switch so that I can run it on 2 or 3.
