Title: input selector switch has 8 clicks [resolved]
Post by: kip.duff on March 01, 2017, 07:26:05 PM
My input selector switch has 9 positions/8 clicks- thought it was only supposed to have 3.

If you pop the switch off (it shouldn't be unnecessary to remove more than the four teflon wires that connect to the switch, though I'd suggest removing them from the 5 lug strip they all connect to), you'll see that there's the nut, a lock washer, and then another washer with a bent tab in it.  The bent tab on that washer sets the number of stops for the switch, and if you turn the switch fully counter clockwise, you can then experiment with finding the correct hole to set the number of stops (I believe it's the second or third hole, it's labeled "3").

The switches all come factory set with 3 positions, but sometimes that washer moves around and can relocate itself to give you those redundant positions.

Yes- a bit tricky.  I believe for that to work you have to rotate the switch shaft all the way counter clockwise before installing the tab washer.  I also got three positions by rotating the shaft all the way clockwise and installing tab in hole 9.  Thanks, Kip........

I now have tab in hole 3 as described in the video.
