No reversing lights.. sometimes
 

Here is one I have not come across before.
My ZTT 190 sometimes has no reversing lights. Only happens when it has been sitting for a few days especially at this time of year. Cold/rainy etc
Drive it a few miles and they magically start working again ! :shrug:

reversing switch connections or switch itself ?
anyone come across this before?

A---The switch.

B--- Half the members of the forum.---;););)

Well blow me down. New switch it is then ! :bowdown::bowdown:

Funny you should mention it, here's mine ready to fit when I can be bothered:D

Had the same problem on mine, and the reverse sensors stopped working as well :duh:

If you have a lathe, carefully take 50 thou of the mounting face of the switch, so it'll tighten in slightly further. Mine's worked perfectly again ever since without the expense of a new switch ;)

Thanks for that. I do have a lathe but unfortunately,, it is a wood lathe !
50 thou might be interesting !:}

Check out Greeners guide in the How To section.

It’s an easy job but the electrical connector was a pig to work out without his photo as I recall.
You’ll need a long (pretty sure 19mm) socket.

I ‘repaired’ mine with a blob of solder on the end of the plunger (French Mike tip) but it didn’t last long.
For the low cost of a replacement I’d say just buy a new one.

SKS - I guess it’s just worn out of tolerance to the point where, when warm, it expands enough to work but not when cold.

Colvert - I was surprised to find there wasn’t a sealing washer on the one I took off. I almost posted a question about it here at the time. I fitted the new one without it- ‘seems’ ok.
Anyone else found this to be the case?

I would imagine you could file off 50 thou on the nut so it fits in further.
