RE: [ihc] Attention Wire Heads : A "Signal" For Help!

Hi Howard,

: I'd suggest you first verify you're getting 12V out of the 
: brake light switch, then pull the wheel and clean the dried 
: out grease and crud out of the switch, relube it, and see if 
: that fixes the problem.  That was John Stricker's problem a 
: few months back when he had similar symptoms.

Hmmm... Seems to make sense. A prudent plan - noted! Thanks, as always
Howard. I think I have a can of contact cleaner just for the purpose.  Since
I'll be re-lubing anyhow.  BTW, what lube is preferred in this region?  Is a
dash of white lithium too much?  Or are talking something really light - a
silicone spray or something? I'd imagine you'd want something with a fair
amount of "stick-to-it-iveness" (That's for Hofs!). But not a real dust
magnet (e.g. *NOT* WD-40, dirt magnet extraordinaire!). 

Goal for tonight: "last hurrah" search for the meter. I'm sure I have a
little neon light type tester somewhere, but I *HAD* a nice meter and want
to know where its gotten off to!

Cheers,

--Pete
