[QUOTE="richg99, post: 431006, member: 4376"] Good idea regarding the switch(es). Obviously, it could also be something really serious. But, if you have a $5.00 Volt-ohm-meter, checking the function of both the 5-speed switch and the Momentary/OFF/Always-On switch would be worthwhile. Take all power off; put the VOM on the Ohm setting, and check for continuity when the switch(es) are moved. If they check out, then it is something beyond my limited abilities. I'd pull the head and look for a burned or loosened wire. I'm rarely lucky enough for that to be the problem, though. Take pictures of anything that you remove as you do it. regards, richg99 [/QUOTE]
