Thing is, that there is probably still power applied even when "off". A circuit diagram would be needed to say for sure, but that's my guess, otherwise, the touch pad couldn't be activated after it's turned off. Adding an external switch that can handle the max current rating of the light...

The 3-lever switch is connected directly to battery and can be used without the in-tank pump running, for example. A capacitor may or may not do it, a very large zener diode or a varistor large enough to absorb a load dump could do it. Look at the MX-7777 guts (designed to handle all...

The simple solution to this is to add a toggle switch in the feed line (wire #10 to "F" terminal) and making sure it is OFF when the engine is cranked or shut down, just like we are supposed to do with the radios/intercoms etc. Running the starter can produce some horrendous voltage spikes, in...

Guess I'm one of the "conservatists", my belief is that some things can't be made better, just differently....

The military specifications or requirements must have changed also, the tactile feedback part is no longer present. Look at a vintage military radio and note the shape of the knobs and controls, designed to be "felt". As previously discussed, the lock lever on the 3-lever switch may fail in...
