It's the nut and bolt version! Now I am really thankful it worked....:ROFLMAO:

SUCCESS!!! A little WD40(A Lot), a little electrical cleaner(A Lot), a 3/8 wrench to loosen the long screws, and a BFH on the head of the switch(after removing the very Stuck knob), and it switches NORMALLY now(Remember, it still switched physically, but no change in voltage). I now have all...

So..... Many...... Wires...... :eek:

Thank you Ray! I might have to take you up on that offer, but I will try my darnedest to get her freed up and working first.

Got it! I never actually separated the switch for the WD40, so basically it's just on the outside of the reconnection switch at this point. I will pick up some of the spray solution as well before I separate, and give it a good dousing with whichever electric cleaner I can find. I did give it...

Thank you sir. When I get back out to the barn, I will definitely try to the loosening the bolt method to let it seep in. The switch does indeed move now(albeit not easily), but the voltage is stuck at 120V across L1-L3, ~70V from L1-L0, and ~35V from L3-L0 when in the 120/240V position, so it...

Will do! I wasn't 100% sure it was in the reconnect switch, just about 60% sure :) I will change it directly!

Thank you! Checking it out now. Justin

and like you said, I always have the option of hard wiring it to 120/240 although whacking it with a large hammer suddenly seems much easier than tracing all the wires for a hard wire solution. Ha

Thank you for the quick response! That's kind of what I was thinking on the switch... I will try the methods discussed here(loosening the long bolts just enough to squirt some WD40 in there) and the Tippetty tappetty with a brass punch and a hammer.... one man's tap is another man's hard blow...

Hey Guys, First off I want to thank everyone for their contributions on this forum. I am a "long time listener, first time caller" and have gained a wealth of information from this forum. I currently own 3 MEP803A's, 2 802A's, and the hell spawn 003A(kidding, but more on this later). I am...
