I thank you, and Irv Korey for his offlist answer. I would not have
thought that 12v could cause any such thing either. But careful
inspection of the wiring shows no frazzled ends, nothing suspicious.
The switch, such as it is, is a clean set of contacts. There are no
balls to fall out. Perhaps there exists a mass of metal dust which
has been shaved off by wear from something. Or maybe Joseph Lucas is
asserting his right make an electrical connection whenever and
wherever he chooses.
But why, Randall, did you send the link to Harbor Freight's loupe
set? Are you suggesting I take a closer, microscopic look? I assire

Cheers!
