1. Re: Hot Light Switch (score: 1): Author: rdonahue@holli.com (Robert J. Donahue); Date: Tue, 1 Jul 1997 01:18:46 -0600 (MDT); I noticed that the light switch on my TD runs warm. A little investigation revealed that the hot part was a flat metal strip on the back. I believe this to be a fusable link and the heat is probably; /html/mgs/1997-07/msg00003.html (8,626 bytes)

Re: Hot Light Switch (score: 1): Author: Billy Zoom <billyzoom@earthlink.net>; Date: Tue, 01 Jul 1997 13:28:18 +0000; Actually, heat is the result of the voltage drop due to the resistance of the wire. There shouldn't be a voltage drop across the switch.; /html/mgs/1997-07/msg00034.html (6,796 bytes)
3. Re: Hot Light Switch (score: 1): Author: Len Bugel <bugel@bianca.sms.k12.vt.us>; Date: Tue, 1 Jul 1997 16:43:22 -0400 (EDT); Really actually, the voltage drop is due to the resistance _times_ the current; the heat is due to the current squared times the resistance. There should be no voltage drop across an ideal switch or; /html/mgs/1997-07/msg00037.html (7,225 bytes)
4. Re: Hot Light Switch (score: 1): Author: Billy Zoom <billyzoom@earthlink.net>; Date: Tue, 01 Jul 1997 14:33:14 +0000; I was trying not to confuse anyone. Evidently, it didn't work. If you substitute "equal to" for "due to", then your statements would be correct. However, the voltage drop and heat are still "due to"; /html/mgs/1997-07/msg00040.html (7,795 bytes)
5. Hot Light Switch (score: 1): Author: Trevor Boicey <tboicey@brit.ca>; Date: Sun, 29 Jun 1997 23:26:44 -0400; I was having some physical problems with my light switch coming apart on my 1975 Midget. It's the generic three position paddle switch. Now that it's fixed, I am spending a lot more time noticing it; /html/mgs/1997-06/msg01607.html (7,091 bytes)
6. Re: Hot Light Switch (score: 1): Author: Mark Moburg <markmoburg@mindspring.com>; Date: Mon, 30 Jun 1997 09:42:26 -0700; ==Reply== Trevor: You didn't mention what types of headlights you're using. If they're higher wattage than was stock (35 watts low beam, 50 watts high, I think), such as modern halogens frequently ar; /html/mgs/1997-06/msg01614.html (8,162 bytes)
7. Re: Hot Light Switch (score: 1): Author: Trevor Boicey <tboicey@brit.ca>; Date: Mon, 30 Jun 1997 17:25:20 -0400; Sure. Just to extend this, the heat is caused by current through a resistance. Every wire, every join, and every connection is a resistance, and could develop some heat. I know that the contacts in t; /html/mgs/1997-06/msg01650.html (7,414 bytes)
8. Re: Hot Light Switch (score: 1): Author: DANMAS@aol.com; Date: Mon, 30 Jun 1997 22:29:00 -0400 (EDT); Trevor: Yes. No switch should ever be too hot to touch comfortably. Either the internal contacts are not clean and smooth enough, or the wire terminals are not making good contact with the switch ter; /html/mgs/1997-06/msg01667.html (7,538 bytes)
