My DeWalt 368 skilsaw trigger switch came after 5 weeks in continuous shipment. It was a $25 Amazon purchase, that I see today is on sale for $13. Screwed again. Well, scanning through my phone pictures, did not find a picture of the wiring. Could not remember where the 4 went order wise. Figured one out, it had shorted on the old trigger, so a little different in color. So 3 wires to go. Couldn't find any on-line diagrams. Called Dewalt, placed on hold, 47 minutes later transferred. Then on hold only a minute or two. They refused to help as I am not a licensed dealer or repair center.
So, sitting, entering the mind's eye, I recall making the black and white wires different lengths. Looked at the wires, yep different lengths. So using farmer's math figured the longer wires went further and mounted them on the far side, 3 of 4, so the remaining shorter wire to the only empty.
Put it back together and it runs fine. Just took me 4 or 5 years to get to the 2 hour project.
I've been using it up and it looks cool!
After.
Then I sanded on the current project for over an hour with 60 grit paper and I still have this small spot of tear out to deal with. I had a couple of pretty hard catches that caused the tear out. But it's almost gone, one more sanding session and it'll be gone.
I was gonna say that borders on crazy...but no, it's crazy!!
