Aqua hot instrument panel switch

[p_a_lazar]

Pete,

There was a time prior to Oct last year that I would have said the
same thing.

When my AH got intermittent, like Hish, and then failed to satrt on
diesel at all, I went through the normal (by the manual) and even
abnormal trouble shooting. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable on
the AH. Thanks to Johnny at Bleakley in Unidilla, he fixed it in a
relatively quick fashion. Turns out it *WAS* the dash switch. All
measurements across it were good, it only failed after the purge cycle
when switched on. The purge cycle doesn't draw as much current as the
burner cycle so when the purge timed out and the controller called for
ignition, the switch went high resistive and not enough voltage at
igniter and faulting out.

Replaced the $3.98 switch and all is and has been well.
