Trim switch stuck

Featured Replies

I noticed my left triim switch is continuously sending a #2 button press (as if the switch is pushed forward).
The #3 button (same switch but downward) seems unaffected.

For now I have removed its assignment but what can be done to fix this? I have no experience in soldering unfortunately, always thought I'd take a course one day but never did.

Hi, can you contact me via [email protected]

There are some simple checks we can do with you and it is possibly an easy fix.

Did you get it fixed?

Since I have a busy week I was only able to contact Chris yesterday. He responded quite promptly and had me take off the button plate on the yoke handle in order to check things.
I did that this morning and I've reported back. No doubt Chris will contact me with a solution. It looks like I might be able to solve this with his help without soldering or replacing parts, but that I will know when Chris has e-mailed me back.
There's no hurry though since loosening the bolts on the button plate by ony a fraction has the switch working again, at least temporarily.

Last Saturday Chris sent me instructions to remedy the issue. All it took to solve the issue was bending a pin a bit. The problem was remedied on later versions of the yoke and it is not difficult to fix but if you have this issue i recommend contacting Chris before trying anything yourself.
