Broken Pinky Switch on Warthog

Has anybody any experience with replacing the Pinky Switch ( the big lever switch ) on the TM WH Joystick.

It was wacky ever since and it has failed completely now.

I cant brake anymore, waahhaaa clear the strip I AM COMIN' IN :D

Check with Sokol1_br.

He has a lot of good posts and threads about the internals of the warthog. I think it's a pretty generic 3 way toggle switch that can be soldered in. I've only opened up the Cougar throttle so I can't be much help.

Thank's Sn8ke_iis,

I will check his posts.

It seems to have fixed itself back to the point where it "mostly works, kind of build in Anti Locking Brakes. I worked the button in&out directly, not with the Pinky Lever and it seems that all i may need is a touch of electronic cleaner spray on that button and work it a little. If I press it in hard the button lights up in cpanel. It's just not ultra reliable.

Depending on how much work it is I may put in a new one. Soldering would be no problem for me but I always fear those tiny cables and connectors etc. like on laptops. 1, 2, 3 and it's broken LoL

Thanks for pointing me into the right direction :smilewink:

Sounds like it might just be a loose wire then, especially if you've flipped it back and forth for several years. Good luck!
