P38A Door Lock mec

I found this really useful

Those microswitches are the ones I replace in any door locks I work on - for that exact reason.

In the RHF Door latches, I also upgrade the CDL switch which does the grounding for the tailgate from a 0.1A contact switch to a 5A contact switch - as I wonder if that is one of the problems over the years having the current draw of the tailgate motor go through that switch, that it burns out or at least tarnishes the contacts on that microswitch...

I haven't had the issues he had with the connector to the door latch - but as someone who does a lot of electronics, I cringed when he said he was going to tape all the wires up.... HEATSHRINK!!! if you're going to the effort of soldering them all together!

Yea I agree, he can be a bit sloppy in his work, some of his vids I cringe too, but he does a lot of work others don't on P38 hes interesting to watch

When i want a bit of entertainment i often watch You tube videos of people attempting repair things. Sometimes it absolutely hilarious. As they go about things totally arse about face thinking they are doing a good job. Well meaning but bloody hilarious.

Wam that it true, its entertainment, but it makes you cringe at the same time, his vids are like that, but if you follow them at least you know whats inside or what to expect, and then you improve on it and do it right

That gives me more hope of getting the lock out now. Cant really see in there

I'm just glad to see Dopey is still with us. He's been so quite I thought he'd checked out!

Not long, I wont last another 50 year.... hope I outlast the RR lol
