Eratic F/R after new F/R switch install

I would not know what your options are unless I could see the switch

Try to get a shot today, but installed. The bottom line is, when the cam rotates, it's supposed to stop (hit the base) at a point where the cam contacts are in perfect alignment with the main contacts. In my case, the cam rotates too far (clockwise and anti-clockwise) so the cam contacts pass those optimum spots.

If I rotate the cam less than full rotation, the contacts line up.

Buy one from SCOTTYB and you will get a quality switch.

If the problem is over rotation of the center cam then you could build up the stop to stop the cam where it is aligned.

Yes, I shimmed the stop area on both sides and all's well. Not a cheaply produced device, weirdly just badly designed. Wasn't off by much, but a miss is a miss. Thanks for the help.

Ok, keep an eye on it and keep us posted.
