had the pressure switch leak last january replaced it and hyd filter used it until a few days ago then it started to leak replaced the switch and filter used it about a hour and started to leak again looked at it close and the switch is melting and then it leaks wondering if it was a bad switch or if i have something else causing it wondering if i have a sensor going bad or a short in the wiring causing this switches are 45 dollars a crack so dont want to ruin another one dont have a dealer close to me
you dont have an exhaust leak thats blowing hot air up around the sender do you? repeat failures are usually due to another, sometimes unrelated, problem. :drinkup
pressure switch after taking a closer look at the are i able to determine that the end of the muffler had a hole i it that was now visible to see but discovered it when i stuck my hand in the area by the switch im hoping that i have found the problem ordering a new one in the morning
You beat me to it, seen that happen a plenty of times.
a year or so ago, i had a service call for a hyd leak, same thing, cust had replaced the leaking switch, after 2 or 3 melted switches, he called us raising hell about the switches. as soon as i opened the tailgate i noticed a brand new flexpipe had been installed, i started it up, it was loud and billowing black smoke.. his exhaust leak wasnt the flex pipe, the exhaust manifold was cracked in several places, hot exhaust on the switch and connector, and had also damaged the alternator. when i showed him what i found, he asked me if that could be the cause for all the dead batteries he'd replaced :drinkup
That one reminds me of the old comic routine, where I guy says,"Hey Doc, it hurts when I do this" Doc says, "Well don't do that!" Or one for the batteries and switches could tell, "I told the doctor I broke my leg in two places. He told me to quit going to those places."
