Re: 55 Clipper Custom T/L problem

Mr. PB,
Thanks for the reminders. The T/L box had a lot of white powder (moisture?) inside the box itself. The solenoids were clicking, but no results. I grounded the solenoids and the motor spun each way. I determined the box was at fault and removed it for more careful inspection at home. I cleaned up the contacts at all four locations but the nichrome wire on the lower part of the "U" shaped piece came loose. I wrapped some fine copper wire around it and then used some rear window defogger wire repair on it. It is mounted solid and conducting electricity so I guess it's OK. I tapped the casting for 10-32 screws and then sealed them up with Permatex rubber sealant. Now to reinstall it and verify all works OK.
