Cdl switch?

[wmd]

Hi all
my cdl light won't light up when I engage the cdl ?
I connected the plugs from the switch too each other and the light works.
When I jacked up one wheel and put it in neutral and pushed the leaver to lock it all worked fine.

My question is could the cdl not be engaging 100% or is the switch shot?

Any one with experience in this area ?

Cheers WMD

Sounds like the switch isn't adjusted properly or else yes, it's a gonner.

how is this switch adjusted?
or is it just easier to buy a new one?

It screws into the housing and has a lock nut.

Remove the switch and see if pushing the plunger engages the light.
If so, then the switch is 100%.

To adjust.

- engage CDL
- loosen lock nut
- screw switch housing in until light comes on
- tighten lock nut
- disengage CDL and make sure light goes off
- done!
