M818 air leak under dash

[bigmike]

I found air leaking out the right side of the low air buzzer switch. There is a small hole on the right side of the switch where you can feel the air coming out.

Is this a similiar problem as I've read on deuces?
Some folks have posted how you can take them apart (watch out for the flying spring), clean them up a bit and they work again.

Is this correct?

thanks,

some guys just put a screw in the hole.

it's not like it's a lot of pressure.

Big Mike--I put a screw in mine---common problem---glad yyou are back in Ca.

I'll do the "plug it to make it go away" solution.

Groundog, I'm glad to be back also. Thanks.

Mine was leaking, pulled it apart to clean it, and I literally only wiped some small amounts of oily stuff out, and it works perfectly now.
It is the same part as the deuce btw, so getting another one is just a deuce part if you don't just plug the hole first.
