Occasionally the windshield on my 1998 R1100RT gets stuck in the fully up position. Eventually it operates up and down again. Dont't know if the problem is with the switch, the motor or something else. Any thoughts?
Spray the switch with Caig DeOxit. It’s a contact cleaner and lubricant. I use it on any MOVING electrical switch… turn signal, lights, etc. Regular quick dry electrical contact cleaner, like CRC, is too harsh for switches. Most likely there’s your issue. Behind the dash, there are two relays for the windshield, one for UP, the other for DOWN.
Thanks for this. My old JBL subwoofer out in the garage sometimes has a flaky volume controller on it and it's start going silent every once in a while. I've tried other contact cleaners, but will give this a try before I open it up and replace the rheostat.
