[QUOTE="Snudge, post: 1332849, member: 88814"] Start with S6, then S4, then work your way through all of them, cleaning and lubricating with a conductive grease such as Noalox. My guess is that S6 is the one giving you the problem at the moment. It happened to me while in Ireland, the good news was that when it rained, everything worked, so on that basis maybe a bucket full of cold water poured under the glove box will restore normality. I cleaned everything up and soldered an earth wire to the spider and clamped it to the frame. Six weeks later the problem came back,intermittently, this time I was in Scotland. On my return home, cropped S6 off and soldered all six wires together, retaining the earth wire, no problems since. [/QUOTE]
