The first thing I would check, Tom, is the breaker. Maybe the ignition
module is ok.

Subject: REFLECTOR: LIGHTSPEED IGNITION PROBLEM
 
My first major squawk came yesterday while coming in for the final landing
of the day.  The left Lightspeed ignition module simply popped a breaker.
 
I began troubleshooting today and verified that there are no shorts or
problems with the wiring. And before this the engine purred perfectly.
 
Its this simple:  when I plug in the left module -- it pops the breaker.
 
This concerns me a bit, since the modules don't have but a dozen hours on
them.  Has anyone ever had such a failure?  For no apparent reason?
 
I looked inside the module and it is as clean as a whistle ... no burnt
traces, no foreign objects, no bare wires, etc.
 
I had them mounted on the cabin side of the firewall, just above the main
spar.  They were not too cold, nor too hot ... and I don't believe there is
enough vibration there to affect the solid state components ..
 
BUT HEY ... SOMETHING WENT WRONG!!??
 
Any ideas.  I will be contacting Klaus.
