REFLECTOR: Door Lock Microswitch

[Alex Balic]

Probably best to go ahead and install micro switches in there.

Thanks, Terry, Al.  Now I know why I couldn't find the switches - there are
none!  What I have is a curcuit with one end terminated at one of the lower
sockets and the other end at the other.  When the door is closed, the
locking mechanism completes the curcuit and the indicator light goes out.
During flight the indicator light often flickers on and off.  During my last
IFR lesson a very observant instructor noted that the flickering coincided
with some very annoying static noise on my intercom that has been plaguing
me for several years.  I am hopeful that both symptoms can be eliminated
with one stone.  Is there an electrically conductive grease that I can use?
There is some material in the sockets that resembles heat sink compound.
Would that work?

John,
It is found at the end of the bayonet at one of lower corners of the door.
Look under the carpet under the door...or feel around there for a bump.

I need to adjust the microswitches that indicate when the door is not fully
closed.  I couldn't find anything in the builder manual.  Can someone tell
me where the switches are located and how to get to them?

 

Thanks,'

John
