Been trying to suss out why buddies scoot hooters don't work..hooters work direct from battery.....took switch to pieces what a fooking faff about, but its clean and contacts not corroded....no power to the switch, so I think he needs a auto electrician.....beyond my capabilities. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No vermin in the shed, i think they would have gone for the squirrel/bird food in the shed before munching on some wires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
