I never had a reverser light come on in flight. Good job. I was going to fly for MAF, and I got all my certs and ratings, and then I found out that I needed A&P as well to fly for them. I was out of money at that point, so I flew Lears, instead. Good for you, being willing to do this work.
I have just been recommended your channel in my feed. This is really good stuff. Are your stats increasing? I do hope the algorithm is being favorable to you!
In Sweden doing such work You must be a licensed mechanics. Very little is allowed to be made by "common pilots". I've only been flying one engine props but watching "Air crash investigation" I know this is serious business. What did the new switch cost? I'm sure most people can't imagine.
When you find a defective switch like that, do you replace the switch on the other engine as well? Under the presumption that it might soon fail as well, having experienced about the same conditions as the failed one.... I recently also saw your Pitot tube video, where you replace one that was clogged, and that had quite a lot of debris inside the casing. I wondered at that time if you would also replace the other pitot tube assembly, presuming that it has probably experienced about the same environmental conditions as the failed one did...
Understanding the TR control system and reading and understanding the wiring diagrams, pointed to the deploy switch being the problem. Also, the inflight video and situation provided by the pilots was extremely helpful.
An 8130-3 is an Airworthiness Certificate. It comes with new, repaired and tested, overhauled, or inspected parts. Basically, it provides affirmation that the part meets the original manufactures Airworthiness specifications as approved by the FAA. The switch I installed was new.

Interesting video perfectly edited too!

Don't be shy. Tell us the price of that switch😂😂😂😂

Was the replacement switch an overhauled or repaired part? I ask because I thought an 8130-3 was only for repaired/overhauled parts and never new.

Open up the old switch!
