Symptoms: Operating the trip switch wont step through the functions on the dash or constantly stays in an apparent reset mode.
Problem: The switch contacts have gone disconnect or high resistance.
Cure: Clean and oil the switch contacts.
Method.
1. Free the trip switch from the main housing by removing the single philips screw.
2. Using a small flat bladed screwdriver, pries out the end cap of the switch unit where the cable enters the switch unit.
Note: this will be reluctant to come out because Guzzi has applied glue behind this cap that holds the wires into place.
However the wires will have to be unsoldered anyway.
3. Separate the cap from the wires.
4. Unsolder the two wires (brown and yellow) noting which of the six tags they were soldered to.
5. Take this switch unit to your work bench because of small parts and a spring could be lost.
6. Ease out the commercial type push switch from the housing with light alternate pulling on each of the six tags.
7. Remove the six holed comb plate from the switch.
8. Disassemble the switch by gently releasing the white tongue away from the black base from both sides of the switch then pull two halves apart, collect the coil spring which will lose tension as you pull apart the two halves.
9. I guess by now you can see the green corroded contacts.
10. Recondition the contacts by applying light oil inside the switch (I used spray grease) and reassemble the switch. If the contacts are no longer serviceable, use the second spare contacts on the opposite side of the switch.
11. Relocate the six holed comb plate onto the back of the switch.
12. Push the switch back into the square rubber housing.
13. Solder back the brown and yellow wires onto the switch tags.
14. Relocate the switch unit cap back into position.
15. Refit the switch unit back into its location lugs on the main left switch-gear with the single philips screw.
