A note on the switches. Mine quit when I was testing yesterday (after I finished charging the battery). Most of the standard toggle switches have a clip on each end under the bottom. You spread the clips, pull the switch apart and clean up everything that is dirty or corroded.

A "Q"-tip does a lot of the job. After that, take a sharp point or knife tip or small file and scrape/scratch the corrosion off the contacts. You should be able to disassemble the entire switch - just watch how it comes apart. Even heavy corrosion should be curable.

The "waterproof" switches are merely "water resistant". The standard switches will work for years and can be cleaned, probably once per season. Try not to soak them but don't stress over it.

If you need, ask and I will do it for you in the field or talk you through it on the phone.
