...Other than mine?
Just wondering if anyone has had any problems with the LC-40 lighting controller board. Mine is one of the older ones, no case - just a bare board that I mounted behind the panel. Today, while cruising out to the San Antonio area, I noticed that I had a popped circuit breaker - my internal lighting. That supplies power to the LC-40,and all the panel lights are powered off of that (except my flexible map lights, and of course, my EFIS and other internally lighted avionics). I don't believe in resetting non-essential breakers in the air, so when I landed, I looked at the Amp reading on my EFIS as I pushed in the breaker - amps climbed to 5 above steady state and the breaker blew. I'm convinced - got a problem!
I'm really not in a hurry to tear into the wiring, as all the internally lit stuff is more than I need if I were flying really late, but before I tear into it, I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this board failing ?
