The B ignition switch has gone bad on my -12. I was able to isolate the problem with help from Bret at Leading Edge Airfoils. One of the first things I checked was the continuity from from the switch and it seem to work normally. Luckily I got a hold of the right guy because Bret had seen this problem before. He told me that the continuity can seem normal but under the 100+ volts that the charge coil puts out the switch can remain closed if the switch is not rated for that voltage. I was a little surprised when I talked to Scott at Van's, when he didn't question how I knew it was the switch. He just said that they would send a replacement switch, board and all that day. Is this good customer service or do they know they have a problem? BTW my -12 has 26hrs. on the clock.
