>Bill, I took your advise and cleaned the piece in the center of the socket and raised the tab up. It has rivets holding the socket to the wires but it seems to be no way to open to the wires underneath the socket unless I take a utility knife to go along the crease.
Wanna send a pic or put one in the Photo section?
>Maybe it is not worth fixing. There does not seem to be any corrosion.
If a new one is "ok," then get 1 & save this as a
fun project to learn with.
>When I put a bulb in, the light will not go on. However, if I unloosen the bulb a little, it will go on for a second but will not stay on. I twist it slightly in this area back and forth but it will not stay on more than a second in any position but just flicker. Thanks, GB
There ought to be a way to remove the reflector section,
unscrew the handle, split it in half, and open the thing up.
Go SLOW, so you can see the orientation of stuff, and
replace the guts into the recesses, with intelligence.
Some folks take a pic, the 1st few times.
Now, the socket ought to be exposed. If not there is a cover over
the socket and it will slide off, with coaxing.
Now, there will be screws holding the wires, on the bottom of the socket...
OR the rivets will be doing that as a dual job, and you are riveted. AKA,
screwed.
WAIT! If so - cut the socket off. Take it to the store, and get another
one which WILL have screws.
SOME chance that the switch is bad. THAT is part of the socket.
If the wires do not show black around 1 screw or rivet, it's the switch.
