Bain Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Does anyone know how to get to the switch so it can be cleaned and will stop sticking? I've made it as far as the cylinder beneath the bulb. But I'm afraid to mess with the spring-loaded buttons for fear I'll need a special tool to get everything together again.

John You can't clean them. You need to either sent it back to Mag (they'll replace your switch for free) or take it to an approved Mag service center. - Jim Katen, Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bain Posted March 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Thanks Jim. I was afraid that was the answer. And I'm glad I didn't stray further and wind up with a handful of little parts that refused to piece themselves back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert E Lee Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Bain, I've had the same problem in the past, I've also sent them back for repair. But have discovered that the rubber cap over the switch can be the cause of a "sticky" switch (rubber becomes less flexible). When I called Maglight they sent me the rubber cap which I replaced and that cleared up the problem. You may give that a try, if so you can leave the cap off while waiting for the replacement.

Richard Stanley Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Had that same problem. Trashed 'em. Now have stream light. Better, lighter, better beam, none of that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonTx Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Richard beat me to posting the solution to your problem. Just replace it with an Ultra Stinger and be done with it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
