Thanks. We're being told that what I described is just how the switch
works, not that it's broken and too expensive to replace.

Do you think the switch as I described it is defective - not counting
the design flaw?

I don't need knowledge about the internals of the switch to be able to
say that "that's how it works" is not an acceptable answer.

I agree, Dave. What I'm wondering is if there might be a poor design
involved here, and that this failure is "typical" for the factory switch.

I realize, of course, that a switch shouldn't act this way - but I
wonder if a replacement Cessna switch will likely act the same way.

Thanks,
