How the hell does this thang work? There's the plastic fitting that
screws into the brass valve body. On mine, it has a spring-loaded
plunger that sits inside the brass valve body, and on the other end of
the plastic fitting are two terminals with continuity between them. When
I push the plunger up with my finger so that it comes into contact with
the small strip that links the two terminals, there's still continuity.
There's a rubber plug with two holes in it that fits over the plastic
fitting with the two terminals. On the other end of this plug, there's
only one hole. It appears that the wiring harness connector is anchored
in this plastic plug, and thereby connected to one of the terminals on
the plastic fitting that screws into the brass valve body. There's a
plastic clip thing that clips the rubber plug to the plastic fitting so
it doesn't come off. Why not just push the wiring harness connector
directly onto one of the terminals in the plastic fitting? And, why are
there 2 terminals in the plastic fitting when there's only one connector
-to fit one terminal only-on the wiring harness connector? Mine's never
worked since the rubber plug was blocked by the remnants of the old
wiring harness connector, but now that all the pieces are free and
clear, I can't figure out how it works with continuity present between
the terminals, regardless of the position of the plunger. Can someone
'splain this? Many thanks. Colinthom@shaw.ca
