    Good day got a Fld120 that keeps popping air pressure switches(air leaking out switch)behind steering column. They last about a month then it’s back to leaking. Any idea as to why they keep going bad?

    What does this switch do? I owned an fld for 15 years (until 2015) and don't know that there was a switch-at least I never had one go bad. Is it for tilt/telescopic adjustments?

    There is a socket made for them. If you to pull hard on them with channel locks of something you can distort the housing, even break the plastic.
