For about 2 weeks I have been having a issue with getting sunlight interference warnings from my LI even at night. Anyone have an idea on what causes this or how I can diagnose the problem. I get them also during the day when clouds are out or sun is not bright.
Thanks to anyone who can help figure this out.
Try unplugging one head at a time to see if you can isolate it to a single head. You might take a camera with night vision to look into the heads and see if they might have water in them. Do it at night and you can see into the heads perfectly.
Thanks..I will try.Quote:

Remove such device and install M27 :)Quote:

Let the moisture burn up for a good 30 minutes or so then take some silicone sealant to the heads. Worst case scenario you're left with a great paperweight which is pretty much what you have now.

can't you take the lenses off on those? I would try to stick the heads in a jar of rice (sealed from the outside air with lid) and let them sit there for a few days or more. The rice sucks up any moisture. If you can take the lenses off, still put them in the rice and after they are really dry hit them with some electrical contact cleaner (plastic safe type) to clean everything up really nice, once clean dry them with air in a can stuff and test them again.
I dont think the lenses remove.
so what do you do if you have to replace the lens because it is cracked or maybe got hit with a rock and chipped? Do you have to buy new heads?
yes...I believe.Quote:

Either way, I'd at least try the rice method. Don't really have much to loose at this point...
Don't you have warranty?
:pI should have but because of the Blinder and LI issue Cliff does not deal with me. In a way I don't blame him but I am being punished and I don't make Blinder policy. It's like if a ford car salesman owns a Chevy and ford sues Chevy does that mean Chevy owners who work for Ford don't get there car serviced under warranty?Quote:

Blinder would totally dominate if they had jammers with 13 year old Swedish girl voice alerts! :D
I thought we would use a women who had been chain smoking for 40 years to do our voices.Quote:

I know i will never hear the end of this but I want to say thanks to Cliff from LI...I got home today and there was 2 new LI heads waiting for me....With everything going on he did not have to do this and I didn't expect him to....But thanks very much Cliff...You are a top notch guy in my book regardless of everything!!!!:rock:
Cliff is a class act for sure and glad he made things right for you. Nice of you to publicly acknowledge it also.Quote:
