Me one eye stays open!?

Post by Twakkie »

It is probably the light switch that is getting a bit "dirty"/oxidized
I remember VLADE doing a right up on cleaning it a few years back

Mine sometimes does that but it does not stay up for long, my left one will just randomly stay open a second or 2 longer than the right one.

Having the same issue :P Haven't investigated yet, but it's probably the solenoids/motors (haven't a clue what's in there) that might need cleaning.
