  • RKTX created a new forum topic WTB: 57' or 58' C180 or 182 Glove Box

  • +1 on looking into the cheep stuff. Be sure to check the mag switch and P-leads. Had an intermittent problem on our 180 that turned out to be a bad mag switch that was inadvertently grounding our one/both of the mags. Also old P-leads can get to where the shielding has rubbed through the...
