Need help fixing a couple Fenix lights

Miamitj · Oct 29, 2014

Hey all,

Ive been lurking this forum forever but the time has come to post. I have three older fenix lights that have died. I know two are tailcap issues.

PD30r4 - Tailcap
PD30r5 - prob tailcap
PD31r5 - Tailcap

Ive searched around so it seems like replacing the switch is the solution but I am not sure what the correct item I should be looking for is. Can you huys help out?

Thanks,

If you haven't already, try tightening the tailcap assembly. I believe it is reverse threaded. If that doesn't work, contact Fenix's warranty department and tell them you need some tailcaps.

Toss them in the bin and buy new if you have tried the usual of cleaning contacts etc,you could try Fenix but!

Take the tailcap off and connect the battery and the flashlight body with something to rule out a problem with the head after that tighten the switch retaining ring like MoBait said that is usually the problem.

I usually use aluminum foil to bridge the contact

Too many failing switches on too many lights: as other posters have said the retaining rings are probably just loose! : )
