    Hi!
    I have a x-pro2 which signals red light for z axis switch limit. After pressing the limit, the light becomes stronger. Other switch limits work fine. What do I do? What may be causing it?

    1) Check wiring for any stragglers
    2) check that switch is not mounted in a way that the pins underneath are shorting on the chassis

    Ok, so I've checked and everything looks fine. What I did notice is that the light is red even after disconnecting the switch limit from the xpro (I've even tried connecting other switch limits and the light stays red)

    So possible it picked up some damage over the years?

    The v2 was quite a few years back?

    Still suspect it got damaged. As it still has the incorrect LED even with your wiring unplugged. Try contacting Spark Concepts and see what they say? Contact US
