My Fender Hot Rod Deville is not switching out of the clean channel. Every now and then it will switch iver for a second (and the light comes on for that second), but it switches right back. I opened up the amp and the solders appear to be good to the channel selector button and channel indicator light.
There are 6 solders (2x3) coming off the channel button. The first two connect when the button is NOT pushed in and they do not pass a current when it is. I assume this is the bypass from the gain channel. From what i can tell, this looks like it is working how it should be.
I am unsure how to test the channel indicator LIGHT though. There are 3 solders on a row that connects it to the board and I dont get a reading to or from any of them when i test each off the solders with one tester on them and one tester on the button solders.
Does this sound like a bad light? Is there another way I can test it? If its not the light, what else could it be???
Im terrible reading/ following schematics and this one isn't real easy either... Help!!!
Thank you!
