Is there an echo in here ?? :biggrin:

It is called a "high resistance" open, meaning that it isn't completely open but there is enough extra resistance that the low current devices don't work........until you ZAP it with the high starter demand and then the partial open closes up.......for a while.

That's the only thing I can think of that makes any sense.

Then again, there may be a piece of the puzzle missing too.
Often some little fact that the OP doesn't think is important turns out to be the key.
