Schex, I never noticed that my wires are North South, yours both the same way and looks much cleaner. In the service manual it says to remove main fuse when replacing the neutral switch & put in Neutral. If I'm just popping off the white one to spin 180 degrees there's no need to remove fuse I'm guessing? also, I'm assuming a straight up pull to remove? I don't want to brake it. Thanks man, I have never messed with that part.

*EDIT* I just Googled and my suspicion was answered by Doc Harley, they pull off like a spark plug, before anyone wise asses me I didn't want to ***** it up as I have never tinkered there LOL

Chopper_man, Thank you! I went to Home Depot today & bought that tape (all my life I always just bought electrical tape in bundles of 3 or more, never looked at specialty tape) you recommended. For $7.25 it was a cheap great fix, all three areas that bugged me for years all cleaned up. Thanks again my man. I love this forum, someone always has the fix for anything HD.
