I'm sitting on a plane or I would have already looked up the wiring diagram. BTW, I don't recommend spending the night at an airport. Sadly, there were no hotel rooms left. Travelling with our coach is so much better than what flying has become.
Gil,
Yes Sir I understand how the switch and parking brake work with the high idle. I was just sharing how My experience of forgetting to turn off the paddle switch and dis-engaging the parking brake will bring it back down to low idle. A good safety feature IMO. I was wondering how it is all tied together I guess You would say. Like all Electric via a common relay, Or electric and air ? The DDEC is probbably in the mix too maybe ? Mine is working fine now. Just trying to understand the path of it all while the subject was at hand.
Airports are the worst anymore.
