It's a simple series circuit: batt + through light through switch and into batt - terminal, plus there are all the connections between these three components.Update: New c cells added to mag lite , no light.
Last week I took mag lite to battery store and they tried with no success. Any thoughts on repair. Bulb is ok, batteries new, no light?
You may be able to mount one of theseThanks all for the replies. I do feel the problem is probably in the switch. Can this be replaced?
The vinegar didn't help, it could have added to corrosion of copper parts.
The battery disintegration could have damaged o rings.
You could send light in for repair or take it apart yourself, its not working so if your repair attempt ruins it, its still not working.
