[QUOTE="spectreman, post: 1463828, member: 92514"] I had the same issue and sought advice for rectifying it. Some people offered that I needed to take the plunger unit apart, clean it and reinstall. I'm not comfortable w/doing that so I looked at it from a simpler perspective. I ended up doing like you did, spraying WD40 directly on the plunger and working it in, back & forth. Contact was re-established and blammo, the issue was gone, at least temporarily. I've had to repeat that process a couple times, all to the same success but for me, it's easier than taking it off and disassembling/reassembling/reinstalling, and it takes little time at zero cost.
