Greg,

Cleaning the contacts within the switches was the charm! Thanks for 
the help!

Next, my fuel tanks have become self-leveling within the last couple 
of weeks; regardless of which tank is switched on, the guage reads 
the same. Each tank seems to be being used at the same rate. I'll 
peruse the archive for the recent discussion (shoulda known I'd need 
that info!)

Thanks again.
Regards,

Peter Morris
