Ridgid R86034 LED Replacement

What you need

  1. Ridgid R86034 LED Replacement, Disassembling Ridgid R86034 Housing: step 1, image 1 of 1
    • Use the flat side of a metal spudger to peel the black rubber cover off of the casing.

    • Use some force; the rubber cover is securely attached to the housing.

    • Rotate the casing until it fits onto the housing with no gaps between it and the clear cover.

    • Orientation is important when putting the rubber cover on the casing.

  2. Ridgid R86034 LED Replacement: step 2, image 1 of 2 Ridgid R86034 LED Replacement: step 2, image 2 of 2
    • Remove the plastic cover with your hands.

    • There is no need to force off the plastic cover. The plastic cover should be much easier to remove than the rubber cover.

    • Unscrew the four 16 mm long screws from the back panel with a T10 Torx Screwdriver.

    • Use a firm grip to peel off the back panel. It is sealed tight and requires a good amount of force to remove.

    • Unscrew the eight 15 mm T10 Torx screws from the housing

    • The screw hole located nearest the battery port is deep and small. Most screwdrivers with replaceable bits will not fit into the hole. Instead, use a conventional screwdriver that fits.

  5. Ridgid R86034 LED Replacement: step 5, image 1 of 1
    • Place the driver flat on a table before completely separating the two halves of the housing so components of the drill don't fall out during opening.

    • Pry apart the two halves of the housing at the back side of the driver using the metal spudger.

    • The housing is easier to remove if you pry from multiple sides.

  6. Ridgid R86034 LED Replacement: step 6, image 1 of 2 Ridgid R86034 LED Replacement: step 6, image 2 of 2
    • Do not remove the direction switch.

    • Pull out all electrical components from housing by hand.

    • Lift out the motor.

    • Follow the wires.

    • The components should come out of their respective slots with ease and require little force to lift out.

    • The circuit board located nearest the battery pack and the LED light will be hard to pull out.

    • Remember to precisely place all components in their correct slots with their correct orientations when reassembling.

  7. Ridgid R86034 LED Replacement, LED: step 7, image 1 of 1
    • Identify the LED light. The LED light is the component with clear casing and has two wires attached, located toward the bottom of the driver.

    • Cut the pink and white wires attached to the LED at a point that is a little more than 1/4 inch from the LED.

  9. Ridgid R86034 LED Replacement: step 9, image 1 of 1
    • Strip the wires back about 1/4 inch on the LED.

  10. Ridgid R86034 LED Replacement: step 10, image 1 of 2 Ridgid R86034 LED Replacement: step 10, image 2 of 2
    • Strip the wires that were connected to the LED on the circuit board to approximately 1/4 inch.

  11. Ridgid R86034 LED Replacement: step 11, image 1 of 1
    • Solder the new LED striped wires to the wire attached to the circuit board.

    • Wrap the soldered connection with electrical tape, to ensure that the circuit isn't shorted.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
