Ryobi P235 Trigger Replacement

Introduction

Use this guide to replace the trigger assembly in your Ryobi P235 Impact driver if power isn’t getting to the motor while using a fully charged battery.

The trigger assembly is what regulates how much power gets to the motor and what direction the motor spins.

When you reach step 7 and 8, the wires are soldered to the motor so a soldering iron will need to be used to disconnect them from the old trigger assembly and then reattach them to the new one.
