So my Milwaukee impact was dropped and now it doesn’t work at all. I disassembled it and cleaned it up and it worked for a little bit but now I get nothing. The light turns on when I first connect the battery but it doesn’t when I pull on the trigger. I’ve done a continuity test and I have power going every where. Could it be the trigger? Any ideas on figuring this out without paying someone.
So for this...I had the same issue with my 2407. Dropped and no worky. Lights come on but no one home. Took apart and the jumped the battery directly to the back of the motor...still nothing. So I figured I had blown the motor. I pulled it off (just a quick turn and it separated) and figured I would look up how much a new motor was...and as you do...I just turned over the motor from the gear side...kinda like a fidget thing...then for some reason tried the power to the rear contacts again from the battery...and the motor spun! I put it all back together and it works!
