Unresponsive drill when the trigger is pressed.
When the trigger is compressed the drill does not activate; the drill does not rotate and the drill light does not turn on.
Faulty Battery or Faulty Battery Charger.
When the drill's battery is charging, the indicator light on the charger shall show if the battery is full or charging. If no indication light appears when charging, either the battery or the charger is faulty. Typically, a new battery or charger is needed in this case, though try to charge the battery until full. Most 18V batteries will fully charge in 1 to 3 hours. After 3 hours, if the charge indicator light does not switch to full, remove the battery from the charger and press the battery icon on the drill battery. Depending on the battery status, LED lights may appear. If led lights show the battery as full, the charger's indicator light is faulty, which will not harm the battery, charger, or drill. If no LED lights appear, a new battery needs to be purchased. When purchasing a new battery, ensure the battery is either made by Ridgid or compatible with the Ridgid R860054 drill.
Faulty Wiring.
When the drill's battery is full, a simple trigger press will activate the drill. However, if the drill is unresponsive when the trigger is compressed, either there is a faulty connection to the battery or a defective drill trigger. To differentiate between the possible causes, one must disassemble the drill and inspect the wiring of the drill. If the wires from the drill motor to the battery connector prongs are disconnected, one must reattach the wires. The internal circuitry of the trigger may be faulty preventing speed directing toggle, the solution here is to replace the trigger electronics.
Inoperable Drill Trigger.
The trigger will not operate the drill. The trigger is either stuck in place or trigger initiates no response from the drill.
Debris Blocking the Trigger from Compressing or Extending.
The drill's trigger can freeze in the compressed or extended position. A stuck drill trigger is a prevalent issue often caused by debris such as dirt or sawdust jamming the trigger. Follow the tear down guide and look for any trapped debris within the drill trigger mechanism. Remove any debris from the drill's trigger mechanism is an easy process to restore the trigger's functionality.
Broken Trigger.
If the drill's battery is full and the trigger is operable (moves freely, compressing and extending), the trigger may need to be replaced. If all wires within the drill are connected, and the trigger does not result in any movement or noise within the drill, the trigger needs to be replaced.
The Drill's speed setting will not change.
The drill's speed switch to switch the drill's speed from (1) to (2) is either stuck or does alter the drill's speed as desired.
Obscured switch.
The speed switch is blocked by debris. Follow the tear down guide and examine the switch for any debris trapped within the switch mechanism. Ensure there is no debris preventing the movement of the shift switch by opening the drill and inspecting the surrounding of the switch. It is advisable to regularly clean your drill so as to remove any debris that might block it.
Damaged or broken switch.
The switch has been damaged and no longer functions. Completely replacing the switch is necessary.
The drill will not shift from forward to reverse or vice versa.
The drill is stuck in the forward or reverse position and will not change the drill direction.
Obscured switch.
Directing toggle is blocked by debris, preventing it from being switched. The solution is to clean the drill trigger area with compressed air to remove any possible debris.
Broken switch.
The toggle switch that connects it to the trigger has been broken, the solution here is to replace the switch or replace the entire trigger.
