...Maybe a bad switch?
So the loud clatter was having your Jake's on??? My God, are you one of the ones who think they don't need a Jake buffer switch? Yes, the Jake was he clatter. I have no idea whether or not I have a buffer switch. I was emailing Ted from Coach Maintenance in Williams, CA and he asked if I have a micro switch as well, so sounds like maybe I do not. Also, are you running straight 40wt.? If you were, the Jake's wouldn't work until the oil warmed up.
When a Jake dosen't disengage with the power off you either have a solenoid sticking open or the o-rings under the solenoids have blown, sounds like it won't be long before they start engaging with no power ? did Kevin rebuild the Jakes when he sold them to you

Where would I look for this buffer switch? Where is the solenoid? I will look for them tomorrow but could use some direction. Sounds important.
You need to take it somewhere, if not download the Jake Manual and spend time to study it fooling around with a buffer switch can cost you a engine if you don't watch it,the buffer switch has cost people engines here before
