Cherokee Strobe Noise

Whelen told you all that. Strange, they mark the case as "Not Field
Repairable" and then they let their techs violate their own rule. The
FAA police would surely frown. Their lawyers would squirm quite a bit
also. If you ever crash, have your family sue Whelen for $50 million
because the plane obviously crashed because of their "negligence" in
giving you "defective" repair information. My cut for this advice is
only 30%...

Everything is fine, except that the wing tip strobes can be heard like a

Sounds like a problem I have had with a Whelen power pack.

Can you hear the sound at the power pack? I could.

When I called Whelen, I was told that the problem was a bad capacitor.
They told me which capacitor to replace. I replaced it and it worked fine
for a few years, although the noise is just now starting to come back.

The power pack, however, is riveted closed. So I had to drill out the
rivets, replace the electrolytic capacitor, and put the box back together.
Took about 10 minutes on the phone with Whelen tech support; 30 minutes of
labor and a $2.30 capacitor. Needed some pop rivets, too, to put the box
back together.
