The trigger gets very hot in a very short period of time on my Makita cordless drill & the drill fails to work. The battery holds its charge ok & the brushes seem to have plenty of life left. Could the trigger be faulty? Any ideas as to what's up or should i bin it?

ive got 4, i just replace the whole lot when something happens. i have a good 14volt dewalt drill with no batteries and no charger if you want it or anyone else wants it. also a 18volt metabo with no charger and a makita chop saw i stuck in the loft and have not bothered repairing

Was trying to get round to replying to you Pete but, been to busy!
Anyway, the trigger assembly houses the speed controller so that points to 2 possibles.
1) A short on the motor and or associated wiring.
2) A fault speed controller.
Pop it round if you want and I will give it the once over
