Hey
The light gets wired through headlight assembly. The end of assembly on the left side slightly above and behind carbon brush is where it connects.
If you go to you tube I believe there is a sentria 2 dissambly and a reassebley video. That's how I got it put back together. If you take a pic I have a manual I could show you the diagram. How are you liking the vacuum. I forget how nice the sentria is until I use it. It's a beast . Good luck. Les | ||

Most likely it plugs into the power switch behind the motor brush. Carefully remove the brush housing and plug it back in. You might have to drop the tranny (easy) to give a little more space. | ||

Hey
That foot switch is a pain. I believe it's 2 pieces one from switch to motor other switch to the safety switch. It looks bent or not hooked up at right location. I think another rod connects to that piece going to safety switch. Texaskirbyguy should be able to answer this. He just restored 2 g6s which are similar to this. If I were you Kirby needs hasg3 to g ultimate repair manual. It doesn't have the sentria but it's basically the same. I have to look at them when doing g series.
If you go to evacuum or similar site they have diagram of the vacuum showing how items are placed Les | ||

Either it is in backwards, rubbing on something, assembled incorrectly, or bent. If you know you did not force it, then the latter may be able to be disqualified. Unfortunately pics from my G6 would not help as it uses a solid metal bar, rather than a thick formed wire. | ||

Also check to make sure it is inserted into the plastic switch button too. | ||

Sometimes there is a fine line between forcing something vs using enough pressure to do the job. Best to err on the side of not enough. Glad you got it fixed easily. - Merry Christmas! | ||

Hey
I tore the vac u got from me and one I still have. I tore off front cleaned the gunk out of white plastic piece by emtor. Went through everything new carbon brushes greased bearings etc. I had to order extra screw set from Kirby needs. I had it all together I put screw for belt lifter on wrong side so spindle rubbed screw when turned on. I learned a lot.
If you do anything don't take off belt lifter. It's a pain in the arse putting it on. Glad to see it's running hood. Pics and diagrams are vital taking apart. Les | ||
