I’ve had this new 20V cordless drill for about a month. Last week I had to drill through a piece of metal that tested the torque of my drill. It stopped, but the light continued to work. Same result after swapping and charging the battery. Thoughts?

Sounds like some wiring to the motor has disconected.. Maybe from it overheating??

You obviously have power to the switch if the light comes on. Bring it in for service
