Title: Light switch replace
Post by: Bart on March 15, 2022, 05:46:47 pm
I have a couple of bad light switches I need to replace. My internet search tells me the manufacturer has discontinued the item.  Can anyone suggest a suitable replacement part?

Here is the info on the rocker switch:

Thanks Jon.  I have explored the web site but unable to find my switch.

Spoke with Vicky at the Mothership today. They have one switch unlighted ($4) and several others lighted. ($4 ea). I'm guessing some time after 2007 LD went with the lighted rocker switches, so the unlighted ones are no longer stocked.  I can go with the lighted ones as long as the specs are correct for my electrical system.  Still, I'd prefer to go with original types if I can find them.

if they are just for the lights, you wouldn't need that much powerful specs. I replaced all mine with whichever RV (DC) switches I liked on Amazon. Finding the exact same parts over time gets really expensive but not always necessary

Seems odd both are bad. What are the details, or how did you determine this?

Both switches are mushy and only making connection intermittently....  sometimes the light comes on, sometimes not.  I ruled out a wiring problem by removing switch and jumping the wires.  Lights come right on.  My guess is corrosion on connectors inside switch.
