Electrical Switches

Immediately inside the MH on the left are lighted switches. One switch is for the battery shutoff that is broken. The switches are lighted and have a built in ID (battery shutoff). Does anyone know where I can get replacement switches with the built in ID??

    If you can get some numbers off the switch, often you can google it and find the mfg and a supplier.

    Very much so!
    The only part of the switch that is broken is the rocker part. I still have power and everything is OK, just the rocker part. I have it lsaying on the dsah, will call Monaco today.

    Thanks!!
  • If it is the inch wide by about 1.5 inch switch get a flashlight and magnifying glass to get the part number off the side. In a pinch you may be able to swap it with one of the others on the panel.

    Is this a Intelltech Battery Control Center setup... I ask cause it matters to the switch.

    But contact your body builder if all else fails.
  • Probably a carling switch and available at a local rv store. IF the outside part you push on is not physically broken it can be snapped off and installed on a new switch.

    Are you positive it is broken? The switch controls a relay in the front run bay which is the large control panel below the driver in the outside compartment. The relay is a common failure component. It can be bypassed easily to get you going.
