You just joined. You need to understand that ALL Motorhomes and RV;s are different. You need to state Year/Brand/Model of RV when you post for help. Usually when you have a 12 volt switch that is HOT to the touch, 2 things can cause that.
1. IF the switch has a light in it, it is normal for those to get hot to the touch
2. IF no light, then the connections on the back side are loose/corroded/burnt and this causes heat build up on a 12 volt switch. Your switch is 12 volts, not 120 volts. Take the switch loose and look at the back and if loose/corroded/burnt, it will be noticeable. The defective circuit will not cause any problems other than if it continues, will blow the 12 volt fuse for that light. Doug
