97 Bounder (i'm sure many others other have the same thing)

water pump relay, several pump switches with indicator lamp
all three of mine were burned out, never could remember if pump was on or off, always forgetting to turn pump off

looks like this



i searched for but could not fine replacement lamps,
they snap into hole, same size as rocker switch

i took them out and took one apart, then ordered new bulbs for the inside of the lamp Assembly


Click For Full-Size Image.

now it looks like this



assembly come out of the mounting plate by squeezing the plastic tabs on top and bottom after you disconnect the wires

the yellow plastic lens/bulb holder comes out by 'gently' prying on each side, the little round yellow button spot-tab is all that holds the lens in

the bulbs are held in by the wire leads in a slot in the plastic at the top and bottom of the lens
pull the wire leads, pull out the old bulb
press the wire leads of the new bulb into the slots

CAREFUL DO NOT TWIST THE BARE LEADS TOGETHER,
OR THEY WILL BE SHORTED OUT


fold over the outside, trim, push lens with bulb, back into assembly to contact the metal inside

the new bulbs were cheap
a lifetime supply (10) 14v, 1.1w for Aprox $6 on Amazon

14v T175 wheat bulbs

hope this helps someone

I was just giving you a hard time. My Fleetwood pump switch is the newer style that has the light built it. I couldnt see how to take it apart so bought a new one for $12.

at less than 100ma draw, and intermittent use
i figured fitting an LED and Resistor into the lens
was more work than necessity warranted

i have replaced my ceiling fixtures with LED fixtures
more light less power use

I have replaced all of my switch lamps with led bulbs. They need a resistor in line to reduce voltage to about 3v. They look bright and should last indefinitely.
