Troubleshooting
Switch not functioning in one or more positions
Verify that the spade connectors are securely attached to the switch terminals and the corresponding wires. Check the circuit wiring for breaks or shorts. Ensure the amperage draw does not exceed the switch's 25A rating.
Intermittent connection or poor performance
Clean the spade terminals on both the switch and the connectors. Ensure the mounting nut is tight, providing a good ground if applicable to the circuit. Inspect wires for any damage.
Switch feels loose after installation
Tighten the mounting nut securing the switch to the panel. If the panel material is soft, consider using a backing washer for a more secure fit.
