Rocker switch for generator

[anniernc]

Hi All - we have a 2005 fleetwood bounder. There is a rocker switch on the dash that will start the generator. This switch is no longer working. I contacted Fleetwood and the part is no longer available. They gave me the manufacturer info for the switch and they no longer make it. They turned me on to a similar switch but it doesn't work for us either. So, looking for a used switch. Anyone have any ideas on where I might find that? Thanks so much.

Carling makes about every combination of rocker switch you could imagine. If you could post the specs you were given I bet someone here could get you the Carling number. I am assuming that you have already checked the wiring harness. Good luck.

I have had great luck taking carling switches apart and cleaning the contacts and working again. You may try that with your switch.

If it is an Onan generator, my old one did something similar. The two switches inside wouldnt start the genny any more. They would shut it off, but not start it. The switch at the actual genny would start it. After some testing we determined that the switches were all fine, it was the circuit board in the genny that was shot. A new board was around 500 dollars, so I found a used generator instead as the old one had high hours on it. May not be your problem, but mine had similar symptoms. Did you actually test the switch.

Another resource I use to find stuff is Google Search > "Images"

In this case, I searched for "Onan Remote Switch". When it returned the results, I clicked on the "Images", and started scrolling through all the photos. I seen a bunch of switches that might be the one you need.
