Thanks...they are cheap so I ordered a new one on amazon.

When I have something like that breaks I take it apart to see why it did. Often they don't go back together properly but I know what happened.

Tom, it kind of surprises me that would be a regular rocker switch and not a momentary switch. How do the other pump switches work? I would expect this one to be the same.
Note that I'm not necessarily doubting you - you're there and I'm not, it's just not what I expected.
On my '96 Southwind that was a momentary switch.

Yup, just what I was thinking...all the ones I have seen / used are momentary and click a relay on the pump controller. The controller then turns on the pump.

I noticed that when I was winterizing, that when I didn't have any antifreeze / water on the input of the pump that I couldn't turn the pump off.
Not sure what that is all about...it's a variable speed pump.
I will take the pump apart when it gets a bit warmer as it was cycling quite a bit...so I am thinking the check valve within it is not checking completely. No signs of leakage.

An energetic discussion with my wife about this issue...we have concluded you are right and I have ordered the wrong one. Ugh! Thanks for the follow up.

What do wives know about manly things like pumps and switches?

Anyway, I dont know about the Flair but I have never seen a moment switch on a water pump circuit. The last and newest rig we had was a 2010. Not saying there aren't any just have not seen any.

swann 23 replacement

I found this post from 2016 that was helpful to anyone else with this problem.

Replacement for discontinued rocker switch
I would like to thank everyone who posted in the above threads. Some links I couldn't access (gov. computer) but they pointed me in a direction that was ultimately successful. The Fleetwood people and others they directed me to were also very helpful. I ultimately found a replacement for this discontinued switch after spending quite a lot of time searching.

In hopes of saving someone else the trouble, here is what I wound up getting from the DIGI-KEY Electronics company in MN (www. digikey.com). The switch is an OFF/Momentary ON, SPST, Part # EG1512-ND. It's the same size as the original and looks the same. It cost less than $5 even with shipping costing more than the part. Shipped immediately and got to me fast in San Diego. The only part I didn't like was when ordering, the website has you place the order with out committing to a shipping cost. They did in fact use the cheapest and most appropriate charge, but these days one never knows. If I wasn't so eager to finish this project I would have probably kept looking elsewhere. But it all worked out.

I know this is an old thread, but since the switch is discontinued and a lot of rigs out there still use this panel, I'm confident this will be useful once again.

I hope this helps someone in turn. Thanks again to those who helped me.

R/,
Mike.
