Rocker Switch - Steps
Looking for a little help here. The current switch which is cracked and chipped is an ITW switch with 132 stamped on the upper right hand corner (see pic). I've searched for an exact replacement but unable to find it including on ITW's website. So I ordered a four terminal switch (see pick) the terminals are in different locations. Question is will this work with the current terminal location if not can the terminals be pulled and put in the correct pattern? OR ANY IDEA WHERE I CAN ORDER THE EXACT ITW SWITCH OR IT'S REPLACEMENT?

Please be aware that posting from a phone , your signature line won't show .
Are both switches a push and hold type with a light ?
If one terminal is a ground connection for the light ( on both switches ) then it's actual location shouldn't matter .
Do you have an ohm meter ?

What brand of step? Might be able to source the switch from the step supplier?
Kwikee? Lippert?

UPDATE - REATTACHED ORIGINAL SWITCH WITH ORIGINAL WIRING SETUP. STEPS OPEN AND CLOSE WHEN THE DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES. The switch does not have any affect on the opening or closing of the steps. WITH THE SWITCH IN THE ON POSITION OR OFF OR EVEN WHEN UNATTACHED, THE STEPS CONTINUE TO OPEN AND CLOSE WITH THE DOOR. COULD IT BE A BLOWN FUSE A BROKEN WIRE BAD SWITCH THAT IS PREVENTING THE STEPS FROM REMAINING OUT WHEN PARKED? I'VE ALSO TRIED IT WITH A NEW SWITCH AND IT DOES THE SAME THING.

You might call Visone as they have plenty of motorhomes from that era.

If you have Kwikee steps, this will help. Kwikee products Service Training Manual It has a great troubleshooting section.
That is a simple single throw switch, open/closed.

Blown fuse not under dash not as schematic states but found under hood. Always a treat slipping between the seat and steering column when unnecessary. Switch now working. Thx all.
