Q: What type of electrical switches do you carry?
A: We carry switches for many applications. Automotive, Agriculture, Heavy Equipment, Moto, ATV/UTV and Universal applications. Most common we keep on hand: Dimmer, Door, Ignition, Horn, Rocker, Rotary Ball Plunger, Starter, Safety, Temperature, Toggle to name a few. Not to mention Switch Housings Brackets and Circuit Breakers needed for a clean installation.
Q: How often should electrical switches be replaced?
A: Replace electrical switches when visibly damaged, showing inconsistent performance, overheating, or aging. Consider upgrades for technology or standards. Periodic inspection is advised and consult a professional if issues arise.
Q: What are some of the causes of switch failure?
A: Switch failure is commonly caused by mechanical wear from repeated use and accumulation of dirt, debris, or moisture. Other factors include overloading, manufacturing defects, improper installation, electrical surges, and age. Regular inspection and addressing signs of wear or malfunctions are crucial for preventing failures.
Q: What are the most common problems in electrical switches?
A: Three common problems in electrical switches are: :

1. Mechanical wear: Over time, the repeated use of a switch can lead to mechanical wear, resulting in diminished performance or failure.
2. A loose or broken toggle: The toggle makes a connection when the switch is flipped, allowing electricity flow. If that switch is loose and or hard to engage, it should be replaced.
3. Accumulation of dirt and debris: Dust, dirt, or other contaminants can accumulate within the switch, interfering with its internal mechanisms and causing malfunctions or failures.
