Several control panel switches stopped working

[Sahgie]

Hi,

Wondering if you can help me locate a problem. A few days ago several light switches on the top row of my Sandpiper 365SAQ control panel stopped working. Namely "kitchen", "porch" and "scare". Can't find any breaker or fuse that is not working. Was wondering if there may be an inline fuse for this and where I might locate it. I tried looking behind the control panel but couldn't see one.

Anyone else had something like this and fixed it?

Thanks in advance,
Sahgie

If you have a multimeter you should check for 12 volts feeding the switches and at each switch that's not working. If you have +12 volts at and through the switches, then you'll need to start looking for a open negative somewhere along the line.

I'm thinking along Rambler's lines- I'd look for an open ground.

If you haven't pulled the switch panel you may want to do that and check the connection that was made tying the 12V to those switches they are only crimped connections

I had the exact same problem and, after checking everything else, I ordered new ones. The only place that I could find that sells the exact same ones is BURNSTINES DISTRIBUTING, BRISTOL IN. The lady on the phone was extremely helpful and there was no problem. The new ones work great.

Those black buttons on the left of this panel are actually reset switches. This is by the batteries.

I've had it happen to other 12v switches and it turned out to be a loose ground connection.

X2 - I had the water pump switch quit working. The pilot light on the switch was on, but no power to the pump. I pulled the switch panel off and found the +12 that feeds all of the switches had come out of the crimp.

Thanks guys for all the suggestions. Seems to me like a loose 12v also as it affects only these three switches and it happened on all three all at once. I did have a quick glance initially and couldn't find anything wrong with the wiring behind the panel as well as under the fridge where most of the cables go.
I bought a multi,enter today and will have a check with it and will keep posted.
