2011 wolf pack 19WP light switch

Our interior ceiling light switch is intermittent. It works fine and then it doesn’t. The outside lights on the other two positions work fine, and the bathroom, bedroom and other lights that are switched independently work fine, so I suspect that the top switch is dirty or bad.

Anyone know how to take it apart? Or if it is still available?

Usually on that type of switch the outer covering can be popped off be careful as the older the plastic it may be brittle go to harbor tool and freight and get a auto trim removal kit (the tools are heavy plastic) very cheap and will keep you from marring the surfaces. I suspect a loose wire or may be dirty connection.

Thanks! I suspect dirty contacts as well. I took the trailer to our local dealer for a couple of other things so I asked them to look at it.

I did find a similar switch if it does need to be replaced.

I have those switch covers in my trailer. They are just covers. Actual switch in under. Match the switch up with one from local hardware store. Found mine at True Value.

Just pry the covers off with a butter knife, screw driver.

Good to know! I tried the screwdriver and it wasn't moving, and i didn't want to break it.

Thanks!
