Awesome Switch

Unless they aren't paying attention to their wiring. Check the ratings on the relays you are using. Running a Load directly through a switch is ok for small items and must be properly fused or you WILL get heat damage and almost any switch will eventually fail... or ..." Read Full Review »

"Bought these to make a simple switch box. I liked the fact that they are illuminated and rated at 30 Amps. The problem is that the load terminal is shorted to the ground terminal. The load terminal should pass through an LED and a resistor so that the switch is illuminated when power is switch to the load. I measured no resistance between the load and ground terminals...they are shorted! I immediately blew ..." Read Full Review »

"I have used 3 of these or similar now and have had no problems with any of them (when I had the packaging to hook them up right). I primarily use these to control the remote power wire from stereo headunits to car audio subwoofer amplifiers. The reason I gave it the con of being bulky is that I li …"  Read Full Review »

"I use the switch to control a relay for fog lamps. The first switch was well made, lasting 2 years. Recently, the bulb vibrated downward, close to the spring-loaded center pin mounted in the translucent plastic rocker, which softened and stretched when I attempted to shut the switch off(I could not) …"  Read Full Review »
