Robert92867 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I am trying to source a replacement switch. Apparently, it "makes" to ground when wet bay door opens, enabling light if system switch is turned on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwight Lindsey Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 This one may work: https://www.amazon.com/DaierTek-Adjustable-Switch-Security-Momentary/dp/B081MT3YCF/ref=sr_1_13?crid=5V4PMOY737E4&keywords=door+plunger+switch&qid=1643231875&sprefix=door+plunger+switch%2Caps%2C113&sr=8-13#customerReviews There's one review that says it was used in exactly the wet bay switch application. I was looking at mine the other day and it's seriously corroded. Your request for a replacement triggered me to search on Amazon. I've ordered one of these, they're cheap enough, and I'll see if they work. One of the reviewers complained that the picture is a package of 3 switches and there were only two in the package he received. I only need one . . .

cbr046 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Hmmm . . . my wet bay has a loose wire sticking out at the top. If I ground the wire the light comes on. 💡 I guess my "switch" died a long time ago and got trashed. - bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find where it was mounted, but the light and wiring is all there and ready to go when I figure out how I want to mount it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhReally Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 You'll notice a tab on the end of any of the Amazon switches. The wire you refer to should simply connect to that tab. Since the complete switch mounts to the door frame through a grounded surface, the wire will ground when the door opens and let's the switch close.

Mounting bolt is already there . . . or maybe a new bracket up high out of the way. Or maybe when the weather warms up I'll actually buy the switch! - bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
