Luhrs Elec. Panel Rotary Switch

[kcummin]

Hello,
I own a 1994 Luhrs T-350 Conv.and am trying to find a replacement Rotary Switch located on the electrical panel inside the salon.

The rotary switch purpose is to switch the Voltage meter and Ammeter panel gauges to the correct battery bank for monitoring DC voltage and DA draw for my Bank1, Bank2, and Gen battery.

Switch has gone bad, and didn't see any identifying marks on it. Can Luhrs tell me what switch was used or sell me a replacement?

Thanks....Kevin

I would assume the switch is a rotary single pull triple throw type. Only DC current going through it. As it only connects meters there is very little amp draw. Radio shack has these switches. First check if this is what you need.

Douglas,
Thanks...I plan pull it out of the panel this weekend and try to match it at Radio Shack or NAPA.....

I'm sure you have done this already but just to be sure, draw yourself a schematic or take a photo of it before disassembly so you know how to rewire it. Also what size wires are going to this switch. If you post a photo of it on this site I can give you a better idea of who carries this switch.
