Troubleshooting
Switch does not turn on the accessory.
Verify that the accessory is wired correctly and that the switch is receiving 12V power. Check all screw terminal connections for tightness. Ensure the accessory's fuse is intact and the ground connection is solid.
Accessory intermittently cuts out.
Check the tightness of the screw terminals on the switch and at the accessory. Inspect the wiring for any breaks or chafing. Ensure the accessory's power draw does not exceed the switch's 16A rating.
