Take a look to see if there is an amperage rating on the switches.. They may have upgraded to a switch that can handle the "nepas"...
Rick, I have some of the red rocker switches... let me find them and see what the rating is
ok.. rating is.. 16A -250v ... 20a - 125v ... size seems to be 7/8" x 1" ...
can bring to the gathering if you would rather use original looking switch ...
Nepas I think this will do it for you. See the new labels and the new pic of your switch at the bottom.
Simply connect to your switch the way I have it labeled. That should be a straight replacement to the old switch and all the wires should be going to the correct places. The only unknown is if the switch in the last pic below is in the ON or OFF position hahaha. This will only matter if you are "bothered" by the direction you have to flip the switch for ON vs OFF. If so you can either rotate the switch or swap the connectors.
****WORD TO THE WISE***** It is EXTREMELY important that your connectors are snug with little to no wiggle. Wiggle or looseness can lead to resistance. Resistance leads to heating up. Heating up leads to burning out or melting out parts of your switch or connectors. Snug and tight fits are the key. If you find any wiggle to the connectors on the tabs AFTER you get things working, feel free to take some needle nose plyers and to safely squeeze/crimp those connectors tightly to the tabs WITHOUT damaging the tabs or switch. My hope is they just fit snug to begin with.
Let me know if this all helps and if you have any questions :)
