Dash water pump switch

[Kiwi3]

I'm just wondering if anyone has a part number or source for the 3 way intermittent switch for the dash controlling the water pump? It is one of those little black doobers that can be pushed left/right but defaults to the center. I've been looking but haven't had any luck. Mine works to turn the pump off, but the on side gave up the ghost.

Call digikey.com explain what your looking for they have them. I picked up a few from them a few years ago. I’ll need to search for the part numbers though. They are a good outfit just explain the part, size, they’ll look it up in no time.

You could try Stephen first, Dupree products. Support the community.

Looks like Stephen only has the single pole rockers.

Spray some WD40 into the switch and work it firmly back and forth.

I just got them from a company called Newark. They are a Eaton 1600 series spdt switch. I have the part # @ home. Will post it later today. Less than $3.00 + shipping.

the switches I bought are for the front heater blowers on my 1987 FC. They are single pole double throw. ( only 3 terminals on the back , center off )
I got them from Newark 217 Wilcox Ave, Gaffney SC 1-800-463-9275
Newark SKU is 23F004, Eaton P/N 160411E
They do have Double pole Double throw switches, same series in their online catalog.
The single pole/single throw dash rocker switches are
Newark SKU 23F001, Eaton P/N 160011E ( These are available from Steve @ Dupree Products for the same price )
I did find these to be a little snug in the hole in the dash but a quick file on the sides cured that problem

Bruce, the one in my sewer bay did the same thing, thought it was bad. Turned out the wire had come loose,, might check before you buy one. I think that would be a reversing switch, on/off/on, normally off.

Man can I tell that I haven't gone anywhere this year..
Just was out cleaning up the bus and noticed that I never fixed this from Jan...

It worked for a min then after I turned it off it refused to stay on from any of the three interior switches (I didn't go outside to try the one in the water bay. So back to trouble shooting this tomorrow. I think it is the dash switch, maybe it is grounding causing the pump circuit to cut off. I'll have to see if there is a wire diagram that shows if the pump switches control power or ground to the pumps.

One position in our water bay was stuck causing the same problem. Rocked the switch a few times and all was fine.
