Thanks guys,
I know I'm just a newbie but I didn't think TM would have just the switch alone.
I had called TM with the hope that they could at least give me the manufacturer's name and contact information since I could not find much on the panel to go by...all it says is "Custom Designed by KIB" and I'm not even really sure if the "KIB" is indeed KIB, or K1B, or KI Beta, or whatever else.
And yes, it was actually a multimeter set to measure resistance in ohms...I guess I really wasn't thinking about what I was typing when I wrote ammeter.
When I pulled the switch out and took it to Radio Shack I checked to see if there was anything on the switch itself that might help, but it only says "singapore" on one side, and "SU" (or possibly "UR" backwards") on the other side along with its current rating of 16A at 12VDC. I checked with mouser and of the 2,900+ switches they have available, none are current rated like this one...and just going by any of the other filters still leaves a whole lot of switches. I've looked at a couple dozen so far but none of them are even the right size...all too big...and there is no filter for size.
It's very hard to find the right switch without knowing who makes the panel...that is what I am looking for, that is unless someone knows EXACTLY what switch can be used as a replacement, of course.
I guess I'm at the mercy of TM until they call me back.
Thanks anyway.
