This topic might have come up before but my searches aren't finding much on it.
I was wondering where people have found reliable two/three position toggle switches? I've checked Summit, eBay, local stores, etc. I also searched on Google and Yahoo and found plenty of little stores selling these things but nothing that I could be sure of the quality of. I ended up buying a cheap two position switch and the thing heats up so much that I don't want to actually mount it in a panel for fear of melting plastic. And it's rated at 10A.
What I'm trying to do (currently) with the switches is mount a switch panel in the ashtray location of three switches - low speed rad fan, high speed rad fan, and ic fan. This is a 93 SC. Anybody know if any of these fans should be drawing more than 10A? I don't want to hook up a non-fused multimeter (like the one I own) and melt a circuit because the fan is really sucking a lot more amperage. I can't see how it's really taking that much though.
Anybody know where I can get better quality switches? Or had experience with a few different brands and know which ones don't heat up so badly?
