It's a door switch, it works!

Door switches work work not work need to be replaced. This door switch is better made and seems more reliable than the OEM on my van.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • There are problems

Easy. It worked perfectly!

I installed cheap lamps, also from Amazon, in a gun cabinet. Being lazy, I wanted the light to be turned on and off with the manual switch that comes with the light. This door lock sensor worked great!

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • many things

Intermittent is an operational word

I have a circuit that needs a power break to reset it. This switch seemed like a better choice than unscrewing the plate and removing the fuse. Unfortunately, the switch only periodically turns the power back on when released. What I thought was a solution turned out to be an additional problem. It's not worth going back for a loan, but I definitely don't recommend it.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Negative present

Ideal for adding to a vehicle without a door activated dome light switch.

I used this door jamb switch to add a dome light switch on a 1981 International 1854 door. Perfect for my use. I had to get out of the door jamb to make contact, I will be replacing the nuts and washers used to hold it in place with a ⅝ inch thick piece of HDPE for permanent installation. I have since ordered a second doorpost switch. , and can buy a few more to have on hand.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • No instructions

incredibly low quality

I wanted to use this for my barn. When I set the switch to 3/4 in the hole the light went on and off. It was very touching. So I took it apart to see what's inside. Between this brass clip is a small copper button on the circuit board. The brass is very weak and the button board tilts too easily. I compress the brass brackets to make them work a little better and put them back together. Now it's installed in the shed and works a little better than out of the box, but still sensitive. Sometimes…

Pros
  • everything is fine!
Cons
  • Upgradeable

In short, two switches "MORE CHARACTERS "

I am a professional electrician. I used this switch as a replacement for a door light on my Montana RV. The switch works when it wants to. After diagnosing the problem with a multimeter, I discovered how cheap this Taiwanese switch is. The pin lugs on the back are loosely connected and can be easily rotated with your finger, causing the switch to constantly lose connection. The switch came in previously opened packaging. I won't even send it back because they'll just end up sending it to…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

Waste Design, Waste Production

Preface: I think this is the first one star Revain product review I've done over the years. After reading the bad reviews on this switch, I wondered how bad they could be. I needed to replace a faulty switch in our Winnebago Class A RV and it looked like the perfect match (and it was both physical and electrical) so just to protect my base I ordered two switches just in case. Installed a switch and it seemed to work fine for a few mechanical key press cycles. Then it became intermittent. So I…

Pros
  • Great for Me
Cons
  • Zero
