Andy,
Do you have a multimeter? It should be as simple following the confirming voltage point to point to whats not working/loose connection, faulty switch, etc.

Couldn't tell from the picture.... is this a four pole switch?

I think you mean terminal, but yes it's a 4 terminal switch with the terminals having 0.25" connectors. It's a Dual Pole Single Throw switch (DPST)

You probably confused him totally now.

LOL..... nope, I lost the proper word "terminal" while I was posting.

Thanks for posting... I been through a couple of the cheapies so I'll order one of these.

Glad to hear you don't think it means Dip Shet!

..... and wouldn't you know it..... out of stock now.

Privateer · « **Reply #26 on:** July 27, 2019, 03:52:31 PM »

Amazon or Walmart have them if you want to pay 2 to 3 times the price!
But I don't know what digikey charges for shipping so if you have prime it may be a better deal.

Amazon and Walmart have the cheapies that I have now. They come in 2 packs for like $6. I have 2 more new ones here.

Amazon and Walmart list the 16 amp/250v for around 6 bucks.
The one listed from Digikey is 20 amp/250v for 10+ bucks.

If your running through a 15 amp breaker circuit? Not sure you'd need a 20 amp switch.

One other area you could check is the auto shut off switch.
turn it up and down a few times as maybe it 'stuck'.
I might have done that when mine acted up that one time.

Don't these compressors recommend 20a? My MKII does.

Privateer · « **Reply #30 on:** July 27, 2019, 04:12:53 PM »

I've been running my AV off a 15 amp circuit for 2 years now.

Not tripped it yet but it is a dedicated circuit.
Very committed to it's job.

I do the same on 15 amps with a beefed up extension cord. I just can't turn the compressor off and back on with say 4000 psi plus of pressure against the compressor. I get a hum instead of it running. Doesn't trip the breaker, but I don't leave it like that long either.

Digikey lists the 1091-1017-ND as in stock and is a 20 Amp/250v for $3.91
Same switch but not with the fancy red glow.

hollowpoint1911 · « **Reply #33 on:** July 27, 2019, 05:02:25 PM »

If you want the illuminated one:
https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/bulgin/C1353AABR2-B/1091-1154-ND/3459589

It's the same switch function and dimensions as the switch I originally mentioned, but it's in stock. If you don't care for illumination, the switch Jeff mentioned is also good. I also own the non-illuminated switch that Jeff mentioned and I keep it around as a spare.

Once I saw how my original switch failed and melted the contact, I had absolutely no problem spending the little money on a higher rated switch.

Got it, thanks.

The original on my Vevor cooked. I bought 4 of the cheapies on Amazon and cooked 2 of those. I borrowed the one from my MKII and it does good. Now I'm going to reseal my MKII and I want a good switch.

The reason I was cooking them so easy was because I was using a 100' construction power cord. Now I have a 10' 20amp cord..

hollowpoint1911 · « **Reply #35 on:** July 27, 2019, 05:42:59 PM »

The next time you dig into your Vevor, check the quality of the wire crimp on 4 quick disconnect terminals. Mine were somewhat shoddy from day 1 and I always noticed my power cord was a little hotter than I'd like it to be, even without any extension cord. When I went to replace my switch, I cut off the 4 original connections and recrimped with my own stuff. After that, the temperature of my power cord went down by at least half, so that told me there was some excess resistance somewhere that I got rid of.

Thanks Andy, I have new connectors down in the shop... I'll replace them.

To everyone- Thanks for the replies- got my switch in & all is good-is the one mentioned above for the compressor side?(as it's 1/2 the width of the cooler switch(and does not light up) cause I want one that will stand up. I'll have to measure it to compare to the Digikey. But all is good, my brothers!

be4meliz · « **Reply #38 on:** July 28, 2019, 12:09:15 AM »

Again ,Thanks to all-After dealing with cheap Chinese compressors(Vevor & Tuxing) I had had it-after much research, I decided on the Air Venturi(still Chinese but much better parts & build- so with this I was BS.! + my tester(voltmeter) was left on, so trying to follow the obvious(K.I.S.S. principle)-check motor/compressor-good, now go simple-power flow- had bad switch on Vevor, so 1st guessn & SCORE!Now I can sleep @ night & not have anger mgmt. problems ! LOL- And until proved wrong, PA service not worthy!- Went to change/ check tampon filter, come to find THERE WAS NO F***ing filter! Took 3 weeks to get it done, but I had to clean out filter casing internals because of NO FILTER- Call me PETTY, but I would like to believe that spending $1600 on their product that service would be paramount & easily accessible(Pyramid-are you listening? RANT DONE & thanks again

LOL..... pretty sure even your BMW dealer don't get a shipment of the latest models in and tear them down for inspection before selling you one.
