Rosco Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Today I replaced the Tekonsha Breakaway switch.To my horrer not only did I find it was not working but on closer inspection I found the internal contacts had completely rusted away.I believe they should have been made of a non-corrosive material.If there is an Australian standard for this important safety device I think this brand would fail.They recommend the switch be replaced every 3 to 5 years.Our van is only 3 years old so I suggest you check the switch regularly.Regards,Rosco :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod and Mavis Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Likewise Rosco.Our switch was completely worn out at just under 3 years.A good idea to do regular complete inspections of the entire van and components.Mavis and Rod.
