The switch is marked as KCD2 and looks like a rocker. It doesn't stay switched on though. If you press it on it will connect the circuit - but as soon as you let go it springs back to "off" and breaks the circuit

And why exactly is it that you haven't bothered to train him?

Thanks, Rich

Why didn't your lousy parents train you not to post when you're high?

You can't have a sense of humor, if you have no sense.

Googling "KCD2 switch" gets about 197,000 hits.

I've just tried that and got: about 198,000 hits

I've always found more results on subjects when you search again a day or so later. I think it gives Google more time to catalogue results.

If you can't get a replacement switch, you could jury rig one with a momentary pushbutton or micro switch or sewing machine foot switch and an automotive relay. Wire the switch (when pressed) to energize the relay coil, and use the relay contacts in place of the original switch contacts.

Yeah that's called a momentary switch. There are options on the digikey search for that...(mom.) stands for momentary. Or as others have said find the direct replacment.
