how do you install this switch? does the old one pop out, and you just push this one in? Or do you have to solder wires to it?

You just uphook the unit form the dash and then unclip the wire connection. Its easy to do and you do not need any tools.

It just pops out and there is a wire plug that you plug in. -Home depot garden supervisor-

The old one will pop out by pushing side tabs in.Then push new one in place being aware of side tabs locking in place.No soldering!

easy to install, from underneath, old one pushes out, new one fits right in- no soldering, the elec connections slide on the new plug - make sure you make note of connections prior to removal.

There are two side mounted "holders" which must be pried open to pull old switch off the socket. Then you insert new switch which will fit precisely into the socket with direction specific placement of the flat tip contacts. If there is no socket because it was cut off you will have to put clips on each wire. Good luck finding out which wires go to which tip contacts on the new switch. I have never been able to fine an exact wiring diagram that helped me to trace were each wire should go. There is at least two tips that have just a wire bridge between them and no wire to some other destination.

I am assuming you mean how would you mount the switch... The switch is threaded and is supplied with 2 rings that screw onto it. You drill a hole where you want the switch(dash, switch panel, whatever) then stick the switch through your hole from behind. Put the cover on then thread the ring on and there ya go... it's installed. If you are asking how to wire the switch then you just hook it up inline with your circuit with the 2 tabs on the bottom. The tab on the side goes to ground so that the LED in the switch works in the "on" position. It is optional and doesn't affect the function of the switch, just the LED light. It is a pretty standard "on-off" toggle switch.... Google is your friend.

Install it the same way the old one was installed, if there was no outlet you don't have to use the red wire you can leave it capped with a wire nut, the red will also go where the black wire goes, if there are 2 screws, in one you hook the black on the other the red, but I recommend the first choice capping the red wire.

You would be better off simply replacing your current switch with this one as long as this is a compatible switch. It's not designed to be opened easily. If you do get it opened, you will be extremely challenged to get it all back together in a way that it will actually work. Just replace the entire piece.

you just need to replace one but need to modify the second (conventional) switch. see my video diy for reference. I hope this helps

It should make sure you number the wires as you remove from the old switch so you connect them to the right spot on the new one

Would you recommend this instead of buying the wires and toggled switch separate for cheaper? Also how long does it take to complete the wiring or an estimate time?

You dont replace the switch. Take a small flathead screwdriver and pry the button out. You will find a small metal connector that a spring holds down. Chances are that sprinf came loose. You need to find a way to keep the spring in place. I used tape. Try and get creative with it.

Very simple, just like installing any other fixture. Turn off the breaker, remove the old light, remove both wire nuts, attach new fixture wires (same colors), cover and tighten screw nuts over wires, mount new fixture, turn back on the breaker. Be sure the light switch is turned on.

Carson,you donot have to push the switch,just a lite touch on the switch will change it with out clicking it, thanks Gene

Hi M. Bell. The ones I received had screw and push in connections, no solder required. Traditionally you would have a black wire and white wire, black being the "hot" wire and white being the neutral. There are directions & diagrams with the dimmer. Hope that helps - Larry.

There are no instructions. I did not have to solder anything. If you have questions about installation to a specific device search YouTube. There may be a video to help you.

Pry your old one apart with a small flat screwdriver or some other suitable non-sharp tool. I used a butter knife. It can be hard to open these things, so your new one should arrive already opened and ready for you to slip your old circuit board into it. Some people mentioned reprogramming in their product reviews but this listing should be just an empty key fob (no chip, no circuit board, no transmitter) for you to put your existing circuit board/transmitter inside. Read my product review for more details.

You are quite welcome. I want to add that this is a good quality on and off switch. Probably one of the better ones on the market! Good luck, it is not really difficult to install!

I just looked at my install guide and there is a big note on the front that says "Note This switch cannot be used is no neutral wire (white wires joint together) inside the electrical box." hope that helps

Be sure the vacuum is unplugged. There should be 2 or 4 screws (i forget) in the back. Once removed the switch cover falls forward revealing the switch. The switch just slides out of its channel. Remove the two wires and reconnect to the new switch. Slide the new switch back in the channel and install switch cover back on. Plug in and give it a try!

Mine only came with two loose wires. Had to put an electric cord on it. I don't use a switch with it. As to installation, it depends on what you want to do with it.
