Try contacting Outlaw and maybe ATI. Maybe you just got a bad switch.

I think maybe you bought the wrong switch. The part you bought has an LED for illumination but no current limiting resistor. So if the amp doesn't have a current limiting resistor then I would expect the LED to burn out pretty quickly-which it sounds like it did.

I don't know what Outlaw does to drive that light. The switch you bought is available with 12V AC, 110V AC, 12V DC and various other illumination options. If you have a volt meter you can measure the voltage across the terminals on the switch. Once you know what that is you can order to proper switch.

Hey thanks for the Replies! I didnt think of measuring the voltage but I will, As far as Switch It is Identical to the Original!! Same #'s on it. thats how I found it..I went threw the amp and cleaned it and checked all the Fuses all checks out.. But I will Also call Outlaw, this is still a Great Amp!
