I have a 75 Avion, looks like my Main/Aux Switch is broken 
Do anyone have a working one they can part with? Can you buy them new?

Try taking the switch apart, cleaning the contacts, and putting it back together. It worked for me. In fact, that's what Jim K suggested I try before buying an expensive replacement.

Another reason to use "real" GMC motorhome vendors.
How many counter 'guys' at parts stores would have even known that the switch could be disassembled and repaired? (And if they did would they have told you and lost a sale?)

I never would have tried that, but it came right apart, the foam had tuned to dust and got between the contacts. Thanks Guys
