Got a problem with the horn on my GP light switch, I am certain it’s the switch as I have earthed the horn and it works. I can’t get the outer casing off to see if it can fixed I know the original switch you unscrewed the two brass tubes where the screws go but any idea on a casa one

if its like the orig lammy ones you can carefully prize the two apart, but be carefull around the toggle switch (full/dip)

Jeff, some of the switches used brass tubes, peened-over (I think that is the correct word) at each end to secure the two halves of the switch. They are fiddly to separate and even worse to put back together, but it can be done.

If you want to make your own replacement tubes, buy some brass tube from eBay. Model engineers use it when making steam engines. It is quite cheap.

Thanks both, I have tried to split but no joy , going to take it off and try if not looks like I need a new one
