Electric Bed Key Switch Upgrade (1 Viewer)

[DDJC]

If you have an electric bed in your bus, you probably have one of these types of key switch.

You will know that the key is tiny and would have been stronger if it had been made out of cardboard. Basically, ours firstly bent then simply snapped off in the lock. Took me an hour of fishing to get the broken bit out.

So get one of these replacements.

The tubular key single pole switches are much harder to damage and cost peanuts. I got mine from here: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/key-switches/0182562/ but I bet you could get it cheaper. Make sure it is single pole.

I could have done it, but the bus was down at Johns Cross for a few bits so I asked them to do it.

We have an electric bed. We press the top of the button and it goes up and the bottom and it comes down. It also has a reset switch for the fuse to stop major overloads. Why do you need a lock?

a) it came with one fitted

b) two boys with severe autism who have no concept of how much they could hurt each other if the 'up' button was pressed with one of them in bed.

Hence ours trips. Same result. Good luck with the autism, cannot be easy

Just thinking that Adria put theirs amidship so in the event of it descending the driver wouldn't be taken out.

Not in their A Class Sonics, it’s right above my head

So do you have a key on your Sonic? This key concept has come as a surprise to me .

Was considering fitting some kind of remote control to ours, but not had time to think yet.

Nope, no key in the sonic, just the up/down button
