I would measure the distance between the pins. If it is the same as yours, it should work. I can't tell by the picture if the "case" on your switch mounts through the PCB. If so, Digikey has a few with that configuration. See below. Worst case scenario, you connect the Amazon switch with individual wires and remotely mount the switch somewhere else. www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/nkk-switches/MS12ASG13/1052535

By the way, have you tried a shot of contact/tuner cleaner?

I thought that the pieces on the side were basically just feet for the switch, I didn't think they went through the board to mount it. I had thought about wiring in a stand alone toggle switch but, the original switch has 3 pins....what is the "extra" pin?

By the way, have you tried a shot of contact/tuner cleaner? I guess I could but I think the switch is definitely on it's way out. In the off position, the camper movement from normal body movement will sometimes power it on as well as the opposite when in the on position.

If you look at the other side of the PCB, the 3rd pin may not be connected to anything. Worth a shot.

try taking the whole pcb to an electronic store they may be able to match up the switch you need or find a newer type

Looks like a standard SPST switch. The one in that link should work if the distance between the holes in the board match. I imagine pin 2 is ground and 3 is energized based on the pic?

I just happened look at this thread. Slide switches have bad reliability and short movement lives even if the current is minimal. If your switch has just two positions and three contacts it is a SPDT switch. If you have a place to mount it, I would replace the slide switch with a SPDT toggle switch (the maintained, not the momentary variety). A bonus is that the circuit board will not be subject to mechanical stresses when you change the switch position.
