The method to solve the problem of rocker switch KCD4:
The spring displacement and the aging deformation of the plastic bracket make the switch inflexible.
It can be disassembled after power failure. If the plastic part is not damaged, it may be repaired.

The neutral line inside the switch is straight-through and has nothing to do with the switching element.
Therefore, if the switch jumps to the air switch, the insulation layer of the neutral wire of the switch will be damaged.
You can cut off the damaged part and reconnect the wiring.

Pay attention to insulation to ensure. It is also possible that the indicator pin is short-circuited, just re-wiring.
