Although there have been other suggestions onhere, and I haven't done the job yet

And I thought a pack of these would be good insurance against losing, breaking, chewing up any of the old ones

I’ve fitted my relay and screens, they are working but I’ve noticed the light doesnt come on on the button it did work but not now?
Thanks

Hmmmm.... there's not much to go wrong with it - it's an LED, not as bulb so shouldn't 'blow'.

Are you getting 12V to the screens? If you look at the diagram, the LED in the switch is powered from the output from the timer/relay, and so if the screens are getting power it should be on.

Can you unplug the switch and check the pins are all there and not bent, and it is plugged together tightly?
Also check you've got a good earth from the timer/relay - pin 2, black wire which has/had a ring terminal on the end, though if that earth wasn't good you wouldn't get 12V at the screen terminal.

Let me know if you find anything and we'll sort out replacement if needed   

Cheers,
Robin.

Cheers Robin, I will go out and check in a bit.
Thanks

Just sorted it, I took the heat shrink off the switch and the wire had come off the diode thingy, so 2 pairs of glasses and a soldering iron and it’s now ok.
For anyone that hasn’t fitted their screens yet I’d say be careful not to bend the wiring just behind the switch, the wires are quite fine.
This is probably what I did and snapped the wire off.
Cheers

Ah, thanks for sorting that out yourself - I thought the heat shrink would protect those joints, but obviously not in your case 

Cheers,
Robin.
