Has anyone come across a genuinely waterproof battery cut off switch?
The back ground is that I needed to use my winch and after switching on the battery isolator switch all I got from the remote is a soft clicking from the solenoids, I tried the wired control but still only a few clicks from the solenoid. I figured the solenoid pack was probably duff so I started checking around with a multimeter and found I was only getting about 7 volts to the solenoid live terminal.
When I bypassed the kill switch all worked fine so I decided to open up the sealed switch and found it full of very, very fine damp mud that was preventing the contacts from touching. Opening the switch has ruined it so now I need to replace it but I want a much better waterproofing arrangement other than a soft plastic cap.....
Unfortunately the switch is quite exposed on the front grille of my Jimny and I don't want to move it to a more protected/less accessible location.
