shop Vac Repair?

My shop vac quit. The on /off switch doesn't work. How do I replace it?

Presumably you mean the permanent dust extractor in your workshop?

Either buy a new switch and replace it or - bypass the existing switch (join the wires together with an insulated terminal block) and arrange external control - i.e. pull the plug or throw the switch on socket plate.

A more professional alternative is to make your own external switch box with parts from an electronics store. You will need...

Small plastic Box
Toggle, Push or Rocker Switch (illuminated rocker is good - all sorts of colors)
Two cable glands - one in and one out
Connection cables

Say $20 and two hours maybe...

Good luck...
