Atwood 87701 landing gear switch replacement

Question:

I have a 2004 Titanium 32DS37 and I think my landing gear switch needs replacing. The switch currently in the unit is labelled as an Atwood 87701. It 3 switches on the front left, right and both and has 12 wires connected to the back of the switch 6 red and 6 black. It looks like 6 wires go to each relay. I have found replacement 87701 switches but they all have only 6 wires on the back. That leaves me wondering how I would wire in the replacement switch. I have attached photos of the current switch.

The Atwood 87701-SP three-switch panel that you referred to is now obsolete, no longer made, and none in stock. The only wiring information I could find for you is a poor quality drawing from Atwood/Lippert which I have attached.

We do not have this part, or similar one, available. The only solution would be to create something using other parts like the Stromberg # LG-145236 or the JR Products # 37213635 switches. If it were me I would omit the center switch (both legs at once) and just use one switch for one leg, and one for the other.
