A direct-replacement electrical kit for Lippert slide-out and leveling system controls. This kit bundles the switch (part 198462) and the wiring harness (part 196617) together so you can restore full operation without hunting down two separate components. Purpose-built for Lippert systems, it plugs into existing connectors and requires no splicing or fabrication.
Lippert is the dominant supplier of slide-out mechanisms, leveling systems, and related electrical hardware across the North American RV industry. When a switch or harness fails -- whether from heat cycling, moisture intrusion, or simple wear -- using the correct Lippert-matched replacement matters. Generic substitutes often require connector modifications and can introduce intermittent faults that are difficult to diagnose.
The 199078 kit eliminates the guesswork by pairing the exact switch assembly (198462) and wiring harness (196617) that Lippert designed to work together. This is the same combination used in original equipment installations, which means no adapter pigtails, no forced connector swaps, and no trips back to the shop for a second round of troubleshooting.
Includes Lippert switch 198462 and harness 196617 -- sold together as assembly 199078 so both components are matched from the factory.
Designed to mate with existing Lippert connectors in the slide-out or leveling control circuit. No splicing required under normal replacement conditions.
Sourced from Lippert Components, ensuring correct resistance ratings, contact materials, and harness gauge for the target application.
Bundling the switch and harness together means one order covers both wear items that typically fail together, reducing downtime.
In Lippert slide-out and leveling circuits, the switch and harness are a matched assembly. If the harness has suffered heat or moisture damage that caused the switch to fail, replacing the switch alone and leaving a compromised harness in place often leads to a repeat failure. The 199078 kit addresses both components in a single service event.
This kit is associated with Lippert electric slide-out and leveling system control circuits. Lippert slide-out systems are found across a wide range of fifth wheels, travel trailers, and Class A and C motorhomes from manufacturers including Forest River, Keystone, Coachmen, Heartland, and others. Verify your specific slide-out model and control board revision against Lippert's parts lookup or your coach's original equipment list before ordering.
Lippert produces numerous switch and harness variants across different system generations. Confirm that part numbers 198462 and 196617 appear in your coach's parts list or on the components being replaced before installation. Using an incorrect harness on a Lippert system can cause control faults or prevent operation.
