Yesterday morning as I entered the garage to start work on my airplane, I noticed that everything on the main buss was turned on. I naturally assumed I'd forgotten to turn off the master battery switch. Imagine my surprise when I went to turn it off and found it was already off. I have a Cessna type switch (from Spruce) with a split Alt/Bat rocker. Sure enough after some investigating I found that the Bat side was connected no matter what the position of the switch. I've only had this switch installed for about 6 months so it seems strange that it should fail so soon.
My question is, did I just get a bad switch or is it possible that something else caused the failure?
