I found out while hooked up to land power, the 12 volt pulls directly though the converter. The switch was fine. If I unplug from 120, the switch works perfectly turning the 12 volt power off. But again while hooked up, the switch is bypassed so you have 12 volt electricity all the time.

The problems comes in when your wiring something on the 12 volt side. To turn off the power, and if your hooked up to 120 voltage, it won't turn off the 12 volt DC power. You have to disconnect before the switch will work or unplug the converter temporarily. Lesson learned!

I replaced the switch to find out it was OK. So now I have a spare!
