This is very common. The touch module is located in the base of the lamp. Usually it's a little black box. I found it is much easier and considerably cheaper to simply remove the touch control and rewire the lamp for a standard 3-way socket and bulb.
The touch controls are hard to find and really don't typically last more than a few years. A total rewire including a new 3-way socket should only cost about $6 if you're doing it yourself.
If you need further instructions, let me know. I'm trying to find a source for the modules. If you know of one let me know. |
