Re: IML: Headlight Switch Removal

["Lupe Rodriguez" <lupee@xxxxxxx>]

I have the same problem as Bill:
How in the sam hill do I get enough length to the harness so 
I can disconnect it? I don't want to pull hard on the 
harness for fear of messing up something. In the event I can 
get this light switch off, can I go to the nearest auto 
parts store and buy a new one? I tried the bazillion turns 
already.

I have the same problem in my '64 and will try that.  If it 
fails to get
results how the heck do you get that switch out of there?  I 
have freed mine
from the dash before but the harness was not long enough for 
me to pull it
down to a level that I could disconnect it  :o|

Mark -- before you replace the switch, spend an hour or two 
turning it back
and forth fifty-bazillion times.  The spring and contact for 
the instrument
lights both tend to accumulate corrosion over the years.  If 
you rotate the
knob a BUNCH of times, you can probably clean it well enough 
for the dash
panel lights to work again.

Hope this helps!
