Re: IML: Headlight Switch Removal



Ya, I already did that 49 bazillion times, but i'll try it another bazillion to be sure.  Last week I had them working until I hit a bump, then i got the working again, until I turned on the dome lights, but now there is nothing.

Can anyone tell me the economical way to remove the headlight switch on my 64 LeBaron?  I have to replace my switch because the instrument panel lights do not work. The fuse is good, and the lights worked intermittantly, but since the trip to Carlisle last week, they just stopped working. I don't think the whitewalls have anything to do with it.
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!
