. junk headlight re-POP switch from chevy duty
https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/706910/NEW_repop_high_$$$__H/L_switch.html#Post706910
Classic Parts of America aka chevy duty sent a defective H/L switch.
hummmmmmm
they will re send a new one but the hassle is a hassle
after i installed it...... it did NOT WORK. I then did a simple continuity check x2, with my VOM and confirmed that the switch did NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY i called CP of A. then I went back outside to unwire / rewire my old switch, the NEW switch CAME COMPLETELY APART IN MY HANDS. the top plate lifted off exposing the guts and three small springs, the four fold over tabs are thin and apparently not bent over properely and this is their expensive switch @ $45.00.
first photo shows the swap, everything is going just fine. HEY it's a brand new part, i should not have to double check it @ 45bucks. i took the first to place in my photobucket site. pix

Jim, I've still to investigate,but I suspect I have a defective switch.
I recently hooked up my new loom, followed the instructions to the letter and guess what,it doesn't appear to work.
Mine came from Truckandcarshop.com
Cheap ROC trash....
With the knob pulled out to full extension it flaps about terribly,I have no park,dip or main beams,plus the dimmer function doesn't work.
The rear park lights work fine.
What is this Cole Hersee switch? Care to expand?

Jim, ask them why they except such junk from vendors..... and see if they tell you the same thing they told me over a piece of their junk...this is what they told me "we been selling this part for years and haven't had any problems"
Yet, I sent them a FEW post to show how my particular part was a piece of junk and they never responed anymore. That was two years ago...still no answer!! LOL
Cole Hersee is one of the manufacturers that a lot of OEM over the trucks use. Most Navistar part numbers are a Cole Hersee. They don't make reproductions, but they do make stuff that works.
