Speaking of repairing your headlight switch, has anyone found a good solution to the instrument light dimmer function in the switch? I've clean some of these dimmers up and they work okay; however, I came across one that doesn't have any continuity in the dimmer. It seems that a lot of these switches get the 'wiggle' treatment that KEVINSKI mentioned to get them to illuminate.
Hey Jon G, can you come up with some new component to retrofit these switches with to solve the dimmer functionality? The dimmer is staked into the switch bracket, but they can be removed with a little filing. A potentiometer comes to mind. How could we modify one to nest in the headlight switch bracket to improve its operation?
BTW, Jon's tutorial is excellent for reconditioning the headlight/parking light functionality. It should be a Tech Tip!
