Thanks Jerry...I wondered what that spring loaded button at the top of the new switch was. Sounds not too complicated.

I will trouble shoot the possible bad ground for the right tail light not coming on with the head lights ( it does still work for breaks and turn signal)

What about my second issue....the fact that the dash indicator flashes for left but not right turns....but the tail light does blink?

Appreciate your help from rain soaked southern Ontario!
