Anybody have a good brand name for a headlight switch, pull type, 2 position, six volts?
I was driving the '46 ton-and-a-half (any time I've got my druthers, I'll drive the '46) to Georgetown this morning just before dawn, still dark enough to need lights, and the dang headlights and everything that works through the headlight switch went dark. I was able to limp off the frontage road and into a parking lot in about 500 feet, but it sure put a crimp on my gettin' to town when I needed to.
The parts store has sold me Borg Warner switches before, but I'm tired to swappin' out headlight switches every two years or so.
This makes the third time the connection at the fused end of fuse receptacle (not at the hot end of the fused receptacle) is the apparent culprit. This connection is always hot, but I know it is not grounding. Even so, after time and use, this is the connection that shows definite excessive heat, appears to burn just enough to fail (and let out what little smoke is built in), and render the head lamps, parking lamps, clearance lamps, dash lamps, brake and tail lamps dark every time. BUT, the fuse is not blown, and I am not reading excessive amps once the replacement goes in. Therefore, I lean toward switch quality.
Any recommendations?
