Rewiring phase of the '53 GMC 1/2 ton 12 volt. The headlamp switch does not have a post for the Stop light wire. It has connectors for head,park,tail,batt,dash and aux. Assume I can connect dome to aux post. Do I need another switch $$ or is there a way to make this work?

The stop light should have it,s own fuse & come off a hot circuit.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

John,

I do not know the configuration of a GMC switch. Below is a picture of many Chevy switches. The stoplight (and dome light) should always be hot, so either the battery lead or any another lead that is always hot would seem like good choices.

Tim,

Thanks for the reply. Is the Aux hot or the same as Batt(always hot)? I was going to hook the dome up to the aux and I guess I could use the aux or batt to do the same for the stoplight?

John
