I cannot get my front parking lights to work. Replaced bulbs, checked wiring, made sure they were plugged in, (one headlight wasn't!) so I'm guessing it is the light switch? It is somewhat hard to pull the switch out. Haven't taken the switch off but have inspected from under the dash. Looks a little rusty. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Wada

Run jumper wire from + side of battery to to conection at inner fender well (assuming it an early modlel). If you would let us know what were working on, it would make our job easer.

Wada,

Aren't there some terminal strips on the inner fender wells, both sides/front that are a junction for headlights and parking lights. They would be easy to probe with your voltage tester to see if the power made it that far.

I'm sorry, I thought I put my information up. I have a 1951 Chevy 3604. I checked the terminals and cleaned them, working good. When I had a mechanic make my truck road safe he took a look by bypassing the headlight wire at the terminal and they came on. He was pretty sure it was the switch. Just wanted a few more opinions before I spend $40 on a USED one, know what I mean?

Wada,

I haven't done the light switch drill, but I wonder if this could be a 'clean the contacts' kind of a deal...maybe a Coors & Crocus Cloth party! smile
