31 light switch
Probable a Dumb question .
I purchased a light switch from Snyders and it has never operated correctly,maybe they sent the wrong one.Is there a difference in year models? My old one had kinda worn out ,not sure it was original since the car had been restored before I bought it . When I hooked up the wires according to Andrews manual the Low Beam headlights would not light up .using a "hot" jumper wire directly to the contact for low beam they light up . I'm not new at this but dont have a club near by join so maybe some of you can help out here. I switched contacts around nothing helped,even used some "contact" cleaner. I figure it has to be in the new switch not making contact with the low beam contact..I have read where the reproduction switches are junk,where can I purchase a good reproduction switch? |

Re: 31 light switch
You're better off with a good original IMO. Bert's quite possibly has them and they are usually in the $1 bins at the swap meets if you dig around.

Re: 31 light switch
I had replaced the contacts in ours with repro contacts and kept the original housing and it worked terrible, really bad binding. I then replaced the housing with a repro and all works great.
I have only had one experience but it seemed to me you have to replace the contacts and housing as a set if going with new parts. |
