Re: [AMC-List] 65 Marlin Instrum Bulbs/headlight swtich

[Ken Siroonian <KSiroonian@xxxxxxx>]

are all the light switches pretty much the same?. Seems I  may have a
similar issue with the headlight switch of the 79 pacer I am working
on, you pull the light switch out and the lights come on but when you
turn the knob for the dash dinner, there seems to be dead spots where
as the light intensity is supposed to increase it goes dead then
reappears. If i play with the switch a bit the lights will increase and 
stay on. wondered if there were contact in it, like a rehostat or
somehing to clean with tv tuner, wd 40 or something else, instead of
replacing the swtich, or maybe the contact for it needs to be adjusted? 
thanks, regards, and HAPPY AMCNEW YEARS. Ken. boston.

That did help some (no more dead spots).  The light for the center
console was nice and bright at full illumination, so I wsn't suspecting 
the light switch since it is on the same circuit (through the light
switch). Actually, I am not really sure how bright these lights should
be. I know I wasn't a bright in the 60's, so I am guessing the dash
lights were a little dimmer than what we are used to today.
