I started my car tonight and noticed despite the headlight switch being fully in the off position, my dash lights are on and my license plate light is .
Odd. Never saw that before. Headlight switch I imagine.... Thoughts? David Addedum-and saw what I thought was a wisp of smoke come from under my dash at the windshield....perhaps my imagination? |

HalfMoon, I have the exact same issue as you and am currently waiting on delivery of a "new to me" switch. Anyway, I'm going to open up my old one (the later fat switch with extra terminal from my 75 2.0) and will let you know what I discover.
I've also been having an issue with my passenger light not coming up (but going down fine), so I think my switch finally melted on me. Also, right now, with the car on and volts at 12+, turning on my headlights makes my drivers side light go up and down continuously - as if it had a low voltage condition. My passenger side light still doesn't pop up on its on. |
