1941 Headlight Switch

[Mark Wheeler #20241]

Having just completed a rewire of our 41.

Now the headlight switch is shorting.

Does anyone know of a source of the switches or a another switch that can be substituted.

Cheers

Mark,

Just completed a new wiring harness on my 1942 7523 at Thanksgiving. initially had the same problem. the breaker on the switch kept cycling. I discovered I had put the power supply to the dash clock on the wrong stud. If it is on the top stud move it to the bottom. If that does not solve the problem, you will need to recheck your connections as something is drawing amps directly to ground through the switch.

Remember that the light switch is the main power buss for the car. Hope this helps.

When you said your switch kept cycling what did you mean?  I have a problem with my 41 6109 that I can't seem to diagnose. All my lights flicker. Could a bad switch cause this?
Thanks
