Re: 65 heater control lighting

I might also ask if anyone knows why all the instrument panel lamps on all C2s seem so dim. I don’t remember that being a problem in the 60s (of course I had teenage eyes back then, that might have something to do with it)

Check headlight switch. Is it the correct part number? Also, the rheostat (sp) may be dirty, on the switch.

I would make sure the bullet end is pointing in the right direction. And also the green cover is clean. the translucent plastic being new helps too.

Re: 65 heater control lighting

Found problem with heater control lighting: no bullet lamp attached to clock, lamp socket with grey wire hanging loose down near radio. Doesn’t make much light for the heater controls like that….Now to find the proper hardware, wish me luck…I need one of these:

If you know where to find one, please let me know.

Thanks,

Re: 65 heater control lighting

Michael, there are supposed to be green covers that go over the lamp covers.

Look in the Long Island catalog, Section 12: 59A, 59B. I know Long Island has sold to Zip, but you will know what to ask for.

Harry, is the switch part number visible without removing the switch?
