This time of the year I seem to use lights as much as not. Cheap switches are the name of the game and all seem to be made in China. Cheaply.
My daily chore vehicle is still my 35 Chevy 1.5 ton. I seem to go through a switch in short order. I?ve tried them from everywhere. They all fail for different reasons - this one shorted internally and grounded out only when mounted in the dash (that was fun to trace).
All of the replacement switches for a truck this old (still 6 volt) are generic. I?ve ordered from about everywhere and used auto parts switches as well. I just threw in some toggle switch I had laying around for the time being.
Anyone have a place to order good quality light switches? Two headlights, a couple of gauge lights, and a tail light. Not a lot of draw. Ammeter shows the draw to be 12 amps or so (17 amp generator keeps up so it isn?t much).
