Reply to "Erica needs to get hosed....."

Those e-switches are used by a whole bunch of European cars- I once wrote an article around adapting a visually identical one salvaged from a '72 Alfa. Then one of the vendors called to mention that he had brand new repros on the shelf for less than $50.... Not all the used ones found in wrecking yards have the same wire orientation, either. You'll have to check continuity on each of the 8 lugs to find out where your wires should connect.

And as for disassembling, there are two different switches used as OEM on Panteras, and far from being 'early' or 'late', they seem to have been used by batch. The plastic body swells over the decades from internal spring pressure, which allows the spring-arm-with-pin to pop out of the cam-groove in the inner body. Besides the one shown in Steve's post, there's a second that's held together by a small flat steel frame with only 3 tabs to bend. Possibly easiest fix is removing the switch, squeezing the body and trying the switch to see if the pin is in the groove, then wrapping the body with a small worm-drive hose clamp- not too tight or you seize the switch action.

Not fixing it and jamming the button in with a toothpick redneck-style also works, with a caution: pushing the button in too far disconnects the tail lights & stoplights on your car. Not to worry: there are plenty of police who will point this out to you, along with a fix-it-ticket...
