Previously I was looking for potential answers because suddenly I had no working head lights, they neither opened nor lit up. You all provided ideas about solving the dilemma. I tried a few ideas but had to put the project aside for a few days. This morning, with daylight, I drove to a car show and just for the hell of it tried the lights. You guessed it, they worked just fine.

So, knowing this, what would you guess is happening here? A sticking switch?

I agree with MJ, I would say your switch is getting bad.  After 50 years and heat from the amps running through the witch makes the plastic brittle and will not always make contact.  When I took my switch out it fell apart.  If you buy a new switch, I would add some relays.  You can talk to Roland how he did it or check with Jon Hass at Pantera Electronics, he make a board to do this.  Larry

Yes, I scratched my head a little bit reading your LeMans850 post (with the picture of two switches), but then figured out!

As I have said, you (and Tom) are OOC!

PS. Are the yellow lights on the top switch and the headlights on the bottom one, just to mix it up a little?

PSS. Iā€™m sure Iā€™m not alone in wondering what is that symbol (that looks like lady parts) on the switch above your voltmeter?
