71 Cuda Panel Dimmer Switch

[dunney]

Hi Folks,

First post here, so please try to keep the flames to a minimum. The most recent post on my question here is over 120 days ago, so the site advised me to start a new topic. 

I just bought a beautiful little 71 money pit, and i go to take it for a spin one night, and *poof* my dash lights go out. The dome light still works, but no light on the interior gauges. I'm assuming all my interior gauge lights didn't go out at once, so I'm going with dimmer switch.

Can you fix the actual switch? I saw on another site there's a spring that falls out and there's a coil inside (seriously, how complicated is this switch?). Also, is JS Restorations still around and has anyone ever used them? All replies are welcome.

Thanks,

dunney

Jim from JS Restoration is still around, I just sent him all my original 71 switches and relays.

Contact Dave at Roseville. They have the JS restored ones in stock usually. They require yours for a core.

Oh OK cool. I will give it the ol' college try to see if I can fix the switch. Although considering I didn't do too well in college, I am not hopeful. Worst case, I'll call up Dave (or Jim). Thanks guys!
