Hi Jan
If this switch is like the Herald 1360 light switch (2 stage pull switch) I
had a similar problem that put the lights out more than once! The insulation
on one of the spade terminals had been up against part of the dash frame and
wore through, allowing the contact to short to ground, it depended on the
direction in which you pulled the switch, slightly downwards with the force
and no problem, slightly upwards with the force and pow!

Subject: Heater Switch Short

| I have a short in my heater wiring. If I pull the heater switch to the
"on"

to
| where the most logical location and/or cause for the short in a TR6 heater
| switch?
