<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Forgot to mention to clean out old
switches by injecting plenty of WD40, operating them say 20 times
and then rinse them out as well as possible with WD40.<br>
I do this on a regular bases, say once every 5 years and hardly
ever have any switch problems<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">It may have been the switch but as
the wiring harness was replaced recently it may have been a
loose connection.<br>
Inspect the loom carefully for molten/damaged wires along the
line especially when a bundle of wires are wrapped together.<br>
It is always advisable to use these old switches for operating a
relay that in turn will switch the headlights. The same goes for
any items using a fair bit of electricity, blower motor,
windscreen wipers, horns etc.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">On a recent outing I noticed smoke
emanating from under the dash when the headlamps were
switched on. My 13 year old son thought we were going up in
flames and decided to walk home. With the lights off no more
smoke or burnt plastic smell occurred and I easily beat my
son home. I disconnected the what was left of the two red
wires, no damage to any other wires. The switch is the
original Lucas unit for a 1958 100-Six. Should I assume that
it was the switch that failed or should I be looking for
something else. The harness was replaced during the
restoration but the switches were kept.</p>
