Re: 240 headlight switches... 200 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be Dave Stevens on  Thu Nov 30 20:24 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Multiple choice answer:

a) Up to at least '85 there were no headlight relays in the 240 so full current went through the switch

b) Adding high output headlights and other non-OEM lighting draws more current through the switch

c) The connector on the back of the switch constantly moves a miniscule amount over time due to vibration and expansion/contraction eventually leading to a point of high resistance

d) You are cursed

e) All of the above :)
