<VV> Late Model Light Switch

[J R Read]

I'm thinking...  return your "new" one and go elsewhere for a replacement 
switch (different store and/or manufacturer).  If the NEW "new" one still 
has the same problem, it is a pretty safe bet that the problem is somewhere 
other than the switch.

About 3 years ago, I replaced the headlight switch with one from a FLAPS. 
It is NOT like the original switch.  Well looks pretty much the same, but 
acts different.  There are 3 (instead of the 2 I'm used to) pull out 
positions.  Not counting the off position, the first pull out turns on only 
the dash lights.  The second adds the parking (front and rear) and license 
plate lights, and finally - the third turns on the headlights (with the 
front parking lights off).

Later, JR
