  • Electrical: 1963-1965 Dash Switches

    Are the 1963-1965 switches in white back lit? In otherwords, does the white portion light up? If not, has anyone taken an otherwise good switch that's discolored and refinished it in white? I figuired I'd redo the dash panel while it's 90* down here.

    The switches are not lit, just the identification bars above have bulbs that light.

      Thanks Warren. I guess I'll remove the switches and sand them (gently) for paint. I'd like them to be nice and bright.

        I'm guessing the fan switch was replaced at one time or another. The other switches have phillips head screws and this switch has flat tip screws. Anyone have a pair of screws?

          They seem to be a fairly rare commodity.Nobody had any when I was at York and the fastener vendors I talked to at Carlisle didn't have anything that small.I am looking for maybe 4 or 6 of them for my SCDB (second car dashboard)project.

            I have a few dashes, 63-64's.....I'm sure I have switches, some NOS and plenty of screws. I'm on to a 62' so don't need them.....

              My switches should be fine. They all discolor. But I could use 6 screws. I found out they use the same screws to hold in the heater controls. I no longer have them. $3 plus shipping? I also need the 'FAN' and 'WIPER' applique that lights up. It is broken in one of the corners.

                I have the fan wiper applique, if you want it. PM me your address and I will send it to you.
