I'll take a good look at it. I might be able to come up with another switch locally in a V8 parts collection. I can swap it out and see what happens. Otherwise I'll get on each connection and switch position with a voltmeter and follow the issue from the dash switch to the front of the car. I've already done some of that troubleshooting.

Everything else works on this car, including the courtesy lights on the "B" pillars and with the help of the recent thread about the 42-48 clocks, I got the clock working again. The heater even works really well. It's a fun car to drive.

On a side note, was there a glove box light available in 1948? If not did Ford ever offer a glove box light?
