The other night I was coming home (1940 Deluxe, 6 volt, positive ground) and the headlights started flickering off and on. The first thing I thought of was a partially broken wire somewhere. I didn't find a broken wire anywhere, but when I pulled out the switch on the dash and turned it on, the headlight wire became hot to the touch. I've got 6.37 volts coming out of the switch to the headlight wire so I assume the switch is good. Do I have a bare spot somewhere grounding to the car? Electrical is not my strong suite. Thanks.
