Light switch
My light switch turns whenever I turn the steering wheel. What's needed to keep it from turning?

Re: Light switch
Mine on my '29 Tudor was like that for years. Found out that my steering column was bent. All fixed now. The steering column was a bear to straighten.

Re: Light switch
Farmer, the Light Switch Rod (inside the Steering Shaft in the Column) may be bent. They can be bent when trying to remove them. Especially on closed cars without lowering the steering column. They can be straightened but requires a lot of patience.

Re: Light switch
I had the same problem, It's a classic on Mod A s. While your switch rod may be bent, if the problem has just begun, it may be a small brass bearing/bushing that is at the top of the rod/column. #5050 in Brattons, pg 21 $1.95
