Beautiful day again today, Hubby and numba2 went for a drive in Marilyn, might be the last top down for the Fall, weather is supposed to go to ****, again tomorrow.

Me I was servicing the new (!) sewing machine I got in yesterdays drive, and I have yet to check out the festoon lights we bought, one thing at a time.

Next weeks job is to to check out the signal indicator/hi/low/beam switch, the high beam doesn't work, but all other bits do. So have searched threads and see that it is most likely a little alignment problem in the connectors of the switch, so will be checking it out. Not looking forward to pulling the steering wheel, didn't enjoy that job on Pusha, although it is not difficult , there is just so little room when working on the interior, and after redoing all of the dash and the interior of Pusha, I spend weeks inside that thing, and I was always a stiff as an 80 year old after working in there. But I have to do this to pass the certification required to register her in Maryland, I would think.
Azzy, you will quickly find getting the switch out is not much fun. Back 15 years ago when mine started acting up I tried the cheap fixes. That was just a waste of time for me. It would work for a few months and when bad again. The FIX was to replace the switch. I suspect if you dig around on the technical section you will find the consensus is to replace the switch. It has been 15 years and 50 or 60 thousand miles and no problem yet. It is likely due to wear out again soon.
