Ian L Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Anyone know where I can get a new or used switch for my Austin ? Centre ignition switch works ok but light switch is playing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivor Ramsden Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Before replacing it, try a good dose of WD40 or similar in the back of the switch followed by switching on and off many times. This should clear any corrosion that's on the contacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radek Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 look insite the switch. on dashboard is fixed with wire around the body with screw. Mark all electric wires and disconect. When you have the PLC2 out. Push on the front face and turn right. You have put the tongues to the holes. Be carefull inside is spring. After then check contacts inside body. I hope that my english id enough for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean N Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Radek is correct. These are normally quite straightforward to dismantle and clean up or repair. There is often nothing wrong with them that a bit of TLC won't fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
