taxbill Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 This is my first attempt at the forum . A friend of mine passed away leaving a 1989 that has not been driven sense 2014. His wife has asked me to sell the car. I have been able to get the car running and driving. The problem that I have is the headlight switch, the parking lights would not turn off. I removed the switch from the dash. When I took the covers off the switch this part fell on the work bench (see picture). I can not find where it goes. I was hoping that someone in the forum wold be able to in lighten me as to where it goes? I was able to get the switch working. This car has a sun roof is there way to tell if it is an original or an after market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the exterior of sunroof has a metal cover, then it is original. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxbill Posted August 17, 2023 Topic Author Share Posted August 17, 2023 It has a metal cover. I'm glad that it is an original this car needs all the help it can get. Thank you for the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derdachshund Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I just rebuilt my headlight switch, but it's a 1990, a bit different inside, and nothing like that fell out of mine. There is a good write up on rebuilding a headlight switch on the Antique Automobile Club of America site, but again, it is for a 1990. But I bet if you read the thread, take yours apart and compare, you can probably figure out where that bit came from. Good luck. -derdachshund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAVES89 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 It's been years since I have seen the inside of both the '88/89 switch and the '90/91 switch and from memory I believe they are not alike inside. Jim Finn should have good used ones he sells on exchange. I may have a "Driver" grade available for an outright sale. I would have to look. PM me if interested.

taxbill Posted August 21, 2023 Topic Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the offer. I will keep you in mind. The owner doesn't have a lot of money to spend on this car. So I am trying to keep the expenses to a minimum. I am still holding out hope that someone will know where this part goes. The one that I am working on is very similar to the one pictured in DAVES89 photo. It is Red/gray. Edited August 21, 2023 by taxbill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ship Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) For 1990, the fog light switch is part of the headlight mechanism. For 1991, the fog light switch is on the center console. Edited August 23, 2023 by ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
