BobT-47P15 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Doesn't look like the dimmer switch on my P15. Mine looks like this.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodFitch Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I guess they changed the connectors over the years. This one will work on my car: http://www.napaonline.com/Search/Detail.aspx?R=ECHDS108_0150849328 My notes say that a Standard Blue-Streak DS-47 will also work in addition to the NAPA ECH DS108 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyHarold Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 They also have a Standard Motor Products DS68T with the same applications for $2.60. Go figure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered a dimmer switch from them. It has been 12 days and the order is listed as "picking parts". I sent an email Monday and got no response. I called today to follow up on the order and they do not even take phone calls they told me to leave a message and someone would get back to me. I need the part - I'd have been better to pay the extra $10 to buy it from Bernbaum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I typically then go to my "local good auto supply", the ones with the older folk and paper catalogs, and order the parts over the counter. Having the NAPA number helps them cross reference the part into their system. Usually the stuff I need is either in stock or available from their warehouse later the same day. This does a couple of things: 1) I get the part fast. 2) I get to see the part before paying for it. 3) I help keep these local people in business.

Young Ed Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Dave I have never tried Napa online either. They guys at my local napa all know me by name and order whatever I want. I do use the online stuff to research parts and will frequently walk in with an online print out to have them order me the part. Just yesterday I picked up a signal stat 900 turn signal unit and some sorta 70s GM relay to use for the siren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you I usually go into the store but when I called the White Bear NAPA store they said they would have to order and I would have to come in and prepay. I finally talked to a real person on their on-line 800 number and he said the dimmer switch was on back order. I then called Bernbaum and he said they are out of stock on them too. Since there are so many 6v MOPARS from the 40's and 50's that use this dimmer stitch I am surprised there aren't more options. The wires to my old switch are in tough shape but the dimmer itself seems to work so I suppose I could splice new wires to the ends of the old ones that go into the switch. Unfortunately my switch does not have screw terminals it looks like the ends of the wires are soldered in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Dave your old switch should use those bullet connectors we talked about before. The male end goes on the wire and the female is on the switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
