Spending quality time

[Rodney Bullock]

Well, now the coupe is back on the road and I can finally get a good nights sleep. The past three hours I have been working on the interior light. It gets dark sooner now and that light is very important. I tried to turn it on and nothing. I pride myself with having everything working in my old Plymouth so I took it out and cleaned it, wire brushed it and to my amazement it came on. I wonder how many of you have lights working in your car? dash, interior, glove box. I know we are working with 6volt here however that's no reason to be in the dark;)

Rodney..if you were good and treated eveyone right..there would be no need for lights at night...well except for maybe the vampires, zombies, ex-wives and the occasional wierwolf

Rodney, I had mine out after dark tonight for a short ride, no dash lights, but all the other lights and headlights worked fine, guess I have some detective work once I park the old girl for the winter. But to be honest, tonight is the first time in a number of years that I have ventured out after dark with her

I spent several hours working on the interior light, lense, wiring, and bezel. The bezel is brass with very little chrome left, so with a little clear on it, it looks very good. The light gets very warm with the big bulb if left on very long. I put some aluminum foil behind the light bulb. With the new dark green headliner, the brass bezel and light looks very good.....

It's nice to have a dome light working in the car. My dash lights,dome and glovebox light all work. The dome light is operated by the pillar switch. I also have a set of bulbs under the dash that go on with the turn of a switch.

My dash lights work on my D-19 but do not illuminate the gauges. I see the light under the dash but not in the gauges. The bulbs are in place. Thanks for reminding me, I need to look at that one of these days............Tim

all my iterior lights work, even my emergency brake warning light. which to me is the most important one inside. not good when you leave your emergecy brake on. found that out the hard way.

Rodney,

I've got the original wires (for most of) and of course 6V positive ground system.

Everything but dome light works - I guess I am fortunate as Gander Gladstone.

The only thing I have had to repair were the head light grounding (also renewed the wiring and bulbs) and the horns (contacts were pretty dirty & corroded).

Here in Finland the yearly inspection is very strict on lights and instruments.

No malfunctions allowed.

Well, the dome light then... A couple of years back the dodge almost caught fire when I switched the dome light on. Turned out the wire inside back door pillar had lost insulation. I disconnected the entire system and decided to run new wires all over when I'll have spare time for that- haven't had yet...

- Tim I see you belive in the law of karma: Bad things only due to bad people

- my experience in not in line with that philosophy

- thus I keep lights on even if I've been good

- when I'm being bad I run without lights, works for me...

[Rodney Bullock]

Oh no, wait. I'm supposed to have insulation

Tim, If I were any gooder I would have wings(no red bull)

Does your emergency brake not work?

it works great now. but, about 6 months ago had to replace the brake band lining.
