Thanks for the replies gents. Howard I rephotographed the switch as requested. (below) On this switch, all that was connected to it was what you show as the power lead. When you say the reading light, is that the overhead cabin light you are referring to?? As it has a switch on the passenger side door pillar. Does this switch override that one, so the driver can turn on the light without having to reach across the car??
The unit is tight - that is the rivets on all 3 lead screws are secure and I cannot detect any movement or play in the brass shaft itself. How would one test this unit for diminishing voltage? It sure seems to be a quality built piece; made to last, that's for sure. Also, any idea how I can track down the other 2 missing wires? Like I said, I'm a bit of a puddin'- head when it comes to electrical, but I eventually figure it out! Thanks for your time, (and patience!) much apprec. Chris.
