Hi Howard - When I turn the headlight switch to engage the dash lights they turn on, maybe not right away but at some point in the revolution of the knob they turn on and then will flutter and turn off if you turn a little more. This is impacting all interior lights - Due to the wiring being in such poor condition (especially once it leaves the cabin into the engine bay) I have disconnected the headlights so I don't know if what I am experiencing with the switch also impacts the headlights.

I'm leaving now to try to find some tiny allen wrenches to remove the knob (maybe eye glass repair tools?). Then get a small needle nose in the notch of the bezel holding the switch to the dash to see if I can get the switch off. Then use some grinding compound to clean them up and hope for the best

As always, thank you Sir!
