The lightbulb for the ignition switch is on the same circuit as the dashboard lights, so if they work, then the headlight switch is ok.


Tobs, I don't know if your car is different for European standards but originally the ign light was wired in parallel with the park lights and was fed from the park light terminal of the headlight switch. With that wiring, it is only on if you pull the headlight switch to the first position. When the headlight switch reaches the second or headlight position, in the US cars the park lights would go out and so would the ign key light. The dash lights are fed from the tail light terminal of the headlight switch and are on in both positions.
