Re: Power Window Master Switch

G'day Don, I agree with you about Dick. He was a thorough gentleman and very knowledgeable about Packards, particularly the V8's. He looked after me and other Club members in Australia and all had the same opinion of him. A few years ago a Packard Club mate and I travelled to the US and we stayed a week with Dick and Nancy and had a great time. His sheds were full of Packards and parts and we did transact some parts business while we were there. I suppose all has been well and truly sold off by now - pity as he had a lot of good stuff which we could buy.
Now, I've been fiddling with my master switch and decided to try an experiment before going too much further. I took out the "L' shaped nylon push rods from each end of the switch and swapped them over. In other words, swapped the worn driver's window ones with a pair of good ones. I don't understand why but all windows now work, seemingly properly. I tried to take a photo of the push rods so others could see what I'm going on about, but I'm afraid my old shakey hands didn't do a very good job. I'll still keep a look out for another switch though for spare parts, but no hurry. Cheers, John
