Yeah the headlight switches are a known sore spot in Packards, they always go bad eventually and are very difficult to remove/repair.


I can only imagine trying to replace the original one . I still need to get the other lights working and the speedo and horn . lots of fun ahead for sure .

Thank you it is a replacement switch and not original so that does make sense. I did notice on the drawing wires coming to or from the starter switch . So that explains why the car needed to be running . My guess is the original owner could not find or did not want to deal with it so he bought a basic switch to drive the next owner nuts :)

well i now have lights . I'm embarrassed to tell you all the reason for no lights was due to not having the car running lol . I did learn much and even replaced the switch which being corroded may have also been a issue . Either way I had fun learning and feel good no matter how small the victory :) Now I'm going to tackle the non working horn .

Thank you for the response and the detailed explanation . Yes mine has been changed and if this is the issue I'm going to need a agile small fingered friend to help me lol I will start chasing voltage down tomorrow and report back . this issue may also be related to the battery going dead within 15 min of shutting her down . So far I have not found the sourse but i will keep at it . Thanks for the reply
