Does anyone know if the radio has a bulb behind the tuner glass? I was able to get our map light working in our 55 Patrician but only comes on when the pass and driver doors are open. I thought it would come on when the headlights and dash lights are on

Parking brake was fixed today, just a couple new cotter pins. The next item on my to do list is to fix the speedometer. It’s working “somewhat” but has a mind of its own. Sometimes it’ll bounce around 40-50mph but lately it’s been pegged at 100mph. It also sounds like a seal getting electrocuted and gets louder or softer depending on throttle position. Am I looking at stripped gears, or can we get a replacement cable?

When the issue first started, we heard the starter "running" while the engine was running. After we shut the engine down, we still heard the starter. It will only stop once we disconnect the battery

Thank you all for the advice and help. We got the starter pulled down and noticed the armature was sticking/getting stuck. We cleaned it up and greased it up a little. We tested it before we reinstalled and it didn’t spin when the battery was hooked back up. Upon reinstalling, the same issue as before. We are having it taken to our friends shop to look into it further on their drive on instead of us on the ground on our backs. At this point, bad solenoid? We did notice that the boot was ripped

1955 Patrician Starter issue

Good morning, we are new the the Packard world and just bought our first Packard. We bought a 55 Patrician that had been sitting for 2-3 years. We were able to get it started before we had purchased it and started and drove it up on the rollback to take back home.
Once we got home, we tried to start it to back it into our garage and now the starter just keeps spinning with the ignition off. The only way to stop it is to disconnect the battery. From what weve read in a service manual, I think we have the Delco starter? (Please correct us if we are wrong, we are still learning). Any help or advice would be appreciated.
