Slight error on my part. Your switch may be round, earlier was rectangular. Max Merritt lists them as available so you will need the entire assy if yours is missing. Kanter might have them also.

Again, even though a Patrician if you don't find any wires, cut off or just hanging, it may be an option not installed so those would have to be run as well. Instructions for full install are in the accessories section of manual.

Just above the drivers kick panel under dash there should be a bunch of wires going to back of car. I don't remember if yours is up across roof or down the floor to trunk. Either way, there should be one or two wires with black plastic connectors. Are any of those connectors empty or any wires just hanging there?

Here is a picture of the bracket and switch from Max Merritts sitehttp://www.maxmerrittauto.com/ as well as a picture of the earlier switch since that could also have been used if installed by a dealer or switch was replaced.

Also check with David Moe of Seattle Packards. He is a pretty good source of things like original switches and the such.

Thank All of You. Found 2 wires someone had cut and taped up with large cable comming out of firewall. One side hot from cluster and other side went to back up lights. All I need now is switch and bracket. Thanks Again
