You may want to post this in the wanted section. Do you have a switch that is not working, or missing? There is a difference between the Standard and Dlx dash knob color, but the knob can be changed.

The switch does not work. It is the original one. The suppliers I know do not have it. I can get the knobs, but not the entire switch. Thanks for your response.

It is possible to repair the old switch. Carefully bend the tabs on the rear and it will come apart. You can the clean and reassemble it. Remember, the switch is on when it is pushed in and off when pulled out. Strange, but true.

Before taking it apart...If the two wire terminals seem to be bent toward each other, try to insert a piece of plastic between the terminals so the plastic forces the terminals straight. You will have to leave the plastic in place, so trim it . Then try the switch. The 36 and 37 dash light switches are the same except for the knob.

Yes, I did try to repair but it is beyond repair. the inside components are just worn out. It has a thick paper or card inside it is all but gone. It is part of the switch itself. Can not replace it. Thank you for your response.

The P/N of the switch is 68-13740. Can you post photos of your switch, after you have taken it apart, we may be able to give you some ideas on how to repair it.
