69 GT500 Fog light switch

Center console fog lamp switch needed.

I discovered some melted wiring on my fog light switch in the center console. This must have happened years ago during assembly when we had a hot lead to the fog lights themselves.  It burned up my lamp wiring, which I did replace when we corrected the grounding situation. I never thought to check at the switch though. FYI, my fog light have continued to work all this time. I just don't like to see burned/melted wiring exposed.

Always double check and make sure of a positive connection for the plug of the switch where it connects to the harness. It is common for them to not be fully pushed together because they are tight. The lack of connection cause resistance which manifest itself as heating up the connection at that point which causes melting of the plug and in worst case situation causes a fire . I use the dielectric grease on the plug contacts and squeeze the plug together with Channellock slip lock jaw pliers.

Dielectric grease and channellocks. Got it. Now I just need the switch. Is there a way to "test" a switch before I put it in the car??

Multimeter is one way . A battery to supply power and a test light is another.

Ebay seller Dare Finds typically is way over the market price however some are willing to pay whatever for NOS . He is VERY difficult to deal with IMO. I hope that you don't have to find out. for those reading notice that the bat handles are black anodized as all assemblyline cars switch's are. It wears off but a reasonable similar look can be accomplished with a black sharpie.
