66 Heater Switch

[Walter R.]

Purchased new heater switch from LIC and the switch received requires that I take the wire leads that plug into the switch out of the plug connector that is on wireing harness and use individual connectors that are provided with part. I see other suppliers heater switch listed with individual connectors as well. I don't want to change to individual leads as this was not original as delivered. Are there any alternatives?

Maybe find a used or NOS unit, look on e-bay or corvette forum.

Often these switches can be taken apart and cleaned up or repaired. I like to glass bead the contact parts.

Walter, Russ has the right idea, I myself have taken many switches a part and cleaned the contact surfaces, If the switch housing is aluminum just be careful when straightening the tangs they will break. I use a pencil eraser to clean the contacts and lube the switch contacts after with a small amount of dielectric grease.
