1972 HeadLight Door Monitoring Switch

[Roger D.]

I have a 1972 Coupe 350/auto. In section 12, sheet A3.5 (in case you have a copy) of my Assembly Information Manual it shows what is titled to be HDLP Support, Actuator ASM & HDLP Door Monitoring Switch. Mine is missing from the right headlight door assembly. It shows to be GM part number 3951239.

Does anyone know what the switch is for? Does it send an indication to the cockpit in some way? If I needed to get one are they hard to find?

Thanks in advance,
Roger

The switch activates an indicator on the dash to let you know if the headlamps are not open when the lights are on.

The switch was discontinued in January, 1994. However, I believe that reproductions are available from most of the Corvette parts vendors.

Thanks Joe, Dick. That is what I needed to know. I really appreciate your help as always. This is a great group here. Hopefully someday I will be knowledgeable enough to answer some questions instead of just asking all the time.
