Re: Headlamp switch feeling the heatwave also



I've had the same thing happen, apparently somewhat common. But not 
to a "new" switch, just to an old one. I'll bet the operative phrase 
here will be "no returns on electrical parts". You'll probably have 
to buy another one.

You were lucky, when it happened to mine it the lights would only 
stay on if I held the switch in with my finger. Interesting drive 
home in the dark, with a manual transmission car.
