Re: [DML] Delorean wiring

Bill and group. As already stated is's current not voltage that kills the 
switch over time. I can normally take the switch apart clean the contacts and 
reposition them and should work fine. 
I am also working on a fix to divert the current away from the switch.

<< Wasn't going to say anything, but thread Re: voltage (I think you all
mean amps) thru headlight switch prompts the following:

When I got my D first thing I did was study its wiring. Initially
thought was asinine (differs greatly from contemporary Detroit or
Kenosha). Now see some wisdom behind the design. Martin Gutkowski is
correct -- amperage thru headlight switch isn't enough to melt
anything (not counting the bulb). This applies for all other dash
controls as well. Makes sense to keep the amps behind the seat, does
it not?

FWIW: My headlight switch is squirrely too. Sometimes routes the
juice, sometimes does not. At one point had to drive w/ relay jumpered
(can you say "language barrier" -- since when does "main beam" mean
all 4!). I rigged up a concealed switch to pypass the dash control
when it wants to be cantakerous. Has behaved itself since. I think
it's intimidated.

Now, if I could only find a decent ground on a plastic car ...
