..And, oh..... horror of horrors...!

Installed both switches and one appeared to be bad. Pulled it from the dash, and checked it with my digital ohmmeter, and it tested good. (Wha???). Reinstalled it, and jiggled (technical term?) the two leads, and the Lucas toggle would work intermittently. Both push-on spade lugs were tight on the switch, but..... one of the leads had tension on it, in that it was tightly routed. Rerouted the wire to free it up, and all was good.

Apparently the tension on the Lucas terminal caused enough of an internal misalignment that prevented the innards from closing the circuit(!). Lucas...gotta love 'em....

The price we pay for authenticity!!!
