Hi all,

I am in the same boat. My headlight switch melted down in the off position
when a friend was using the van on vacation.



I plan to upgrade to the headlight relay and troubleshoot the dimmer circuit
to make sure that there are no grounds before putting in a new switch. Which
is all well and good if I can find one of these infamous switches



The problem is that  I cannot find the 1991 version of the headlight switch
new or used. The part number is 251941531T or Q.



Any ideas on where to source the switch? I am totally open.



Thanks!



Kevin
