Hi can anyone tell or show me how the light for the 1848 Continental ignition switch is supposed to be fixed to the dash? Its shown in the wiring diagram and I have a wire and bulb coming out of the harness, but I can’t figure how it was originally mounted.

What a great story! Can you provide more details?

I have one that came with the 48 I recently purchased. I live near Chicago. Like to have it go to a good home and I have no need for it. It looks solid to me. Call me to discuss. 847-997-9944

Well, it’s out and I’m so glad I did. Now I have room and can go through every tag every wire and replace every vacuum hose.

Looks too far gone for scrap

How difficult is it to remove the dash on my ‘48? Between the wiper motor and switch, vacuum antenna hardware, radio, etc., and everything else I need to address back there, wouldn’t I be just better off pulling the dash away from the firewall? There is virtually no room to do work properly. From what I can see, it does not look too bad. Anyone done this?

Hi all, I need to rebuild the wiper switch on my ‘48 Lincoln Continental, anyone know of a kit?

Thanks guys, the flasher I bought is 6 volt positive ground. Not sure on the heavy duty part, but will

I will reverse the wires on the flasher and post my results, thanks to all!

Hi all, my 1948 Lincoln vacuum antenna does not operate up or down. I’d love to find a kit and rebuild it, but can anyone recommend someone for this service? Probably dried up seals, but maybe not. Thanks!

Hi, anyone done this before and have any tips? Is there any printed material on how to do this?

Thanks for the reply, and it’s clearly 6V and I’m not an LED guy, strictly how Henry built it.

Both left and right side flash waaaay to fast. This is on my 1948 Lincoln with a 6 volt positive ground. All four of my bulbs look good with clean connections. Ground issue or defective flasher?

Well I’ve pulled the transmission for rebuilding. Got to do it right

Well I jumped the turn signal switch and flasher and I’ve determined my turn switch AND flasher were bad. I will post results, thanks to everyone.

I love the idea, I’ll do it. Thanks very much!

Hi all, the turn signals in either side do not operate on my ‘48 Continental Cabriolet, can’t find a flowchart anywhere and my wiring diagram is near impossible to read. Anyone know where to start? Thanks.

You were spot on. I borrowed a spring spreader and while it was not a fun job, it’s out now and ready to go to the rebuilders this Saturday

Hi, I’m no novice and I pulled and installed the trans on my ‘37 Zephyr, but I yanked the engine first. This time, I’ll be removing the axle etc., any tips to ease the job? Spring must be separated from the axle or can they be removed together? Thanks!

Unless it’s YOUR home.

Here is mine after installation, I’m very happy about it. Thanks to everyone
