juanatejeda Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hello all!Anyone out there, maybe, have a good, workable Ignition / Light Switch sitting around not doing anything?I may be in need of one for my Paddy Wagon. We are going through it right now and it doesn't look good. Hoping we can rebuild it, but we are not sure it is rebuildable.If you have one or know where I can get one, PLEASE let me know ASAP. If you have one, let me know what you want for it and what the avialability is.Juanjuantejeda@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texacola Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Juan...couldn't blow up the image. Do you have a key? Is it clum? Is so it is a clum ignition/lighting switch same as mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanatejeda Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Yes, I have a key and it does operate the lights as well as working the ignition. And I may need one! We have it torn apart and are trying to rebuild it, but not sure how it will come out or if it will work when we are done.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanatejeda Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 This isn't my truck, but it is the same Ignition/Light switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texacola Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Juan... my "North East parts price book" dated 9/26 shows your switch.The 6v model is part #18456 with lighting positions:OFF DIM ON. DB special models used # 18457---PARK OFF DIM ON. They are said to be the same as 12v units except they are "Resistance Units".Interesting......now I have to check mine which is a 6v system but my switch is neither of the above but rather what looks like an '18-'25 unit which is listed as 12v.Maybe resistance has been added?Anyway if you have an original key it should say CLUM on it with a #,and if its original to your truck it would have DB and a #....i.e. mine is DB90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanatejeda Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Sounds like you have a good source. I am pretty sure that mine is the 6v part #18456 as mine does not show a PARK position and yes I do have the old key, but to tell you the truth I have never looked at it close enough to see if there is anything printed on it. It is a small, funny looking key, so I guess I'll check it.Can you send me the Web page for North East Parts, I would love to see their price book. In the mean time I'll see if I can find them.

MikeC5 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I think it is a Clum switch; the handle looks like mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanatejeda Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 I think it is a Clum switch; the handle looks like mine.Yes, I'm sure it is. We just finished rebuilding it today and it seems to be working OK. Thanks for all the input and help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texacola Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Juan....guess you missed Jason's joke? Northeast Electric has bee gone for like a million years. What I have is a copy of their price book printed in Sept. 1926. I bought it on ebay awhile back...has pictures of the parts,part #'s,6v or 12v and forthe most part what years each applies to.If you use ebay I'll see if I can find the sellers Id in case you want to buy one. I try to pick up everything I can (manuals etc.) which apply to my vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanatejeda Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Well he got me alright! As for the switch, I think we got ours working. We finished rebuilding it and it seems to be working fine.Thanks to all of you for your help and input.By the way, I did find a Northeast Company and they do deal in parts, but not the switch, at least as far as I could find........LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texacola Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Juan,was it difficult to take apart...springs and things flying out and stuff? When apart does the key tumbler and switch handle come out easily? I ask as mine works fine but I would like to have the handle replated but not at the expense of screwing up the working switch.

juanatejeda Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 It was n't too bad, just have to go at it slow and be careful. Probably should have taken some pics, but we didn't. Just take your time and it will work out. This was the first time and we were a little worried about screwing it up, but it seems to be working fine, at least for now, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
