strangeplant Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I got a 1934 Dodge Clum 9526 from eBay with the intent of adapting it to my Hudson car. It will take some machining, and I can do that. I'm looking for information on the original designed use connections to this switch so I can apply it correctly. If lucky, I won't need to modify it at all. Anyone happen to have a 1934 Dodge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nearchoclatetown Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Why not just buy the correct switch for your car instead of ruining this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArticiferTom Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Do you have a number for the switch needed ? Or pic of mount on Hudson . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strangeplant Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 In the past, I've heard of one of these selling for $350 to $450. I've never seen one myself, except on a museum car, or a car at Hershey. I've been looking for three years. They just do not exist and tend to self-destruct because of the high amps load of the headlights. I'm going to solve that by using relays under the dash. The switch does not have a stamped number as far as I know. The following is the best picture I can find. Not too helpful. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZQL0B4nYYN9dFglNHtQOnAvYylDxcKA7/view?usp=sharing Shows the switch on the end of the steering column. The terminals come off the body at 80 deg angle. The switch internally has 11 contacts in a circle. The Dodge switch has 12. No big difference. I just need to know where the terminals attach to for the Dodge, should be something like 1 Off, 2 Brake lite enabled, 3 running and cowl light on,4 low beam headlight, 5 high beam headlight. Switch did have a fuse (not needed) and a dropping resistor wire coil for the low beam (can be done off-switch). The center shaft was hollow, with the horn wire passing through, and that can be drilled. I think its totally proper to construct this missing switch any way I can and if I can keep a car working by using a modified Dodge switch, well, that's the way its gotta be. There is a long procedure worked out and available to replace the contact innards of a destroyed or inoperable switch using the mechanical assembly. I was just hoping to find someone with a wiring diagram for the Dodge so I can apply that to my car. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Google "1934 Dodge wiring diagram" and you may find your answer. By that car photo, it looks like you need one that looks more like this one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) What year is the Hudson? Maybe I can find the number of the correct switch that you need. If it is a 1929, the number you need is CLUM 10717. Edited February 14, 2019 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Here are the Hudson entries for 1929 onwards. I see what you mean about hard to find! The lighting switch is the column with Clum at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAH Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 strangeplant, That '34 Dodge Brothers switch is NOT designed for the bottom of the steering column. It id=s dash mounted and operated by a lever. The '34 has a weird headlight wiring system. In headlight Lo the switch connects to both Driver and Pass side headlights BUT in the HI position the Pass side connects to the hi filament however on the driver side there is a foot operated switch that dims that side by operating the foot switch. This foot operated dimmer switch affects ONLY the driver side headlight. I have a CLUM steering column switch 10661 (or 10681) If you like I can send pix. It does operate by the hollow shaft down the inside of the steering column shaft by a compression nut to capture it to that shaft. Send Me a PM for more info.

Spinneyhill Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) I note that in the Nationanal Data Manual, the '34 Dodge DR and DS both had Clum 9556 switches, not 9526. Clum 9526 is shown for the 1934 Hupmobile 417-W, 421-J, 427-T; 1935 517-W, 521-O, 527-T and 1936 621-N.

Guest Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 You should start your own topic rather than hi-jacking a thread that was started Feb. 13, 2019 and has not been visited since Feb. 16, 2019 except for your post. Good luck with your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
