Need Headlight Switch 73 Brave D20

Tumbleweed · February 23, 2015, 11:23 PM

Been looking on the forums here for many of my wiring question and searching for part numbers or products to replace my headlight and panel light switches with. Found on post on here that references the headlight and panel light switch as being a Dual Pole Triple Throw or DPTT switch however I cannot seem to find a switch with the exact same configuration as these switches.

6 Pins on the back in an OFF ON ON rocker switch config.

Anybody have a product name or link to a product they have used in the past to replace there switches?

The DS-165 Headlight switch from what I can see is for a later model Winnebago. The headlight switch in my D20 is a 3 position rocker switchwith OFF at the bottom. Not a push/pull/rotating reostat type. Says "Mexico" on the metal bezel.

If Winnebago replaced the stock Dodge push-pull headlight switch (e.g. custom rig with fancy dash), then I suggest you take a some front and back pictures then work with Mobility RV (http://www.winnebagoparts.com/) to locate a replacement switch.

Got the headlight switch. Was mistaken about the number of male spade terminals on the back. Thought there were 6 but there are only 4. The switch is a dual pole double throw (DPDT) Carling black Contura II in an OFF ON 1 ON 2 set up. Works perfect for the Winnie.

Got the switch from K4 switches here in El Cajon, California.
There part number was 14-505. It cost me around $12 ea.

I got two of them. The second one is to replace the panel lights switch. Only drawback is they are not labled. Good thing is Carling sells just the rocker piece of the switch and they offer switches with lables and pictures.
