74 & 75 Replacement Combo Switch

[SteveJ]

Believe it or not, there is a source for new (or a very well refurbished) headlight switch. Rockauto has it for $199. Yes, that's more than what Dave charges, but I decided to take a chance on what Rockauto was selling. It was a perfect fit, too.

The switch is listed as STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS Part #HLS1026.

I'm glad I went this route. I happened to notice during the removal of the old switch that there were signs of wires overheating at the connector.

Dave, if you read this, does your parking light relay work with a 260Z?

Yes, the 9-pin PLH will work on all later 240Z with intermittent wiper, All 260Z's and 280Z's up to Jan 77' I think. As long as it's one of those and it has a 9-pin connector on the combo switch, you're good. I still offer the early 6-pin PLH as well. Same price for both. $50

Thanks, Dave. I'm going to take a closer look tomorrow to see which wires were the ones overheating.

I wonder if the combo switch I bought will work in a 73 then. Can someone look at the parts CD for a cross reference to see if the 73 & 74 use the same switch?

all depends on your build date. If it's a later 73', it'll likely match and fit.
