how do i know which way is on, there is no light that says its on. cuz i cant get it to work

 

Push the side furthest from the gauge cluster and it'll be on. There's normally a light on the dash that goes on when you have it on.

 

hmmm. none of my lights come on when i push it, i think the switch is dead

 

Mine apparently has a pretty dirty switch. The light comes on when it's on, but only if I mess with the switch... if it's moved about 3/4 of the way to the "on" position, the light will come on most of the time... but I have to flip it back and forth several times every morning when I need it... then I find out that only the very top wire works. How annoying.

 

The switch is held in within just one screw. Mine does the same thing as jweather's. I pulled one out a wrecker and noticed several loose contact points, so I'm now assuming that my switch has the same problem. Pulling it out isn't hard - take a look.

 

My Light wasn't working either and I didn't have voltage at the glass when the switch was on. I replaced the bulb and now it has juice at the glass. It must be inline I guess.
