How about me sitting here with a red face (embarrassed big-time) because I got distracted when I posted this and forgot to make clear that DAVID EIDELL and MEXICOWANDERER and one and the same. Still the "Welcome To Allpar" felt good all over again. This is one GREAT community and I feel privileged to be a member. Thank you all!
I am going to fix that durned switch if it has not melted! I cried at the price of DeOxit D100 when I bought it (the large size with the needle applicator) but now I am soooo glad! Also loaded up on soldering equipment, solder, flux a "Third Hand (the moveable clips holder thingee)" and the rest of the unobtainable repair stuff before I headed back down a year or two ago.
Even at my advanced age I remain a MoPar fan. I'll never forget "Old Bullet Head" a shaved bald California Highway Patrol officer pulling into a Standard Station in his sparkling brand new Dodge Polaris, and raising the hood (that brand new car engine smell). Inside was a Hemi dual AFB cross ram engine. By chance a local hot rodder screamed by in his '55 Chevy and Bullet Head slammed down the hood, jumped in the car, started the engine and smoked the rear tires for a long - long way. I heard the moan from both Carter AFB's for more than a quarter-mile. How could a person not become a MoPar fan after seeing that?
Jumping back to reality one of my wishes is to find a translated OEM factory repair manual in Español. The hardest part about getting old is knowing how to do stuff, having lots of experience and an inability to function physically. A talented mature mechanic, Celso, is going to do the water pump, timing belt and tensioner maintenance turnaround but he has no experience with the 3.0 V6 engine. I ordered the Gates full kit, plus valve cover gaskets, all brand new gates hoses (every last inch of them), new all-stainless steel hose clamps, a CV boot, Variable rate rear springs, shocks and struts. I also ordered a gallon can of KROIL for him. He simply could not believe how good a penetrant that stuff is. I don't think I have enough time left before the stuff gets picked up to order a switch. I sort of figured it is a dealer item and most dealers and reluctant to send stuff UPS. If I traitored out and switched to a Ford or a Datsun, Oops I mean Nissan, I wouldn't face these "issues". Fat chance of that happening...
