 Posted: Mon Mar 27, 2006 2:54 pm Post subject: Rotary light switch |
 |
|
Hi all
I’m trying to figure out how to wire my rotary light switch.
It's a MB/GPW made by Douglas mfg co and it was wrapped in a waxed paper
It's brand new but looks like it was made in the 40/50s
The JEEP I have is a CJ3B/M606 -56
Not original rotary light switch but close enough 
I’m using http://webs.lanset.com/buzz/JPSWC.pdf as a reference.
So far I have 2 problems/questions
1. What is a term strip ?? (Don’t understand that word)
2. On the rotary switch there is one more connection than on the push/pull
"BOD" and I have no clue what that is for. Any ideas?
All ideas suggestions are welcome
I'm going to make a "home made" wiring for the JEEP, can't afford to order one from the US.
Shipping, custom fee & VAT is way too much for me.

Niclas,
sounds like your customs - VAT - importation fees are worse than here in the UK, I figure, what ever it costs in the US, I have to nearly double by the time it gets to the UK.
Good Luck,
Dave |

Any clue about what BOD is ?
@Dave

A store dealing in electronic components should have them, I mean parts such as transistors and things of the like. If you know of any amateur radio operators (Ham) they can point you in the correct direction...
While in Germany there were Radio Shack stores there they would carry them, at least here in the states they do...
If you can not find one let me know by email and I will try to help you...
Hope this helps... |
