Burning Smell form headlight switch
Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anyone can help me out. I was driving my 66 beelte last night, and just out of curiosity I turned the dimmer on the headlight
switch. Next thing I know there is a burning smell coming from the headlight switch, no smoke that I could see though.
Whn I got home the battery was so flat the car wouldnt even turn over. I have taken the switch out of the dash, which smells, but none of the wiring
looks damaged at all.
So my question is; Has anyone had the same experience and will changing it out for a new switch most likely fix my problem?
Thanks for listening

Hey mate,

New switch should fixate issues...
just because its a kit car... doesnt mean its not a vw!
