[DeTomaso] Electrical Gremlins Revisited

[boyd casey]

So Bill can rebuild your directional / high beam switch . A new one is
around $300 bucks .Boyd
PS. There is a tech article about removing the key part of the ignition
switch at the "My pantera Place" web sight. The electrical component of the
ignition switch is held in place by two small screws. It comes out with all
the wires attached and you can clean it out and test the contacts.
