Not sure what exactly I am looking for, but I am sure it is somewhere since I never throw anything away.
First item: I have the brake warning light and the bezel that clips into the dash. I also have the light bulb and wiring behind the dash. What I am missing is whatever connects to the back side of the brake warning light bezel for the bulb and socket to plug into. What am I looking for, I cant find a picture in the parts manual. Is it a metal piece that kind of looks like the back of dash screw on part that holds on the the cigarette lighter? That is what I am picturing for some reason, but I may be way off base.
Second item: Whatever holds the light switch to the dash. I spent some time looking for screw on bezels marked "wipers" and "lights" and then a light bulb came on and I realized these are marked in chrome on the dash bezel itself. I have the light switch and the rod that operates it, but cannot picture what hold the switch to the dash. The switch is really recessed and I think there must be a long metal cylinder (2 1/2 inches or so) that goes into the light switch recess in the dash bezel and is threaded to screw into the switch itself behind the dash? Can anyone describe what I am looking for on this one.
I did find the Heat and AC control faceplate after looking through everything an entire day and finally located it under the hot water heater in the garage where it had fallen off the shelf. I did quite a bit of part sorting and box labeling then. I really did not bag the screws when I took things apart, since the screws were such a mismatch of correct and incorrect parts. I am using all new nut and bolt kits for reassembly if possible.
I am not doing badly at all trying to do this from memory when I took it apart over two years ago. If I had know it would be in the body shop for over two years, I would have taken a few pictures. My wife tells me "I told you so" about the pictures every day. That helps. That helps alot. LOL
