82' Imp. Digital Dash

["David Utecht" <stealthloader@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   I had this problem when I bought my 81 just over two years ago and had to
re-wire the entire headlight circuit, $$$.  The headlight switch, as my then
local Chrysler dealer in New Mexico told me, is no longer available.
However, I got a new one from Checker Auto Parts for about $15.  They listed
the same part number for several different cars so I don't know just how
heavy duty it is.  The 1979 and up Dodge St.Regis and Chrysler New Yorker I
believe uses the same switch.  A burned switch seems to be a common problem
with this model car.  I have seen it on every Dodge Mirada, Chrysler Cordoba
and Imperial I have come across in the salvage yards, so for everyone out
there that has one of these cars I suggest you keep a spare one handy.

I also had a similar problem with the headlight switch causing
the dash to go out. If you need the later mopar pt no. i can dig it
out for you, the imp switch is unique to imps even though it
appears to be similar to the lesser cars.
