Murf, in my case my lights don't come on because the switch is bad. My theory is that the sockets were so bad that they all needed to be rebuilt using Ron's method that I believe they were shorted and that's what burned my switch out. The plastic body on mine is charred to the point that it still doesnt work after cleaning it.

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM
