Re: {Chrysler 300} Electrical Gremlins

With 63-64, I have seen this type of thing happen.  The back side of the instrument cluster contains two primitive simple circuit cards.  The contacts and grounds sometimes need to be cleaned. 
Napa does sell a decent replacement headlight switch, although one time I got a defective one that would start turning off the headlights when on high beam (thermostatic breaker).  They gave me a new one and all good.  These switches have rheostats that, if old and oxidized, can cause dash lights to fail to illuminate.

TBH, it sounds like wires are hooked up any which way without consulting the schematic. And this is the result.

Knob turned to the left all the way but not clicking to turn on dome light,no right turn indicator. Turned all the way dome light comes on. That works. Turned all the way right and right turn indicator works. Turned about halfway the high beam indicator (red) blinks with the right turn signal ( green arrow blinks also). High beam light doesn’t work in any position other than blinking with indicator. Dash lights never come on in any position.Electrical isn’t my strong suit. Any ideas?
