Re: headlight switch grounded?

[chymar01@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Brake lights also run through the headlight switch. I've been over the wiring diagrams a hundred times bu now. 
Printed circuit board is OK. If I run a jumper from power across the switch(es) to where the dash lights and parking lights get power they work fine. Same with the brake lights. 
I just can't see FIVE different switches all being bad.

NO, it doesn't have to be installed. Dash & interior lights could or 
probably will be a problem with the dimmer portion of the switch. Turn the 
knob back and forth to see if lights work or blink. Brake lights run 
through the turn signal switch that is usually were that problem is. Also 
check the printed circuit board on the back of your instrument panel for 
thin sections burned open.

Hey all, 

I'm in the process of fixing the melted wiring in my 64 Polara. 
Does the headlight switch have to be grounded(to the dash I guess) to work 
properly? 
I've tried several switches and I have no dash, interior or brake lights. 
This is with the switch plugged into the harness but not mounted to the dash
