Thanks for your help. I got into the wiring leading to the floor dimmer switch from the headlight switch and tried to remove the connector from the switch. The dimmer switch came apart as I pulled on the connector. I cleaned the contacts and did a quick hot glue gun fix and headlights came...

Thanks for your help. I got into the wiring leading to the floor dimmer switch and tried to remove the connector from the switch. The dimmer switch came apart as I pulled on the connector. I cleaned the contacts and did a quick hot glue gun fix and headlights came on! I am off to the parts...

Two questions how can I tell which switch wire is the headlight supply wire that goes to dimmer switch. I guess I can try to backtrack from the dimmer switch yet I hope that is not the only way. Also, where can I find a wiring diagram for a 64 Barracuda? Thanks

Thanks, that helps.

I am not sure I understand what you mean by dimmer switch but let me tell you what I did. I pulled the switch shaft to the headlight "on" position. No headlight. I rotated the knob and noted that dash lights dim and go out. I rotated the knob so that dash lights were again visible. I...

Dash lights dim when knob on switch is rotated.

Replacing a frozen headlight switch restored parking and dash lights but not the headlights. Headlamps light when wired directly to battery -- both high and low beam. Have cleaned all gang connectors under dash and at fire wall. Checked and cleaned fuse contacts and confirmed conductivity...

Headlight switch is replaced. But still NO headlights. I now have parking lights and at least some dash lights but neither regular or high beams on the headlights. I directly wired headlights to the battery and they come on both low and high. I have cleaned all the gang couplings under the...

A few hard pulls (which rocked the car) and the knob came off. Not the outcome I was hoping for, but it at least allows me to move forward. Thanks everyone for your help. The best thing is no more car yoga. The last time I wormed my way under that steering wheel in front of the seats, my leg...

I didn't see a set screw but will look again. Absent that I guess I will see what it takes to pull out the stem or pull off the knob. I assume the stem and knob can be purchased just like the switch body?? Thanks for everyone's help. JAS

I am restoring my Barracuda and cannot pull the headlight knob from the dash to either the parking light or the full on position. It does not budge. Since I can't remove the knob and the stem, I cannot remove the switch body from behind the dash. I have tried reaching behind the dash to push...
