69 Vert Help Needed
G'day Guys,
Looking for some mor help in identifying parts in my 69 vert. I have a couple of photo's below showing what I believe is what is left of one of the door jam interior light switches and what I think is the access hatch in the rear wheel well.
Am I correct? If I am, does anyone know what page in the assembly manual I will find them shown on(I have looked, but can only find the switch at the front of the doors) and which p/n in any of the parts catalogues is used to replace the switch (both sides are in the same condition)?
Regards,
Mark

You don't have to access the backside.
Here are a couple 1 pole and 2 pole
Any parts store around here has them and can order others. Only 2 or 3 bucks apiece.

I'm surprised an alarm shop doesn't have an assortment of every switch made.
Sounds like you're in S Florida.
The ones you linked are very common. I use a lot of. Fits a lot of years.
If nothing else, they can always add these where necessary in the door jamb just for the new alarm. Plenty of room in there.
To check yours, just unscrew using a 1/2" deep socket.

UPC 12 C5 in the 69 AIM. Shows the wiring routed through the lock post to the rear of the switch. If you've been living right, the wiring will come with the switch when you remove the old switch.

Hi Mark,
I believe the nut your picture shows is part of the switch... it's the plunger part of the switch that's broken off.
Have you tried pulling on the nut while you turn it?
If you look in through the inspection port you should be able to see what's going on for sure.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

The nut I was refering to, is the internal thread that the switch screws into. I will try grabbing the external hex body of the switch with vice grips and turning to see if it will catch the thread and screw out,wish me luck.
