Apologies if my posts are incredibly rudimentary for most folks on this board, I'm learning as I go so appreciate you bearing with me as I muddle through. The switch is back in and wired up and battery reconnected. Now, instead of the motor turning over I'm getting a noise similar to clicking...

The screws fit into the switch fine when it’s out of the ignition but they just don’t want to thread in when installed. Going to try and find those grubs screws and try again.

Thanks, didn't know to look for that so appreciate the suggestion. Managed to not lose any parts during disassembly (that I know of)!

Managed to get the switch out without having to remove the entire ignition. The two grub screws turned out to be small Philips-head which an eye glass repair kit screwdriver fit perfectly. Just a lot of tear-down of the dash to get there. Question on the reassembly --- is there an ignition...

I enlisted the wife, actually, b/c of the close quarters and we also used a magnet to keep from losing the little screws.

New switch (for best case scenario) as well as two new shear bolts (for less-than-best case scenario) arrived today. Tomorrow, let's see if we can get those little set screws out and swap the switch out without removing the entire ignition assembly.

Will keep you posted on how it goes.

I'm going to try to do the same. Wish me luck.

Will do, battery is disconnected. New switch and shear bolts (just in case) are on their way. I should have something to work on over the weekend whilst we are being buried in snow. Should get 8" overnight and another 8" tomorrow. You said "There are two wee grub screws holding the 'switch' in...

Hi everyone - I'm wondering if it is possible to replace part #2 (circled, image 1) without removing the entire ignition cylinder assembly. Appears that one of the connections broke off and the two wires which were attached (image 2, inside green circle) are no longer attached to the switch...

In all seriousness, the parts came in, swapped over the gauges, tested and all work incl the warning lights panel and then... testing while reassembling, no more gauges, no more warning lights, no more turn indicators... I do however have headlight, hi/lo and fog lights on the dash. The...

That is sage advice around not trying to use the "correct" screw --- I'm learning that the "correct" screw is the one that gets the job done (and since I can't find assembly instructions, who is to tell me otherwise)! I did the same thing and ordered a batch of screws in stainless and now just...

Hi everyone - Still working through replacing all the cracked plastic bits and removing the random stuff found behind the dash (marbles?). Wanting to rebuild using the right hardware, screws and bolts as I replace the binnacle and surrounding components, rather than the random assortment of...

This is my winter project, an '84 110. Pretty much stock in the cabin, so needs the usual repairs/upgrades around cracked plastic, missing screws, squeaks, etc. Have been on the boards asking around dash lights and will prob be back for more help, soon! Meantime, new binnacle, mounts, etc...

These are great, thank you!

You mentioned the switch the kills the dash illumination lights --- I'm looking at the workshop manual, is this the switch referenced as #26 in the shop manual (for a 2.5 diesel)? I located the hazard switch buried in the wiring behind the dash --- it works fine and I've pulled it out and...

Yes, and some others... well....I've inquired of the previous owner but it was an import (export) from the UK and NENE has limited info available to share so I just move on and learn from here!

Thanks, I’ll check the purple when I’m back in the garage. Tracing the lines back from each of the bulb sockets for the gauge lights, they run into the black “socket” which was disconnected to remove the gauge cluster, so unsure where the white “socket” plays in or perhaps I’m missing a...

The three switches you mention by the knee are just blanks (see picture). Haven't found the switch to control the lights but *did* find the missing hazard switch behind all the wiring and buried in the dash. Thought maybe the hazard switch was repurposed for the lights but no luck. Continuing to...

I'm having similar issues and will check behind the dash tomorrow, hopefully this will solve the issue with my 110.
